Its always nice to see some new blood break through and create a stir in those markets. I'd love to see a Pitt/KC Series, but I was kind of hoping for Baltimore/Pitt a throwback to the 79 series. I used to love watching Stargell/Parker and Murray/Singleton.

as much as i love underdogs i still got a diff kinda love for the powerhouses because i think its more fun when theres a bully on top of the mountain and everyone else is trying to knock him down. so if the pirates do get to the world series i hope its aganst a traditionally successful team of the past 10-20 yrs.

mccutheon is not only just an all around incredible player but he signed a VERY friendly deal and actually WANTS to be here. alvarez is one of the best young power guys in the game and will probably move to 1B at some point. marte is going to be amazing and they have one of the best prospects in baseball int he minors waiting to come up and play RF next year. pirates got a few big time arms in the minors too. its just fun to see, i went to a tuesday game a few weeks ago when cole was pitching and half the stadium didnt get in until the 2nd inning cause the lines were so damn long.

my stepdad is a big orioles fan and ive went to many games at camden yards (beautiful btw) and watched a ton of tv games so i root for them to do well in the AL

I can understand wanting to beat the best and taking out the bully. But I just love it when two smaller market teams can get over the threshold and take out the Evil Money trains. I certainly like what the farm system has been churning out for Pitt, they seem poised to be in the hunt for years. Alen Hanson is a prime pick out of the Dominican Republic. Cole is gonna be stellar and I love Taillon also, he'll be great in the future also. Too bad about J Bell blowing his knee out also. I love the baseball draft in particular. The Angels are my team and its been a rough year. Bad farm system to boot.
