Sorry for the brief delay....but BLUFF DIVERS IS BACK IN FULL FORCE....

Sun, Beer, Bad Baseball, and Buds....Its got to be Bucco Opening day. With that being said, let me give our mulleted millvale brethren some answers to their concerns about me and how I roll at openers.

Sun, Beer, Bad Baseball, and Buds....Its got to be Bucco Opening day. With that being said, let me give our mulleted millvale brethren some answers to their concerns about me and how I roll at openers.
1) Yes I am wearing a Red Sox jersey. Yes they are the best team in baseball this decade. Go suck on a lemon losers.
2) Yes I am from Pittsburgh. I know you never passed geography class, or even no what geography is, but the last time I checked Greenfield was a suburb IN the city!
3) Yes I am an actual Red Sox FAN....pretty much since birth. Liked Marty Barret just as much as Dustin Pedroia! I am willing to bet that I know more about Red Sox baseball than you do about your beloved Stillers, Buccos, and Pens N' At combined. BTW you mustache sporting, cowher loving bandwagon idiots couldn't pack 3 rivers for baseball playoff games. With fans like that, who needs enemies?
4) No I don't like the Patriots. I don't like the Steelers or the NFL either butt munches. Its one step above studio wrestling. I am wearing a Dukes hat.
5) Yes I attend more Pirate games in a year than most will in their lifetime (I am not afraid to leave my neighborhood or town more than twice a year like most yinzers). I think this gives me a right to wear whatever the hell I want to the games. Also, if the Pirates ever get good, by the way the FREAKING DUQUESNE DUKES HAD A WINNING RECORD, you can all kiss my ass for not going to games other than on bobblehead nights or opening day. Or if Foghat is playing an hour set before the game. Or Styx. Or Charlie Daniels. Or the Clarks. Or the Country Clarks (aka Poverty Neck Hillibillies). Or Donnie Iris. Or Joe Grusheky.
Side Note: The words "Donnie Iris" and "Internationally renowned recording artist" should never be mentioned in the same sentence. Ever.

6) I also am a Duquesne Dukes season ticket holder of 20 plus years. That should allow me to go to all sporting events wearing nothing but black tube socks and a smile if I want to.
Special Thanks to all those who started the "Lets Go Dukes" cheer in the outfield. 2008 baby! Tourney Time! Couple of Diaper Dandies coming in!

7) The Red Sox DO NOT have the highest, second highest, or third highest payroll in baseball. After this year when they dump Schilling they may drop out of the top ten. They have signed players like David Ortiz and Cocoa Crisp for nothing and Pedroia, Papelbon, Youkilis, Buckholtz, Ellsbury, and Varitek (via trade) are all products of their minor league system or smart front office decisions. Pirate fans get this straight, YOUR ENTIRE ORGANIZATION SUCKS AND THEY DONT CARE ABOUT WINNING. You sign Pat Meares, Derrick Bell, KY (not the gel) long term, and develop studs such as JJ Davis and Tike "where is my rental car" Redman. Lick my balls.
8) You know NOTHING about baseball if you boo ARAM and call him a traitor. Please go directly home and put on your back up set of Zubaz immediately. BTW I have never really seen before or since a pre-emptive salary dump since ARAM. Unbelievable.
9) Did I mention that the words "Donnie Iris" and "Internationally renowned recording artist" should never be mentioned in the same sentence. It made my skin crawl to write that again but I wanted to get my point across.
10) Learn how to handle you beer and heckle. Nothing is worse than a bad sports heckler. Nothing is worse than the "fans" in this fricking town.

You like the Steelers, you have the Nate Washington jersey to prove it
As a life-long hockey fan, couldn't agree more with your take on the typical picksburgh fan. Stiller/Penguin bandwagoners have a brief respite from having to root for the Pens today as the Steeler schedule came out. Today's activities have been for them to predict the Steeler record as they go through the schedule. Apparently, by the time they meet the Pats in late November, they will be 8-2..."theoretically".
My all-time favorite was when I heard one of these pseudo-fans call a "fawl-start" on a busted face-off at a game this year. I guess that is a five-yard penalty.
You need to have a contest to find a name for "these" types of Pittsburgh Sports Fans.
Pitt Panthers - National Champs 2009!
I take it you got heckled for the Sox jersey? I can't really blame the people who heckled you, there are so many bandwagon Red Sox fans out there that give real Sox fans a bad name. The fact that you mentioned Marty Barrett immedietly puts way ahead of most people who wear Sox gear. Being a regular reader of this blog I am sure you are also familar with other lesser known Sox like Jody Reed and Spike Owen and thus qualify as a real Red Sox fan.
Face it, the Red Sox are the trendy team and it's hard to tell the difference between a real fan and the guys who just wear Sox hats because they think it's cool. When I get drunk I'll sometimes approach a guy wearing a Sox hat and ask him to name their starting rotation, or 3 players in their bullpen, and then I'll laugh when they flounder and ask me if Mo Vaughn still plays for the Sox.
While I agree with you that there are many red sox bandwagoneers...I think its a travesty that a) anyone would ever heckle someone for wearing a Jason Varitek jersey anywhere (2004 champs addition) and b) "pirates fans" feel the right to heckle anyone... Being the editor of two dukes related websites, you would have been awfully proud of our group of 20 or so people and the "lets go dukes" chant started in the centerfield bleachers!!!
edition...brain fart...oh yeah...and anyone pittsburgher who considers themselves a "fan" of any team in any sport needs to attend a game at fenway... or even busch stadium (and i hate the cardinals)
If the Pirates had half the success of the Red Sox or the Cards I would expect fans at PNC to be louder and more knowledgable about their team, but considering the Pirates are so horrible I am impressed people actually show up and cheer at all.
Pens fans are the absolute worst. Arguably the least knowledgable fans in all sports.
