More things that could be worse than being a Pirates fan

Seriously, we've had an ugly year here in Pittsburgh as baseball fans. They played with our minds a little early on, then stomped on our hearts again. And yet, things could be a lot worse off. I mean, this is bad. Not only does Raffy fail a steroid test, lie about it repeatedly, now he throws a teammate under a bus. People called Giles and Kendall "cancers" but I'm pretty sure this defines the word. After he failed that test it seemed like there was a movement in the media that was going to still get him in the Hall of Fame (the "well Bonds is gonna get in so how can we not put Raffy in" sentiment). Now there's just things like this and this. This could be the ugliest ending to a career since... well, I'll just say ever.
