Winter Trade means one thing: New Pirates!

And Pirates leaving. Reds trade Casey to Pirates for left-hander WilliamsThoughts, responses, ideas? Personally I couldn't be any more impartial to it. I never really cared much for Williams, but at the same time I didn't necessarily dislike him. But Sean Casey could be of help to us, so why not, eh? ( Read more... )

Jim Tracy??? They couldn't find anyone better than him??

What changes will the off-season bring? Anyone have any ideas?
Personally, now that Tampa Bay is done with him, I'd love to see the Pirates pursue Pinella. He seems like he'd be a good match for the "youngsters" we have.
What do you think??

I figure Pittsburgh is a good place to overhear someone saying something interesting/crazy/funny, so I thought I would let everyone know about Overheard in Pittsburgh.

If you overhear anything interesting - on the street, in class, on the bus - pass it along to me with a brief description of the people involved at overheardinpgh@gmail.com.In ( Read more... )

( Pirates Fire McClendon )

Guess it was all in due time.

Anyone else kinda disappointed with the lack of trade deadline deals? Who is this Jody Gerut guy? Everything I read about the trade normally just talks about Lawton & I already know about him. I just hope this Gerut guy is a smarter base runner & a better fielder than Lawton.

I live in Portland now, and watched this guy play - he's a 3B-SS with good power and a decent glove. He hasn't played the outfield, so I won't compare him to Rob Mackowiak, although he's the same type of hitter.

The Beavers will be helped by Ross; they've had a horrible time getting any production from their catchers.

Here in the Los Angeles area, I have heard a rumor or two about a Pirate pitcher possibly being traded to the Angels. Are any of you guys hearing rumors? I thought the GM had decided not to butcher the Pirates this year by giving away players.

What's going on, Bucs fans??

Hey guys, i know this is for the pirates, but, seeing as you are all my fellow fans, i am praying someone out there will be willing to help me ( Read more... )

Anyone watch the all star game and get disappointed because they never played Jason Bay. I know he was chosen just because a pirate had to be represented but Jason Bay was rookie of the year last year.

Anyone think it was because of Tony Larossa hating Mcclendon?

I wish Bay would have had a bat or even an inning in the field!
