Welcome

I started a small project last year where I compared the 2011 Pittsburgh Pirates record to their previous records from 1992-2010. Since 1992, the Pirates have had a grand total of one winning season. This year, I'll post some occasional updates on how the Pirates are doing compared to their predecessors, because, frankly, this is usually the only way the Pirates look semi-competitive. So here are the June 8th standings heading into Interleague play. The 2012 team looks to be in a bit of pennant race with the 2012 Reds and the 1992 Pirates, both two games ahead.
