Ownership Hell

By Jake • May 19th, 2008 • Category: Feature Story

Slice it and dice it any way you want…

and the numbers add up the same.

Kevin McClatchy and Ogden and Robert Nutting

continue to pull the con of cons.

And the fans just keep believing them.

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

No doubt…

Duke=Koufax? Crow vs Alvarez

By Jake • May 13th, 2008 • Category: Feature Story

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.

Bari! Bari!

By Jake • May 8th, 2008 • Category: Feature Story

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

No, not Nuttings.

Aruba’s!

Here’s a few tidbits on current events.

Pulling your hair out watching this team?

Join the crowd.

It’s time to take a break.

Morris dumped like garbage. LaRoche next?

By Jake • Apr 27th, 2008 • Category: Feature Story

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.

What are you waiting for Neal?

By Jake • Apr 24th, 2008 • Category: Feature Story

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.

By Jake • Apr 21st, 2008 • Category: Feature Story

The doorbell rings - you have a package.

You see the packaged is damaged. Do you:

A. Reject the product?
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.

Year of the klutz?

By Jake • Apr 17th, 2008 • Category: Feature Story

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?

I’m not bitter. Are you?

By Jake • Apr 15th, 2008 • Category: Feature Story

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 …
