Lastings Looks Like a Duck

Welcome to ThePieTrainers.blogspot.com! We are four roommates dedicated to blogging about the Pittsburgh Pirates in any capacity possible.  While we are fans of WHYGAVS, BucsDugout, and the numerous other Pirates blogs already in existence (we mentioned those two by name because they're our favorites, we try to be honest around here), we like hearing ourselves talk too so we've created our own.  This being our first post, we aren't really sure what you can expect from us or in the same vein, what we can expect from you.  Being college-aged native sons of Pittsburgh, we've grown up rooting for a perennial loser, but we have rooted for our buccos without fail year after year.  Every year, we can't help but feel this is our year despite all the evidence to the contrary.  Through daily recaps, minor league analysis, and random rants, we hope instill in our readers (thinking somebody will read this may be a little optimistic) the same undying optimism we feel for our team.  It may be ridiculous and irrational, but it makes things so much more fun, so come, join us!

Also, we hate Ryan Braun and Jay Bruce while we love the dying art of the bunt.  Don't ask why, we don't know, we just do.

PS: Boom, Roasted.  (We like quoting shows and movies as well)
