I have always had a soft spot for Baseball. Back in the days when i worked alot of afters shifts i would watch a hour or so of it on channel 5 after work. (via the pub it has to be said.)
Pittsburgh's baseball side may not be the strongest but i am used to following crap sides (Lincoln for example) but i will be following them closely and keeping you up to date with how they are getting on. They play an awful lot of games, 162 to be precise so there is plenty to keep up with. Last season to be blunt they were crap, finishing bottom of their division with "only" 60 wins. So its safe to say that not alot is expected from the Pittsburgh Pirates this season. I have predicted that they will get 70 wins, my contact in the States say both her and her best friend think they will get 40 wins. The target must be firstly though to get off the bottom of the division. Onwards and upwards as they say.
First match was last night against the LA Dodgers and resulted in a 11-5 win for Pittsburgh. They take on the same side tomorrow and Friday night so we will see if it was a flash in the pan or the real thing.
Oh and i need to say this because it wont last long, as i write this the Pirates have a better record than the Yankees! Can't see that still being the case by the end of the week, but there you go! Another thing you can get an "all you can eat" seat at the Pirates for $17! If thats not good value for money then i dont know what is!
