Ok, let’s play some catch up. This whole “real life” thing is really a pain in the ass. We’re going to push Boise St. until closer to game time. Up now: East Carolina.
We have documented before our reasons to hate ECU. Oh, wait. We don’t really have anything against them? Oh...
Even though we they beat us two years ago, we hold more hatred towards the misuse of timeouts and deplorable play calling. They also went on to beat WVU that year, which made us pretty darn happy.
So I guess the worst thing I can say about them is that they are the Pirates. And good lord, do I hate any team named the Pirates.
Would you like to know why??? Of course you would.
As the Northerner documented last week, it’s been 18 years since my favorite baseball team had a winning season. College freshmen have never seen the Pirates win 82 games in a season.
And this isn’t some shitty expansion team either. They’ve won 5 World Series, which ties them for 6th all-time. In 1991, they had the starting outfield in the All-Star Game. This is… well, WAS a great franchise with a rabid following.
Look, I’m not asking for much. I know we can’t consistently compete with the Yankees every year. But holy lord, just one winning season? Please? Give me some kind of hope!
I don’t exactly know what the problem is, but I’m sure if your team has ever done something wrong, the Pirates have done it wrong twice as often and twice as bad.
The Pittsburgh Pirates have ruined the sport of baseball for a guy that LOVED the game as a kid.They should be ashamed.
And that is why I hate East Carolina.
