    Pirates

    Jake replied to C.C.'s topic in General Baseball Talk

    Why? They're not any good now, their farm system is in the bottom 3rd of baseball and their ownership doesn't spend money. Good for them that somehow Maholm and Karstens have insanely outpitched their peripherals, but it's not going to hold up. I just love myopic opinions like this. yeah that was a pretty bad post by the cow. Alright, let's just say that the Pirates have a whole lot more in common with the 2003 Royals than they do with with the recent Rays, Reds, Brewers, etc. Why ?

    I think I'll jump on the bandwagon.

    Personally, I thought it was great. We're watching it in the context of a snapshot. What lead up to the call? We're missing the energy that lead up to it. Look at how the fans were on their feet. before the pitch. We didn't see the previous batter, or any batter that inning. We didn't even see previous pitches. We're going in cold. The scene was not set. BTW, the outcome of that HR is the Pirates are in first place.

    Radio or TV ? TV Bob Walk. Greg Brown is the play by play. Unless I'm confusing them. Which is possible - they're equally annoying. Root Sports is the new broadcaster, taking over from Fox sports, and all of the announcers seem to be more Rah Rah this season. (Same guys as last year) I was never a fan of walk and brown, and this year I like them even less. Why does he seem to hate the Cubs? He's like this against any opponent. Mostly, I tune these guys out. The rotation is such that the play by play guys switch between radio and TV one night, the color guys the next night. Tim Neveret (sp?) is the other play by play guy, he's descent. Steve Blass does color at home games, The Rock (Whener) does color on the road. Brown and Walk are the only combo I can't stand.

    We're doing it all with ridiculously good pitching and ridiculously good fielding. I can't explain it. Not going to try. Just enjoying the ride.

    Active thread, I see.

    What happened in his next at bat ?

    Selig should force you guys to trade Soriano to the Pirates for a bad back and a bunch of strike outs. Or Garret Jones.
  14. Jake
    Yes. They activated Zach Duke. Everything changes now.

    Read the whole article. Don't take a sentence out of context.

    Ironically, while we're having this conversation, Dan Moskos was brought up today when Beimel went on the DL

    Begins June 6th. Considering this game is not worth talking about, anyone want to make predictions on who the Cubs will take and how outraged everyone will be when they make that selection? I know you're kidding, but who could they conceivably pick that would cause outrage? Only scenario I can think of is Lindor with the Bubba and the Bradleys still on the table. I keep having visions of the Cubs picking someone like LHP Grayson Garvin out of Vandy with their first rounder. Nice guy, good potential, but he's not considered to be even a second round talent by most people. After Hayden Simpson last year, it's impossible to predict who the Cubs will take. I keep thinking that Dave Littlefield works for you guys now. This makes me smile.

    Rendon, Cole, or Bundy? I think it's going to be Cole.

    Correia is 5-1 on the road with a 2.79 ERA http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7178

    That was a hell of a stop though, easily saved another run.
