OT: Everything You Need to Know About the Pittsburgh Pirates

[Jimmy_the_Tongue]

17 consecutive losing seasons.....the most in any of the 4 major sports....and no light at the the end of the tunnel....and this is what they are worried about.....

"Frustrated fans pleading for something -- anything -- to be done to stop the Pirates' losing ways are likely to find little to cheer about in the baseball team's latest move.

They fired a pierogi.

Andrew Kurtz, 24, of New Brighton, one of the 18 men who take turns posing as pierogies in a crowd-pleasing race after the fifth inning of every game at PNC Park, was dismissed by the team Thursday because he posted disparaging remarks about the Pirates on his Facebook page.

"My son always was a big Pirates fan," said his mother, Mary Kurtz. "He took pride in being a pierogi runner. Since when, in this country, are you not allowed to state an opinion? Well, here is my opinion: The Pirates came through again and let go one of their biggest fans and dedicated workers."



Here is a pic of the offensive pierogi

That's terrible. I think I'm going to see a game there this summer. Looking forward to seeing the racing peirogies. In DC, these guys race...

I like the races too, but I would like to see more physical contact between them as they run past each other. Ya know...something along the lines of an elbow shiver or a two handed push/trip.

"Randall Simon took a swing at the Italian Sausage," made me laugh.

Is it kosher to quote myself? Oh well, I did it anyway.

I'm pretty sure that sausage incident was the only contact he made all night.
