Will they ever win?

I am going to see my hometown Pittsburgh Pirates tonight against the Mets here in New York.  It's not that I don't love the Bucs, but they have lost for 18 straight seasons.  18!!!! Atleast they are consistent huh?  I will go, wear my favorite Bucs tee (a display of all the years of losing records given by Burgh friend Eric), and take some abuse from the Mets fans, whose team is not much better.  But atleast I get to go to an actual baseball game, something I haven't done in about four years.  (The teams have priced me out of the market).  Tomorrow I will fill you in what exactly happened--or in the Pirates' case, didn't happen.
