    Well now they can play the kids the rest of the season and prepare for next year...

    Since the collapse happened later this year, it might be plausible that next year is the year the Pirate win as many or even more than they lose.

    On the plus side, they broke 2 million attendance for the first time since 2001.

    bitter

    what's mildly amusing is that the nl central division winner didn't even finish in the top 3 in attendance in its own division

    Same thing could be said about the AL east when Baltimore wins the division. :)

    Sorry, Pirates fans. You don't deserve 20 years of losing.

    Take it from an Orioles fan, things can turn around when you least expect them to.

    Speaking of attendance (though off topic in the general thread), I just looked it up and 7 of the 8 worst attendances are AL teams. And the one NL team among them is going to be an AL team next year.

    The last season in which AL per-game attendance exceeded NL was 1995. That was one of five such seasons within the past 57.

    As much as I hated the Pirates in the 70s during the time of a strong Philly-Pittsburgh rivalry, I do feel sorry for our cross-state fans these days. Heck, even Mets fans don't deserve what you are going through. </ducking>

    That 6-month-old toddler in the stands for the last time the Pirates finished over .500 can go to next season's opener with a legal ID if he wants to drink heavily. In fact, I recommend that he do so.
