Pirates in world Series – Don't bet on it

A great note from Associated Press writer Ronald Blum at the Winter Meetings, which are being held at the Bellagio Hotel.

Inside of the Bellagio Race and Sports Book, the team names are listed for odds to bet on who will win the 2009 World Series. Boston and the Chicago Cubs are the early favorites at 5-1, followed by the Yankees and L.A. Angels at 6-1.

Twenty six teams are listed on the board, four are not – San Diego, Washingotn, Kansas City and, you guessed it, Pittsburgh.

Apparently, the Pirates are such a longshot, they don't even count.
