Arrrrgh. Angry Pirates. Fans.

Some pissed-off Pirate Fans are mad as hell, and... well, they probably don't have any choice but to continue taking it. They can start a website and a club, though, to band together and express their anger with Pirates management. It's at IrateFans.com, which is PirateFans.com, without the P. Get it? Clever.

And hey, it's hard not to feel for them. It's one thing to suck, but it's quite another to not have any ambition to ever get past that. Looking back, building PNC Park was sort of pointless... the team could've sucked just as thoroughly in Three Rivers. At least then, they had an excuse. I just hope that the pierogies that race gleefully between innings don't get caught up in the ugliness. It's always the children who suffer.

If you care at all about the Pirates, I encourage you to give the site a look. They put more effort into their mission statement alone than I have into just about anything I've ever done. So stop by, have a look, buy a t-shirt, or say something profane about Kevin McClatchy on the message boards.
