Quit whining!!! It's time for some positivity in here!!!!

[Surgnbuck]

You all know what? We're all just sitting around, moping, groaning, bitching, complaining, and pitchers and catchers report Wednesday!!!! What the hell is wrong with all of us? "We didn't get a corner outfielder, we didn't get a back end reliever". Oh, BOO FREAKING HOO!!! Come on guys, let's get excited, let's start thinking of POSITIVE STUFF! Things to hang our hats on!!!

I'll go first:

The Pirates haven't lost a World Series in 97 years!!! Yankees can't beat that. Dodgers can't beat that. Red Sox can't beat that. NONE OF THEM BIG MARKET CHUMPS! NOT THE RICH TEAMS!! NOT THE POOR TEAMS! NOT 20 FEET OF CRAP! NOT ONE SINGLE MLB TEAM HAS A LONGER STREAK!!!!

You know what the polar opposite of the joy of seeing your team win the World Series is? The absolute suck of having to see your team LOSE a World Series!!!!

Each team's streak of not having lost a World Series:
Pirates-97
Cubs-79
White Sox- 65
Angels- 63
Twins- 59
Nationals- 55
Reds- 52
Toronto- 47
Mariners- 47
Orioles- 45
Brewers- 42
Red Sox- 38
Athletics- 34
Marlins- 31
Padres- 26
Braves- 25
Giants- 22
Rockies- 17
Rangers- 13
Tigers- 12
Cardinals- 11
Royals- 10
Mets- 9
Cleveland- 8
Dodgers- 6
Tampa- 4
Astros- 3
Phillies- 2
Arizona- 1
Yankees- 0

I expect stellar additions in the exceptional style and quality that only this board can produce. Now, get to work ladies!!!! Put away your GD crying towels and get your ass excited about something!!!

Your optimism about the Bucs is amazing. Your rant gave me a needed laugh on SuperBowl Sunday. I'm eagerly awaiting ST and then the 2025 season where the streak will become 98 if we can just rid ourselves of GMBC, Shelty, and of course Owner BOB.

I'm predicting the baseballs will all be the proper size and shape!!!

The Pirates franchise maintains perhaps the greatest streak in all major league history having gone 138 consecutive years as the only organization to have buried a monkey beneath home plate.

How about it is the 100th anniversary of the 1925 World Series Championship.

When Nutting finds that out, he’ll hold some sort of special night to get people to come to the park. He’s really good at taking advantage of past franchise successes he had nothing to do with.

Oops, sorry. That was negative.

You are right Surg. We all should be delighted with the return
of Adam Frazier and the addition of Tommy Pham.

That sounds exactly like something they’d do.

I heard they signed Walter Johnson and Goose Goslin to contracts.
