Totally rooting for the Pirates right now

1. They haven't been there in 21 years
2. HATE the Reds ever since the days of the Big Red Machine, which multiplied by a factor of order when Marge Schott ran the team
3. My BFF was killed by Cincinnati area police
4. I've been to Pittsburgh and have a friend there, I was surprised at what a lovely town it is
5. One of the prettiest parks in baseball

**** the pirates

go buccos!!!!! goodbye reds!!!!!!

doesn't really matter considering neither team has enough to get to the world series. prolonging the inevitable.

i dont buy that, wild card teams and underdogs have as much of a shot as anyone.

would u rather make the playoffs or not make the playoffs? i never bought into the idea youre sellin

braves arent a good team, will lose first round. only powerhouse team is the dodgers and we've seen powerhouses lose plenty of times. were the giants really the best team in ppls mind goin into the playoffs the last couple yrs?? no

St. Louis in 2011, Boston in 2004, Florida in 2003, Anaheim in 2002, Florida in 1997.

All wild-card teams that won the World Series.

all better teams than the 2013 pirates

making the playoffs when you have no chance of actually winning the world series/championship is a terrible place to be, at least in the NBA and NFL, I guess the MLB might be different. It makes it so you get crappy draft picks every year and you have no way to actually advance your franchise. Look at the Milwaukee Bucks. They make the playoffs every single year as an 8 seed and they lose in the first round every single year. They will never be better than that, but they will never be worse than that, because they're trapped in this limbo that no team wants to actually be in. (never is of course relative, the Bucks could certainly find some luck and become excellent in 10 years or something)

well yea since we know now they all end up winnin the world series lol
