Come, let us celebrate the misery of the Pirates

Being that we're still in our mid-20's, our earliest tangible memories of the game of baseball are the time we accidentally hit our catcher in the teeth with an aluminum bat and the early-90s wars waged between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Atlanta Braves. Doug Drabek. Sid Bream. MLB playoff commercials on CBS that actually made you think, "Holy shit. I HAVE to see this game." For our money, this was baseball at its finest - and the Cardinals weren't even all that good. To help us remember just how old we are now, the writers at Bugs and Cranks have created a video commemorating how much our world has changed since the Pirates last had a winner.

Thanks to Deadspin for the link. And, as always, we blame Barry Bonds.
