Pretty extreme with the exception of 2005/2006.
I joined on May 17, 2002 so from May 18 2002- end of the season, I went 54-66 which I'll count towards my career total since I wasn't responsible for that bad start.

- One-time NL Wild Card champion (2003)
- One-time NL East champion (2004)
- 14-time NL Central champion (2009-22)
- Nine-time National League champions (2003, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2020, 2022)
- Five-time IBC champions (2012, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2022)

2,156-1,271 (.629) regular season
88-63 (.582) in the playoffs

Also of note that between 2004-2005 my roster was dismantled.

haha Shawn Green...

Haha yep. Miss the old guy.

Updated with 2010 statistics

Updated to reflect 2011

How did you go from 60 to 113 wins?

I have a how-to book coming out before the spring. I can send you an autographed copy if you'd like?

But really, during those two years where I was awful, I had accumulated a ton of top prospects. Then I just pawned them all off, turned this into that, that into this, and viola. What did I end up trading for Haren -- No. 1, 4 and Holland? Which Hamlin used to take Posey and Ynoa.

I also at one point had Longoria, Tulowitzki, Pence, and Braun. At the same time. And I foolishly dealt Tulowitzki. Longoria I dealt to actually prevent Jag from getting Homer Bailey (whoops), but traded back for him, obviously. Braun I turned into Lincecum, and then I just went from there.

Playing H2H helps a lot, too, since I don't have to rely on the stupid computer manager to pull pitchers or to leave guys in. I think that really does help account for at least 5-10 wins a year, but I could be wrong.

Goes both ways. I know my team has played you tighter in H2H then the computer would have.

Sure, but over the course of the year since I play it so often, I feel like I gain a couple W's because of it.

There's no doubt you gain wins from h2h. I know in 2007 I would've been a 100 win team without h2h, I was 110 with it

Updated, with more to come throughout the winter.

3 pennants in 4 years, what up?

Congrats to Mike Trout for taking home the franchise's first-ever MVP award.

Congrats once again to Mike Trout, who joins the recently-retired Dan Haren as the only Pirate to win end-of-year honors twice. We'll pick a game on the schedule later to honor Trout's MVP performance in 2015 later today. Free Trout MVP bobbleheads for all!
