10 years later, this still brings me to tears.

PNC was absolutely Lit! One of the funnest games to watch! Sure hoping they can get back. There are definitely bright spots. This was a decent re-building year. Let's show more progress in 24 and I think by 25 they should seriously contend for a playoff spot

Unfortunately, losing to the Pirates, a team from Pittsburgh in the MLB postseason, isn't acceptable in Cincinnati and it ultimately cost Dusty his job as Reds manager!!!

I PROMISE NOBODY WOULD WANNA PLAY IN PITTSBURGH FOR A WORLD SERIES WE ARE THE BEST CITY

[MateoKalifas]

Even as a giants fan I was rooting for them.

This feels like ages ago. I miss winning baseball. But with Huntington and Hurdle back fro another four years, won't be nothing but losing baseball for a long time of the Pirates.

10 years ago almost..let's hope we don't have to wait another 11...

[raptorspostgametalk]

[grandslam]

This might as well been game 7 of the World Series for Pittsburgh

[JamesKirby]

I have had first comment for a lot of these videos! WAIT, ARE YOU LEBRON JAMES? Thanks for the championship last year!!!

[danielcorreard]

this is the last playoff series the pirates will ever win at least while buffoon Cherington is the gm even though the majority of pirates fans what to induct him in to the hall of fame even though he is destroying this team making it worse with his salary dump
