Ultimate goal is to win the World Series, we fell short. Still think we were much better then mediocre 4 of the last 5 years.
College football has a reasonable postseason, baseball doesn't. Having a good year then winning a bowl game is enjoyable. Watching baseball all summer then ending up in a wild card game is ridiculous. I'll pass, Nutting doesn't spend enough to win a pennant.
Agreed. Nothing fun about golfing in flurries sounds fun. I like golf in overcast with light rain, keeps the old heads off the course and allows for a 2 1/2 hour round. But this weather? Screw that noise.
In other words, you've created your own reality that runs counter to what the rest of the world believes so as to enjoy your Pittsburgh sporting experience....
As is your right. You even have the right to post in every pirate thread how you aren’t rooting for them and hate ownership and can add in the obligatory statement how you were always a fan but no more. I mean, those posters are painfully annoying, nothing more than a troll with the sole intent to ruin everyone’s good mood but this is your right.
GOOD! FINALLY a hateful reaction to Nutting not spending! I don't care if they win 90 and get into the wild card game, THAT'S A FAILURE, because all it means is maybe they could of won 100 if they had spent big money the winter after winning 98 like you're supposed to. For a crappy small market team, that is when you spend and they didn't so F'em, glad people aren't going. Baseball is the worst sport anyways, boring as hell.
Yeah yeah, you are from Europe and you hate American culture, we get it. We’ve heard it before. Yet you still call it your home so must not be too bad.
Baseball is the National Pastime...
You mean like Gerrit Cole?? His best years are ahead of him, he could win the AL Cy Young this year
golf is down, has to be. im talking like the last 5-10 years. I drive by courses all the time and see no one playing. I haven't seen a golfer on South Hills golf course in like 5 years, the one in Baldwin. even south park municipal course, I don't see anyone playing. this course, I used to go out on sunday in high school and play it, it would be a 6 hour round there were so many damn people playing on this course and now, I drive by on a Saturday at noon in the summer and I may see a few people but that's it.
no, I don't mean like him, I said Cutch, not Cole. definitely would have liked to have Gerrit cole on our roster, he's a head case but he's got "ace" stuff..
Your no more of a super fan than anyone else. I hate people that get on here and "brag" about how much of a fan they are. Quite frankly I could care less about you and wife and if your a fan or not. Don't tell me I am not a fan because I dont' sit in 40 degree weather.
Bet that...stopped playing long ago when rounds started going over 5 hours...can’t do that on a weekend when door to door it can be 6 plus hours and you have a family....
I understand your point and I am not so jaded as to discount completely regular season results ..... at some point, however, when a team keeps bumping its head against the same ceiling, as a fan I don’t believe it’s either unusual or unreasonable to want and expect your team to take the next step, and I believe that more often than not, consistent regular season success and post season failure indicates a team/ program has a problem whether it be talent or coaching. As s fan of such a team, you expect the team to address that problem.... that’s why sports are competitive endeavors ...it’s ultimately about striving to be the best
The Pirates can go 9-3 and still get the tire bowl 3 years in a row. Major difference. Being a Pitt fan is tougher than most P5 schools, it does not take a rocket scientist to figure that out. It doesn't mean we have to be slaphappy pirates regular season junkies.
That's fine this will be my last post in a baseball thread snowflake. Where did you see that I wasn't rooting for them? I said I'd watch the wild card game.
I have found following Pitt sports exceedingly frustrating....if people like me weren’t loyal, Pitt would have no fans.
'not cool enough' classic boomer nonsense
I’d quit following any team I didn’t think was capable of winning a championship... I’d go bowling or play bocci instead...your view of Pitt is BS!
amen to all of this.. dude's playing in jean shorts, holding a can of beer, lining up their putt like it's the masters, lol. because if he misses it, he'll shoot a 103 instead of a 102, better take your time. I just saw you pick up your ball out of the sand trap and throw it in the grass, and NOW you are going to line up a putt like it's important?
It was a great day to pay Nutting, and I did. Good enough snow. No lift lines. No lift stoppages. Reduced prices. Simply magnificent. Surprised you weren’t doing the same.
no it's not, its realistic. pitt isnt' winning a NC in football in my lifetime, im 41.. I know this, accept it, and am fine with it.. I want to compete in ACC, hopefully get 1 ACC championship game per decade, that's my goal for pitt football.
