Now, to the links! I'm not sure I can possible remember all of the ones I want to put in here, but I'm going to try.

Tim list 100 moments from the streak. I'll just tell you to click the link and let it stand for itself. 

Dom Cosentino at Deadspin, who's been a great friend to WHYGAVS since he started writing for Deadspin, recounted "every shitty thing that happened to the Pirates" from the streak. 

Sean Gentile, who's the hockey writer for the Sporting News, has a great column about what the end of the streak means to him.

Here are Charlie's thoughts on the streak at Bucs Dugout, along with the official announcement that he's writing a book about being a Pirate fan that should be out next spring. Charlie's site started right around the same time that mine did (I think that his first blog launched in the 2004 season, the Bucs Dugout started right around the same time as WHYGAVS at the beginning of 2005) and it's just nuts to think about what things were like when we started, that it took so long to get here, and that we're both somehow still doing this in 2013. 

Here's Rich from This Is Getting Old on 82. 

Brian from Raise the Jolly Roger.

Cory from Three Rivers Burgh Blog, specifically for the line, "I remember all this bullshit and it sucked."
