OK, so, four hours into the season, and they're 0-1. Not an auspicious start, letmetellya.

BUT I DO NOT CARE. I am still going to cheer on my Pirates like a motherfucker. Whether we suck like two-dollar whores or no.

LET'S GO BUCS!

.... Yes. That's a cookie with an eye patch. Non-Pennsylvanians miss all kind of fun things like Eat 'n Park,

Bucs? I thought they were Pirates?!? First PNC Park now this?

Bucs == Buccaneers == Pirates. It's a nickname. :)
(Plus, it really helps cheers and things to be able to shorten the name to one syllable.)

Similarly, I grew up in Baltimore, where people rarely ever call the baseball team "Orioles" -- they're always "the Os" or "the Birds".

(Side note -- if you're ever at an Orioles game, the entire crowd joins in for the "O!" near the end of the National Anthem ("Oh say does that star-spangled...").)

That is just fucking weird.

I submit to the committee that the aforementioned practice demonstrates a statistically significant decrease in weirdness when compared with similar so-called "team spirit" rituals observed at other sporting events, such as wearing obscene amounts of body paint and no shirt, or wearing big-ass hunks o' CHEESE on one's head, or the reasonably offensive "Tomahawk Chop".

Actually, they only wrote "Arg!" on one of the boxes -- I just made sure to grab that one. :)

And that is why you rock.

Ah, but you don't have a cookie. How can your precious Sox repeat their victory if they don't have a symbolic COOKIE!?
