    Thought it was an interesting read. http://pitchersandpoets.com/2011/05/11/reluctant-king-by-joe-posnanski/

    change of batting stance? seriously, bonds was an awesome hitter who became ridiculous after pumping his body full of juice. bautista was a mediocre player who has become terrific. steroids don't make lousy players become good; obviously there's something more than "oh look he's obviously juicing" at play here. I could see a change in mechanics accounting for some increase in power. Going from mid-teens in homers to mid-50's? I'm just saying it's suspicious. You might be surprised to learn that many of us Pittsburgh fans were suspicious. Dejan Kovacevic of the Post Gazette has said he's not surprised to see the increase, in that the power was always there, but the mechanics were a mess. Now, granted, he never said he imagined a 50HR season, but thought he should have been in the mid 30s every year.

    Well, whatever; he lost a [expletive]-ton of money because of Madoff. Actually, if the stories are true the Wilpons made money with Madoff and may have helpd perpatrate the scam so he could get cash from banks. But he ultimately lost around $700 million, right?

    Generally, I take articles like this with a grain of salt. It doesn't mention the terms of the debt. Think about a mortgage. In the grand scheme of my income, my mortgage looks insurmountable. Until you look at the payments in terms of 30 years, then it's not so bad. Also, how much of the debt is tied into the new stadium? The start up of the TV network? And speaking of the TV network, will they make enough money from that to cover losses from the team? The article is too vague, to really know the state of the team. Obviously, they're in trouble irrespective of Madoff, but we don't really know how bad it is based on this article.

    Hahahah, is this true? Yes, it's in the article. Hilarious. Bobby Bonilla was washed up when I was like 9. That's why they owe him money. I forget the exact details, but they cut some years off of his contract to make him tradable, in return for these future payments.

    Letting Ronnie Cedeno hit = Concession.

    They just announced cramps. Meanwhile, Cedeno has walked more times this series than all of last year.
  19. Jake
    So he's not hurt? Just cramps? The Pittsburgh broadcasters weren't sure.

    The Legend!

    We did, but he's actually become pretty good. When you creamed him, he was a rule 5 guy who had never pitched above AA ball. Last year he was a legit all star.

    What did I miss while my 10 year old was having a tantrum?

    Are there no Pirates forums on the web? Honestly just curious There are, indeed. Second question... why are your announcers so dull? The team is. They fit the profile.
