I agree Garrett. The Cubs will win the World Series eventually. If the Pirates don't make it to the Series and the Cubs do I'd become a Cubs fan temporarily because I'd sure like to see them win. I've been alive for three Pirates World Series wins. I don't remember the 1960 win since I was in diapers. I was too busy with the military in 1979 to have paid attention to that win. The 1971 Pirates are my dream team. They were up against the Baltimore Orioles who had an unheard of four 20 game winning pitchers while the Pirates had none. Despite being down two games to none, the Pirates pulled it off. For now, I'd just be happy if the Pirates have a winning season. If they don't it will make 20 years in a row of more losses than wins. No other team in all of USA big league sports has been that bad. *puts down stone*
