I ma not a big sports buff, but I am a fan of all the Pittsburg teams. I was wondering how the Pirates (baseball team) are doing this season. Anyone want to fill me in? Thanks!

Well, the Pirates are my home team, and yeah, I have a general idea how they're doing... and it's not very good. I don't know their record off the top of my head, but it's below 500.

They were just swept by the Braves and I believe are recently in last place in the NL Central. I like this team and they seem to have a lot of talent, they just lack middle relievers. I hope they make some moves and get better in the future. McClendon is a good manager and they have a lot of talent!

Weren't they doing well for a while?

Yeah, they started off well and a couple of their players have put together nice hit streaks, including Kenny Lofton. It's just injuries and pitching that's got them down. I look for them to be going strong within the next few seasons though.

Here's an awesome site:

Unfortunately, the pirates are at the bottom of the barrel in the national central division. They're 13 games under .500 and are 10 1/2 behind the central's leaders--Cubs and Astros.

The pirates have been dry for years haven't they? I don't know what their troubles are. I don't follow the team at all.
