So here in Pittsburgh sports are pretty big.  The Penguins have 3 cups in 20 years with 5 final appearances.  The Steelers have 2 superbowls and 4 appearance in the past 20 years.  I am 23 so this is somewhat relevant.  The Pirates however, set the record for 20 straight losing series (less than 81 wins, more than 81 losses).  We have the record across EVERY major sport across the world.  So the past 2 years we've done well up to the All Star Game, but then fall off after.  Last year we got to 14 games about .500, then tanked and finished 72-90.  This year we currently stand 1 month after the All Star Game 70-44 12 wins away from breaking the record and 2 games ahead of 2nd place in the MLB.  So this year I've been following baseball exceptionally close, learning a bit about the game and our players and other teams.  I've been to 8 games recently before today, 3 this year and 5 last year.  We've lost every game never scoring a home run.  

 

So that brings me to today.  I went with 3 other people today and I said, if we win I want a walk off.  The excitement in the park with a team this good is amazing and a walk off is something pretty exciting to be a part of.  And today, the Pirates walked it off sweeping the Marlins in a 3 game series with me at the game.  I can finally die happy knowing I completed my goal this year!!!

I always think die-hard sports fans have a funny way of talking about "their team". You used we plenty of times which is interesting :)

 

Always nice to be a part of history!

Awesome! I am a fan of the Steelers. I dont really get to big into football but when I do its the steelers. I was going to Pittsburgh to run a 5k but stuff happened.

Life is pain. Anyone who says any different is either selling something or the government.

Same here, except I root for Detroit. :P My Red Wings and Tigers are still dominating, the Lions are getting better, and the Pistons are also slowly getting better.
