    2011 Bucco's Spring Training

    Might as well start a thread for Spring Training for the Buccos. There will be plenty of reports and videos to post. Here is a video that surely pumped me up for the first day of camp!

    I can't believe that it's already baseball season. The jerseys look new to me too, I'm guessing only a spring training jersey. But once again, we have nothing to look forward to.

    Why I'm glad you asked. They are brand new to Spring training (Batting practice jerseys). I got a sneak peak at them on Sunday. They are available at the Pirate's Majestic store at PNC Park... I'll be getting one..

    Yes. Even though Hurdle gave the speech all the other managers said about a winning attitude and all Im hoping he is the missing piece!

    Sorry guys, but they won't have a winning record, not until that team is bought by someone who actually will do something with it.

    Re: 2011 Bucco's Spring Training

    Hey I love the Pirates just as much as you all. I love the players, the stadium, the hat/uniform, and the history, but with horrible ownership/management, the Pirates will not become anything. You can hire a manager who's been to the World Series, you can sign a couple of good players, but with Nutting, the team won't become anything. The MLB needs to step in and either force Nutting to sell the team or they need to take over for him. It's so frustrating when we're used to winners, like the Steelers, Penguins, and Pitt (football and basketball) or whatever your college is. The Pirates are the biggest joke of Major League Baseball and I'm sick of it. We've had eighteen straight losing seasons, what the fuck? Seriously, we shouldn't have to deal with this bullshit and I want Nutting out and I want a winning baseball team. I hope that we will soon see the MLB step in because I'm also tired about hearing rumors that MLB will step in, do something you idiots. You want to know how you can earn more money and have more competitive teams? Make it more competitive and make more teams better other than the Yankees, Red Soxs, and Phillies.

    I know they probably won't have a wining recored, but I like to live in blissful ignorance at least until 1 month into the season and just enjoy that Pirates baseball is back!

    I liked Meek better as closer, but I expect a strong season from both.
    Pirates pick Hanrahan over Meek as closer

    Hmm I thought they would give them both a chance in Spring Training to earn the spot.

    Re: 2011 Bucco's Spring Training

    No way do you want Meek as a closer. He is not that good with the pressure. Joel will get it done. This is a great move.


    Sdude, We are not supporting Nutting and his guys. We are supporting Pittsburgh, the Pirates history and the love of baseball. If I can't support them now then the last 124 years is for nothing. We have 5 WS and some of the greatest players in history like Wagner (Second only to Babe Ruth), Clemente, Stargell, Parker, Bonds (Even if he is an ahole), Maz and Van Slyke... It's for these guys and what they did for the team, city and us fans..

    This is the closet you can and will get to the players and coaching staff. You can walk right on the practice field with them.

    O don't get me wrong. Like I said, I love the Pirates just as much as anyone else and I've been wearing my Pirates hat all week long now that spring training is here. I also know none of you guys support Nutting as well, we all have stuff in common. I'm in the same boat as you with the history, five time World Series champions, they won twice before there was the World Series, and they have over forty players and managers in the HOF. I love them, I just wish we had a winning team. Anyways, here's a good question for you all. What's everyone's favorite Pirates uniform? Mine would be the 1990 away jersey:


    I would LOVE to have this jersey!

    Yupp love my Pirates as much as my Pens and Steelers, love the stadium and best of all the history! Just can't stand, a true hate for Nutting and can't wait to see this man run out of this city or into the rivers where he belongs!

    So buy it on www.borntradejerseys.com for $25.. I have Andy's jersey from then.

    My favorite is Meek's All-Star jersey.
