So proud of how the Pirates have done this year. It was a long couple of decades.

Not a usual Pirates fan, but it would be good to see them go far. They need to win today...

Considering a bunch of the players are Twins that we would rather see succeed on someone elses team ... GO PIRATES!

My dad is a huge Pirates fan and has been since he was a kid. He still lives about 80 miles from Pittsburgh and works with a lot of Steelers fans. He said that all the Steelers fans have quit talking about the Steelers and only want to talk about the Pirates, even though they were never Pirates fans before.

I've been to a few games in the new ballpark, I hope they do well now that my Indians are done.

Back in 2004 when the Sox finally won there was a groundswell of Sox fans that came out of nowhere- a reporter coined the term Pink Hats to describe them. Winning made it cool to be a sox fan.

I remember watching every pitch of the Pirates last World Series appearance as a 7th grader. And watching them lose to the Braves in the playoffs back when Barry Bonds was normal size.

I did not make it to any games this year, but their ball park is amazing. It is great to see them doing so well against teams with huge stars and huge payrolls.

GO CARDINALS!!! I'm glad to see the Cards in it, because it's been a long year since their last playoff appearance. And a long 2 years since their last World Series Championship. They're due.

As a Reds fan I have to pick the lessor of two evils. So, as hard as it is for me to day, "Go Bucs!" beat those stinking red birds.

Not much longer before game 4 begins. I would love to see the Buccos clean up the division after listening to the rude sports announcers during the first game. It was pretty lop-sided, but how about the announcers displaying good sportsmanship, too?

Go Bucs!!
