Here We Go Again Now everyone on the pirate site I am at is now calling for Josh Harrison to start at second and Neil Walker to go to the bench. They claim that they all knew he would fail after just "one" decent year. :der:

Here we go again A new season and already the same old thing. Pirates rushed to sign Tabata last year to an extension and now they have extended our face of the team McCutchen. The fans are wetting themselves they are so ecstatic. However, I have already read 4 articles about how we should NOT...

New Pirate Welcome to the pirates A. J. Burnett. and we traded two hispanics to get him. Wow

More Also have you noticed how usually when we get white players they are replacing white players. This year though we have Barmes replacing Cedeno and Jones and McGehee replacing Lee. Maybe that is why the fans are so upset

Amen to That The pirates faithfull on all the sites are always imagining who they would trade and who they would get. And the players always mentioned trading are Jones, Presley, Hanrahan and now once again McLouth. And they are always wanting to trade FOR hispanic or African-American players...

Presley well after Presley had a great start to his career, now all I read on the pirates sites is how we need to trade him (usually for a black or hispanic player) to make room for our new superstar Marte. Yeah boy, then we would be great. Marte, McCutchen and Tabata. And according to these...

i am just glad the pirates did not sign this loser. Word was they were interested.:crazy:

Saber Junk I hate sabermetrics. Most of these stats were invented for fantasy league players. Scouts use some but not as many as most saber junkies think. and man can guys do a number with these things when they want to. I just read on a pirates site how Jose Tabata is worth sooooo much more...

McCutchen has a spaghetti arm, and poor baseball instincts seemingly never knowing which base to throw to. He makes a lot of errors but should have had many more but they really go out of their way to not give him errors on most of his gaffes

Walker And there is a guy on another site that constantly posts saying Neil Walker is not good, should be traded or sent down, and that rbi's don't mean anything because he would not get them except for Tabata and McCutchen getting on in front of him

Exciting McCutchen Was reading Bucs Dugout and during game thread a poster actually posted "Man did you guys see how cool Cutch was when he took that walk. No body can look so cool when he gets a walk. Man he is just exciting and so cool." He took a freakin ball four and went to first but this...

Harrison Harrison is always mentioned on the Pirates tv as the "speedy" Harrison. But in reality he is very average in speed, in fact slightly below average for a black man. He also is one of the worst defensive players in the game with a horrible horrible arm. And if you look at his stats real...

Presley just a stop gap I continually read the posts on the Pittsburgh sites and in all but a few, Presley is getting good comments but they all view him as just a stopgap player until Starling Marte gets to Pittsburgh. They all then go into orgastic extasy thinking about an outfield of Tabata...

Of course, they immediately re-signed him.

Merry Christmas joy joy the Pirates have resigned Donald Veal. Ohif we could ONLY resign Lastings Milledge now my life would be complete

Well I have made up my mind to never post on any more Pirate sites. I read them and just get more angry. They have this massive need to trade Jones and it is always to get an hispanic or black player. And usually one that has much worse stats than Jones. And you cannot talk or reason it out with...

And now the one player that hit with power for the Pirates last year (Garrett Jones) is being told he will probably have to become a platoon player if he wants to see much playing time. 21 homers and 86 rbi's in his first full season is somehow not good enough for a team that lost 105 games...

Duke has been traded to Arizona for a player to be named later. It is strange how Pittsburgh lately seems to tell EVERYONE that they are going to release a player and then when they try to trade him ....surprise.... they cant get anything for him. Capps was handled the same way. Released. Oh well.

And then there were two........Bannister and Hurdle are the final two candidates with Hurdle the NEW favorite. However Hurdle may also be one of the favorites for the Mets job so the Pirates may once more lose out

Pirates are down to three candidates and holding. Porter, Tosca and Bannister and of course as Van_Slyke_CF mentioned there is also probably Hurdle. I think that Ron Wotus of the Giants is also a candidate for the job and they have to wait on him as well. I heard Tosca has mentioned he will...

They did not really tell me a good answer but of course a few drug their response toward the ole cliche of me being a racist. They never seem to see the irony of how racist their comments were to begin with.

Just a few years ago the Rangers had a lot of white players. But the whole state of Texas is shifting dramatically towards the Hispanics. I don't know who I would want to win in the series. Not a lot of "white" showing on either team. I do like Freddy Sanchez on the Giants due to the way he was...

Open mouth, insert foot, get away with it. What if I, a white guy, had said this. "¢Vladimir Guerrero told Carlos A. Nava of the Texas Spanish Language paper Al Dia that he signed with the Rangers for a number of reasons. "One of the principal reasons I signed with Texas is that I knew they had...

Jeez, one more day and one more "discussion" with Pirates fans on a site. When I asked them why I should get excited about Tony Pena as a manager..............their answer.He is hispanic and would therefore be good for some of our younger players. I asked them why that was important and them...

yeah, Porter hopefully will be hired by the Marlins. he would be a waste. But remember back a few years in another manager search. The Pirates had made their choice and were ready to announce it. Then the commish stepped in. He informed the Pirates that they WOULD "interview" a minority. The...
