Should We All Boycott the Pittsburgh Pirates?

Boycott the Pittsburgh Pirates group on Facebook

Accept or decline the invitation to boycott the Buccos?

Boring Pittsburgh was invited to a Facebook group called “Boycott the Pittsburgh Pirates“. We thought it was a joke at first – or an attempt at revenge by the fired Pierogie mascot… but after reading the wall posts, it was clear that these were some pissed off fans. While the boycott doesn’t appear to be a successful one yet, they’re doing their best to get the point across…

Pittsburgh Pirates Biggest Losers

The Pittsburgh Pirates scored their biggest loss in the team’s history! In other words, out of 124 years of losses, today was their worst. They broke their own record – and they did it on home grass to make matters worse. They haven’t lost this bad since being whooped by the Cincinnati Reds back in 1955. The Brewers made them rethink whether they should’ve chosen another sport!
