Season Previews: Pittsburgh Pirates


Now that it's Spring, it's time for one of our favorite things in all the world: Season Previews. Two years ago, they began as a serious analysis and ended up as half-assed haiku. We're just gonna go with what we know. Moving right along with our preview of the National League Central, we give you: the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Bert Belongs!First things first: Signing
Rinku and Dinesh made me
a huge Pirates fan.

"We Are Family!"
Remember '79?
I saw Game 7…

…on Netflix! Go Bert!
30 years since that Series
Bucs haven't been since.

Such great history--
Wagner! Clemente! Stargell!
The future… LaRoche?

Sixteen losing years
It can't get any worse…right?
Oh, famous last words.

If you're in P'burgh
Go, just for PNC Park!
Such a nice ballpark.

This year it will be
Seventeen losing seasons
Bucs will finish last.
