Well, they have to do something, because they sure can't put a winning team on the field.

you don't think they'll be better this year (not a winning team, but less bad)? I'm looking forward to trying a pulled pork pierogie sandwich. interestingly, the only way to force the pirates to get better is to show up for games. if attendance goes up, then they can't rely on as much subsidy from mlb

I disagree, I'll go back when I see them making an effort to get talent. I only went to 2 games last year when friends came into town and wanted to see the stadium. Both nights were SRO, the reason: Fireworks!

It stinks to be a baseball fan in this town.

Most experts consider them the worst team in baseball.

Maybe I'm overly-optimistic here, but hey, it's Opening Day - I'm allowed to be: 70-92.

That's a pretty big improvement from last year's 57-105, who knows, at the least the food will be good.

Thanks for reminding me that the Pirates are playing soon! I'm going to buy a pair of tickets for next Saturday night's game. I'm looking forward to some new food options and the post-game fireworks! I'm susrprised tickets are only $24/each for the section I'm looking to have us sit in. Since we can walk back-and-forth to the stadium and avoid transit/parking fees we're looking at a total investment of about $60 for two tickets and food/beverages. Not too shabby. I was expecting to be paying more like $75-$90 altogether.
