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.
