Pittsburgh: The City of Champions… and the Pirates
Author: Aaron J19.06.2009
The Pittsburgh Penguins have won the Stanley Cup!
The one thing that’s annoying is that people who don’t know me think I’m just jumping on the winners’ bandwagon. An old man (who was apparently Arundel’s old football coach before Coach Mark) came in to Chick-fil-A wearing a Pens hat and a Steelers shirt. I told him I liked them, and he told me I couldn’t unless I was from Pittsburgh. Well of course I told him I was; I knew he thought I had just decided to like the Penguins and Steelers because they’re the best, despite the fact that I’ve liked them for years. But oh well. Once I move to Pittsburgh people will stop hassling me.
More proof I’m not a fair-weather fan: I’m also a fan of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Tonight, they lost 7-3 to a pretty good team, the Colorado Rockies. If they have a losing season this year, they will set a MLB record for most consecutive losing seasons. Right now they’re a little in the red, at .463.
But don’t worry, Buccos! We aren’t the worst team in the league yet…
Houston Astros – .462
Baltimore Orioles – .448
San Diego Padres – .446
Kansas City Royals – .439
Arizona Diamondbacks – .433
*Kait bought me tickets to see these guys play the Pirates :)
Oakland A’s – .431
Cleveland Indians – .420
And finally the hilarious:
Washington Nationals – .292
It’s teams like the Nats that give me hope for the Pirates.
