I think it’s time we stop -
Hey! What’s that sound?
Everybody look
What’s going down.

No doubt…

.

Bucs win a six-pack worth of games…

and the fans are starting to think .500 again.

But don’t choke on your brew waiting for it.

.

A peek into a different kind of “Green” edition.

No, not Nuttings.

Aruba’s!

Here’s a few tidbits on current events.

Bari?

It means “sweep” in some language used here.

.

Pulling your hair out watching this team?

Join the crowd.

It’s time to take a break.

.

The Pirates released Matt Morris and replaced him with Phil Dumatrait…

Who has never seen the 19th out, never made it through the third time in a lineup, and never pitched more than 6 MLB innings.

Neal Huntington made a decision back in February to shut down Tom Gorzelanny who had come up with shoulder tenderness before his first scheduled start of the spring.

Back then Huntington explained his reasoning by asking a question: “Why? Why start him now rather than letting him have a chance to rest?”

Pirates players now join the fans asking Huntington the exact same question: Why? Why continue to run Gorzelanny out every five days?

It’s a legitimate question and one Huntington better think carefully about before he answers.

Or he just might end up with a lot more problems than he could ever expect.

B. Inspect the product and, if ok, accept it?
C. Accept it then call for credit if damaged?
D. Accept it unconditionally?

Your answer might explain why the Pirates continue to be a losing franchise.

What the heck is going on?

Lazy play, poor attitudes, no accountability.

Pride is quickly becoming a non-issue.

Who is going to step up and take control?

And when?

Hey OHHHHHH BAHHHH ma - I’M not bitter.

In fact, nobody I know that packs a gun is bitter, or anyone at my church, or anyone I know who is unemployed.

But I have seen someone who does seem bitter, someone who has religion, someone who is apathetic. You know, it’s …

Got swept last series, but didn’t shed tearies.

We played poor, but the Reds errored more.

Our clutch popped a bit, but they couldn’t find it.

But one thing’s for sure, in a pitcher’s duel,

Throw a southpaw at ‘em, because they rule.

Bucs sweep!

Bucs Sweep!
