dollars 2 donuts Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) I researched this a couple of years ago, but I haven't necessarily kept track so please forgive me if I am off by a team or two. Last year the Baltimore Orioles made MLB's post season and the Florida Panthers did, as well in the NHL. The Pittsburgh Pirates were 51-30 at the halfway point of this season and if they get into the playoffs this year it will be their first trip there since 1991, I believe. Meaning, if my memory serves me, that the Pirates will be the last major professional American sports franchise to make their sport's playoffs since the Bills last made it in 1999. ...further meaning all 121 other pro sports teams have done in the last 14 years what the Bills have failed to do. Again, I could be wrong. It has nothing to do with the upcoming season and no rip on the franchise here. Just an annoying little anomaly that I hope comes to an end soon. GO BILLS!

ny33 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 The Blue Jays haven't made the playoffs for nineteen seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glory Bound Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I'm from the Buffalo area originally, & I now live in Steelers country. I love my Bills, & I have Bucco fever! Nothing would please me more then to see the playoff drought end for my two favorite franchises! Yank down the goal posts & raise the Jolly Roger on 2013!

jimmyjack88 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I have been a fan of both since 1979. The last time the Bucs won the whole thing. This is the year BOTH turn it all around. Pirates go for 10 in a row tonight. Can 't wait to knock Brady and BB off their high horse in Sept. GO BUCS GO BILLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Go Buccos!!! Pretty much impossible to not root for the Bucs tonight. I remember pulling for them in 1979: We Are Family! I haven't watched a baseball game all season but I still love the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollars 2 donuts Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Unreal win. Stadium was electric. Honestly, that stuff last night just makes ya feel good. I know there is a crossover of fans with the Steelers and Pens who have been very fortunate with their teams' success...but for Pirates fans...all those years...man, good for you guys.
