The Unofficial Pittsburgh Pirates Message Board

In fairness, that comment can strike in both directions. One can easily argue that every person who follows a team that has had a track record of poor showings enjoys the negativity. Over the past 30 years or so, the club's performance has been unimpressive more often than not. People have said as m...

I doubt that Shed enjoys seeing the team lose. I know him well enough. He certainly acts like someone who does. Probably better to let him answer for himself, but my guess is that what he enjoys is people getting overly-excited prematurely (as in April.) We haven't reached 40% of the season. He sti...

It sucks to lose a series to a team like the A's, but it happens. A team like the A's? Heck, we're one ourselves....except we're like the A's only half the time. Seriously, though- the Bucs appear to be one of those Jekyll/Hyde-type clubs- We're good enough to beat clubs widely considered to be bet...

Bucs most definitely on fire!

Safe to say that the Cards and A's aren't.

Leads to as many questions aa answers. I won't go there. I'll just say that I don't want anything to do with raccoons. Not a thing. I sure hope that they can find what will help her- and, soon.

I cringe when Tampa makes trades. Their GMs have been cold-blooded thieves, as we know. If they dump a first-rounder, he's a Trojan horse.

Addition by subtraction. So much for Stephenson. Hope he succeeds except when he goes against us.

Who currently leads the club in OBP? My nominee for CPOY. That's who.

You caught me. You're correct. Absolutely not limited to baseball.

Brady or Belichek

LBJ or a number of guys

For a time, Jack or Tiger. Women did him in. Shoulda stuck with golf.

I think bars & restaurants would go under if not for sports.

Well, maybe not bars.

Not half bad for a guy who's washed up, over the hill, past his prime, and was brought back just for ticket sales. I'll take him over guys who are in their prime like Ke'Bryan Hayes, and Austin Hedges. Good job by BOB for bringing him back. Maybe we should sign Andy Mack to a long-term extension. 3,...

I dnk whether you're going to take home the bacon, PH, but I have to admit- your post says it all. Like I always say- baseball was invented for arguments. If it wasn't for baseball, we'd have to find other people to argue with, like the wife, the boss, the bill collector, and everybody would have to...

I doubt that Shed enjoys seeing the team lose. I know him well enough.

He's frustrated.

I would think that most Pirates fans of a certain time period are. If not, we should be.

I'll leave it at that.

He's one dimensional, and the wrong dimension.

He is no Arenado.

This was a bad read by Cherington. Now, we're stuck with him unless we package him with someone else.

Hayes was probably thinking, "Great. That GreenWeenie guy's gonna get on my ass in about two minutes."

Hayes- Ofer five and four ks.

I'll give the thumbs down to Shelton for not batting him eighth. Probably should for having him bat at all.

April. Career month.
