I'm just bitter. Baseball was my favorite sport and I played from pre-K to 9th grade. Watching those early late 90's, early 2000's teams killed any enthusiasm I had for the Pirates. Hard to root for a team that doesn't put any effort into building a contender.

I was right there with ya...but things are way different now with the buccos. I think they've found their strategic niche organizationally. The team has been great the past few years. Their player development is proven and their system is stocked with prospects. No, we'll never sign the big name pitcher or slugger in the off season...nor will we be able to retain top talent into their 30s. I wish people would stop expecting that or thinking it's necessary to win. If they stick with what they're doing, they can continue to win every single year...and eventually, who knows...

I root for the pirates and Steelers as of now. And my enthusiasm for the Steelers is nowhere near what it was a decade or so ago...but that's mostly a side effect of my hatred for the nfl.

I'll root for the pens again when Sid and letang are gone.
 
I traded BM+BTGNVP+CCCBBVD for Maman+NdF. Who wants to **** all over me?

Perhaps a good theme for this thread could be what we're drinking during these Pens playoff games (Lord knows watching the Pirates' pitching is gonna drive me to drink through my cellar by the All-Star break).

My choices this evening...





EDIT: Pics not required, but if you want me to take you seriously they're highly recommended. Me so Horny.

Working through the Cycle Weekday series this week.
 
It's been a while since I had the AB version of GNVP, but i thought the BT version on tap was distinctly spicier. Maybe I'll have a chance to rethink that this week.
I opened a BT and AB last weekend. BT was better, but AB was from 2013? I had AB GNVP on tap a couple of years ago at HO1KB, and remember that being amazing.

TLDR - AB and BT GNVP are both awesome, especially when fresh.

Oh, I get hating the Pirates. It is justified. They just rope me in because they have likable players, and playoff baseball is awesome.

(Even if it's one game every year)
