And they're at .500! Twenty games into the season! Woo-hoo! :bounce:

1. Isn't that a sign of the apocalype?

:hi:

Oh wait, no, that would be the Royals having a .500 record.

[Richardo]

2. If the Pirates are at .500 at the all-star break, prepare for the rapture.

:thumbsup:

4. no, but the Brewers in 1st place might be.

and they get to play Houston this weekend. should be interesting!

[KitchenWitch]

9. Oh dear!

I guess I should start repenting then!

3. Is it time to dust off the Sister Sledge 45 yet?

:D

[Richardo]

5. As long as we can forego the stripey hats and yellow jerseys, OK

:eyes:
:scared:

6. Didn't the Bucs go back to those recently.

If I recall, I remember seeing Randall Simon wearing one during the infamous Sausage Run incident.

7. Might have been a retro-day kinda thing.

Those unis were the most ill-conceived ever.

8. Ahem.

[KitchenWitch]

10. ding ding ding

Yes, those White Sox uniforms WERE worse.

[Richardo]

11. I stand corrected.

I forgot about the SoxShorts. :blush:

[PRETZEL]

13. anybody but Kris Benson

:)

15. There was not a color photo of Stargell on the first page of Google images.

With both yellow jersey and stripey hat.

12. It's nearly unbelievable, isn't it?

WTF happened to the Astros? Weren't they in the World Series a couple of years ago, or nearly in the World Series?

Go Buccos! :woohoo:

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. I see X Nady's not back in the lineup yet

He's from around here, y'know. I did a story on him when he played high school ball (and hit .618 his senior year).

16. I'm glad for them...

...they're a great team with a great tradition...they deserve a winner there. By the way--anyone noticed just how hard picking their all-time team is? At short, of course you go with Wagner...but you have to leave Vaughan off!!! And who's in left--Kiner, Bonds, or Stargell? And who's in right--Roberto, or Waner? And how about Clarke? Or Giles? And Who's on First?...I don't know...(no--he's on second!)

[Bunny]

17. Good question. Of course, for Catcher, there can be none other than

Manny Sanguillen, the Road Runner himself! He was my very favorite Pirate, especially after Roberto died. :cry:

[Richardo]

18. Me too.

I liked how sometimes he sat flat on his ass behind the plate.
