Whelp, the Pirates got no-hit by Homer Bailey and sealed another losing season over the weekend.
Enjoy Doug Drabek’s mustache, remaining Bucco fans who haven’t jumped off of the Fort Pitt Bridge.

The Kid.
Fun fact, I own this card and actually wrote Griffey’s rookie year stats into the grid on the back. Great job!
Thanks to Griffey, this game exists.
Hunter S. Thompson+Baseball-Drugs= Kent Tukelve
Sandy Alomar Jr. played 20 years in the Majors… I’d say Topps was 50% right about him being a “Future Star.”
He did hit a massive home run off of Mariano Rivera in the 1997 ALDS. Oh, the days of the five-game ALDS!
Recently, the Friars donned these classic uniforms in a game against the Mets. What a great look.
Glenn Davis, the only offensive player on the Astros who isn’t worse than Rob Wilfong in “RBI Baseball.”
His real-life career came to a pretty ignoble at the hands of Johnny Oates.
“Stormin’ Gorman” looks like a cross between Jeff Fisher and a Confederate (he hails from South Carolina) Civil War general.
Best known as a Brewer, patrolling center field at County Stadium during the Harvey’s Wallbangers era, Thomas slammed 268 career home runs.
All while rocking one of the iconic mullet-mustache combos of the 1980s.
Things used to be a lot easier for Ozzie Guillen.
He was a slick-fielding shortstop that won the 1985 AL Rookie of the Year award, all while sporting arguably the best uniform of the 1980s (see above).
He won a World Series in 2005 with his beloved Pale Hose, sticking it to their bitter crosstown cosmopolitan rivals, the Cubs.
Then he broke his contract, took the money and absconded to Miami, where the smear of the loathsome Jeffrey Loria tainted Ozzie’s passion for baseball into something more closely resembling zealotry.
After the Castro comments, taking potshots at Bryce Harper and failing to get through to Hanley Ramirez, Ozzie’s Florida Miami career is off to a woozy start.
“Major League” has been in heavy rotation on HBO recently.
In honor of this joyous occasion, here’s Pete Vuckovich — who portrayed douchey New York Yankee slugger Clu Haywood.
He was last seen being unable to throw out Willie Mays Hayes at the plate on Jake Taylor’s notorious bunt single.
