i can't believe this team doesn't have a thread.

snell, gorzelanny, bay, marte's pitching well -- maybe capps'll be special? ... i smell playoffs in a few years.

you pretty much named everyone worth a damn on this team.

If Bay played for NY/Boston he'd be leading MLB in votes for the all-star game.

the only manager in baseball who comes CLOSE to being as big a fucking retard as Grady Little is Jim Tracy

I was waiting until we had one winning season before starting this thread, but that hasn't happened since we began using the internet!

i'm thinking the team is gonna need to get more than 400 people out to some of the weeknight games before they start winning anything, unless they've got some real special talent scouts.

Love the ballpark, the team, meh, but a great place to see a game for sure.

The teams those players will be traded away to in a few years will be smelling playoffs, yes.

Go back to the uniforms from the 70s.

Freddy Guzman is a good young player. Laroche needs to get it going.

This team is terrible, but at least they have pitching to build on. Time to start spending $ on some bats.

GuyAtTheBar: Hey will you turn the TV to 29?...the Pirates are on.

Sam: You wanna watch the Pirates?

GuyAtTheBar: Yea.

Sam: Why?

GuyAtTheBar:

For which Major League team is Pittsburgh a AAA team?

laroche was supposed to be a nice lefthanded power bat in the lineup but so far, not good. i still think he'll get going but i think his new park is less homer friendly than his old one. but yes, they do need a bat.

Heh. They could be the new Expos.
