You get on the Pa Turnpike, drive East about 300 miles & you'll find plenty of philly fans 8) Reminds me of a WC Fields quote when facing death by hanging the Hangman asked: "Have you any last wish?" WC replied: "Yes, I'd like to see Paris before I die." (pause) "even Philadelphia will do."

you are the lone ranger for now.

I guess this is a sign of BleacherCoaches branching out eh?

I love the Buccos, and love the Yanks.

I've loved the Buccos since day one, but growing up as a kid in the late 90s and early 2000s the Yankees were the team and thats when i feel in love with them. As for the current Pirates they have the core 4 on offense in McCutchen, Alvarez, Tabata, and Walker and have catcher Tony Sanchez at double a who if hes not a September call up this year he'll be in Pittsburgh next year. For pitching, right now on the big league club they have James MacDonal and Charlie Morton who both have the stuff and natural ability to be very very good starting pitchers if they can put it all together. Also, they have Rudy Owens at triple a and Bryan Morris at double a that should end up very solid big league pitchers in the rotation. And they have two 19 year old studs in a ball in Jameson Taillon and Stetson Allie who Baseball America has as I believe the #11 and #41 overall prospects in all of baseball, both can hit 100 on the gun on a regular basis. Also, last summer they signed 16 year old Luis Heredia who yes is very young but he is one of the most highly touted pitching prospects to ever come out of Latin America.
