It has been 16 years since the Pittsburgh Pirates have had a winning season. The last time was in 1992 when I was five years old. Mark Whalberg was still Marky Mark and the Power Rangers were to debut on TV in a year. That was with the pre-soap opera Bonds who played with a wealth of talent around him on a team led by the great Jim Leyland.
I was eight years old when the Philadelphia Phillies last made it to the World Series. I was so excited as I anxiously waited for the first pitch of the first game of the series.
I’ve done it. With the Pittsburgh Pirates rounding up year 16 of their rebuilding plan, I’ve decided to hop on the bandwagon of the Tampa Bay Rays.

Phillies-team of mystery and inconsistency
By Zack Tertel on September 4, 2008
Who are these people? Those guys that have been wearing the jerseys that say “Phillies” on the front all summer.
I have watched this team take the field almost daily this season. This is a team that I considered the favorite to win the National League East from spring training and assumed that would be the case.
