I've got a baseball grudge against ESPN. Cardinals were dominating their division for weeks, nary a peep on the opening page of their website. As soon as the Pirates overtook them, it's all Pirates all the time. Yeah, I'm Cardinal biased, but ESPN is anti-Cardinal Nation in my opinion.
ESPN magazine had Pirates Play-off bound on the front cover this week, even though it's a three way battle in the NL Central, including Cincinnati, with all teams having great pitching.
Standing applause for Lefty, BTW. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy!
Pirates winning games--that is DEFINITELY headline breaking news. I believe the Pirates hold the dubious honor of the most consecutive losing seasons in MLB history.
