All things considered.... which of these organizations is the most pathetic?

Orioles, Pirates or Mets????

Le Grande Orange · 10-01-2009, 01:36 PM

Maple Leafs.

Ooops, sorry, wrong sport.

RchW · 10-01-2009, 01:47 PM

The Jays qualify big time.

jbergey22 · 10-01-2009, 02:11 PM

Kansas City, Washington???

I wouldnt have the Mets on this list. They usually field a pretty good product.

Russ · 10-01-2009, 02:15 PM

The O's are going to lose 100 games this year, but their future looks bright. The Pirates farm system is ranked in the bottom third. The Mets could get ugly if the Wilpons are really hurting from the Madoff mess.

I'm going Pirates.

bababui · 10-01-2009, 02:20 PM

The Dodgers if one factors results/resources into the equation.

That is why I said, all things considered... meaning...are the Mets more pathetic than the hapless Pirates because they SHOULD have such a better record?

All things considered the Yankees should win the World Series every year with their payroll

I understand what you mean

TribeFanInNC · 10-01-2009, 08:03 PM

I guess Pittsburgh most fits the pathetic description. Though the Os and Mets and Nats have their share of suckitude also.

yankeesrule · 10-01-2009, 10:57 PM

pirates, easy. something like 17 years w/o a winning season, most of those years w/o any hope of even just breaking even. i dont see how any team can touch that

Raidergoo · 10-01-2009, 11:16 PM

The Mets. All the resources and opportunities the NYC market provides, and how many titles?

Slackker · 10-01-2009, 11:49 PM

I'm not choosing the team with a winning record in 9 of the last 13 seasons, and 3 NLCS appearances (1 WS) in the past decade.

I'm also not choosing the team that has a lot of potential.. for hitters, anyway.

So I'll pick the Pirates, who haven't had a winning season in 17 years - or even a current HOF player on their roster since 1982.

But I'll also say that maybe 25 years from now I could be saying the same things about the Mets.

Well, the Mets had practically the whole 40-man roster on the DL.

So, I'll give them a little slack.

The Pirates have been shattered since Fransico Cabrera's game winning single. There is no light at the end of this tunnel for quite a while.

Unlike the others, they can actually deliver .500 seasons once a generation.

KurtBevacqua · 10-02-2009, 06:48 PM

I'll say the Pirates because at least the Mets and Orioles try. Meanwhile the Pirates seem to be satisfied sucking as long as they can turn a profit.

By now anything higher then sucking is enough to go bankrupt.

And the Orioles try?

They aim higher than .500 in NYC.

bababui · 10-13-2009, 02:34 PM

I guess its time to man up and admit I was wrong. The Raiders are the most pathetic franchise. I dont know where it all went wrong.
