The Bucco's Are Coming...

Don't look now Pirate fans, but the season is just around the corner. In fact, the Pirates first spring training game is set for early next week against the Minnesota Twins, so gear up for another season of baseball in the burgh!

This isn't really a season preview, but I like to give my opinion about the old Bucs. As most know, just like Bice, I am very pessimisstic when it comes to the Buccos. Don't get me wrong, I like going to games, I like the team, and I really, really hope they do well. But I am somewhat of a realist when it comes to the Pirates and I like others, realize that the direction of this team will not change until ownership changes. And when I say change, I don't mean Bob Nutting wakes up one day and isn't a greedy bastard and decides the good people of Pittsburgh deserve a winner. I mean a new owner must take over the reigns of the club. I do feel like their is a little bit of hope with Frank Coonely and Neal Huntington running the operations though. It's just a wait and see situation.

Now on to this season. I think the Buccos will do worse than last year. With two LaRoche's on your team, you are almost asking for a loser. The pitching staff/bullpen are still very questionable. The only positive is that the position players coming back; Nasty Nate, Freddy, Doumit and Jack Flash are a positive. I say they win 65 games this year. Even if they prove me wrong, I don't think they win any more than 70 games. With this type of lineup I just don't see it any other way.

Also....I was thinking that since the Buccos are so horrible and haven't won in so long, what is it that keeps the fans interested? Individual performances from our star players? We don't have many, but it does keep fans interested. Don't tell me for one second that you didn't pull for Freddy when he was chasing a batting title in 2006 or that you didn't want Nate to have a career year last season, which he did. I always hoped Jason Bay would be closing in on 40 homers at the end of the season so you had some interest in the club. I guess we can only hope that Nate wins another Gold Glove and somehow Freddy manages to win another batting title. I can only hope.

Yankees Blow Dong

So, I went to the Buccos game last night against the penis eating Yankees. Nasty Nate took one deep in the 7th for a two run shot which gave us the W. I have been saying Nate was a hero for years. I know some people can back me on this. I have been saying it because I hate Chris Duffy with a passion. I would always say "why is Shits Duffy starting? Nate McClouth should be in there at center, he's better than that head case Duffy." Most people would tell me that I was crazy and Duffy was awesome. Well, Chris Duffy is in AA Altoona and Nate is on the All-Star team. So suck my sack bitches. Anyways, I came up with an awesome idea to get a blown up picture of Madonna's and hold it up at the game to heckle A-rod with it. Me and my buddy Sam, who got the tickets and kindly invited me to the game, ended up getting two of these blown up pictures and proceeded to yell things like "Hey A-Rod, I got your girl" and "I love you A-rod, when's the divorce gonna be finalized?" Regardless of if he saw us or not, all of the Yankees fans hung their heads in shame and the Pirates fans cheered as we walked down to third base and heckled Mr. Rodriguez. The glory only lasted a matter of seconds as the dick head that was manning the section forced us to leave his sector. PNC Park should fire this man as he is not a Pirates fan and a communist. Still, I feel the plan was a success as A-rod went 0-4 and more importantly the Bucco's get the win. We take the series from the team that represents all that is evil about professional sports and all is right in the world. Now all the Buccos need to do is get to .500. If they do, my weener will be erect for months.


JASON: I totally agree about the weener thing. We should make mention of how awesome Paul Maholm has been this year. He's gone 16 innings his past two games giving up only 3 runs in that time. He's also been fantastic since the end of May. I guess striking out Billy Crystal gave him that extra boost of confidence he needed to take it to the next level. Bob Smizik wrote an article about how he may want to avoid becoming the Pirates Ace.

AsStro Kicking

I just finished eating a great homemade meal by my mommy and I thought it would be a good idea to sit down and enjoy a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game. I was wrong. As I sit here, the top of the first inning has ended and the Buccos are already losing 3 to 0. "Funky" Phil Dumatrait gave up 4 hits in the first. Looks like I better find somthing else to do this evening, like building with lego's or somthing. Maybe I'll find a pussy to play with. Yeah, a nice pussy. I know what you perverts are thinking, but I mean a nice little kitten. MORONS!

UPDATE: I can't stop watching. I feel like that kid that can't stop wacking it even after his parents have caught him in the act, but thats another story for another day. The Bucco's have once again proved me wrong. The Pirates now lead the Astros 4 to 3 after one inning of play. Maybe I should stick this one out and leave the pussy...I mean kittens alone.

UPDATE: Nate The Great has just hit his 16th Home Run of the season to give the Buccos a 5 to 3 lead over the Astros.

UPDATE: The X-man (Xavier Nady) drives in J-Bay (Jason Bay) with a double. Buccos lead 6 to 3.

UPDATE: My mom keeps yelling at me to do somthing, so I guess I'll wrap this up. Right now the Buccos lead 6 to 3 with a runner on first and two outs in the top of the 3rd inning. I decided just now that it would be cool to do a post with older sports uniforms. Starting sometime this week I'll make a sweet list of the "classic" sports uniforms that aren't around anymore. It will be super sweet, so don't miss it! By the way leave a comment if you think this chipmunk that the Astros chose as their mascot is a complete faggot.

FINAL: Buccos Win! Buccos Win! The Buccos won this game 10 to 7 over the Houston Astros and their gay mascot. This is a big win for the Buccos considering they got the shit kicked out of them against The Brew Crew. Big win. Lets Go Bucs!
