Hey there are fans on the sites now calling for us to hire a hispanic manager. Not a particular guy but he just must be hispanic since we are going to be a total hispanic league soon. and they are not being funny but are serious. One guy keeps calling for Mike Lowell, because he is hispanic. ...

Pirates have interviewed two candidates for manager so far. Eric Wedge was first followed by Bo Porter. Are you kidding me? Bo Porter?? and they have now expressed interest in former team cancer player, Juan Samuel. Of course he stated he would be very interested and would interview soon. Van...

Well, Russell was fired and a few white guys have been mentioned for his job by the press. but so far the only guy who has openly said he wants the job is .............ta da..............Dave Clark. and of course the fanbase is picking Willie Randolph. Oh yes one fan keeps calling for Mike...

Yeah I thought Rendon must be hispanic/white. Some pictures he looks very white, no hispanic or black bloodlines. Other pictures he looks partly black. Then he looks hispanic and has the name Rendon as well. He is just hard to pin down. Of course this is what the liberals want. Everyone should...

OK, the season is just about wound down. And as expected it would also appear the Pirates will get the number pick next year in college draft. My burning question is ...........what the heck kind of nationality is Rendon. He is the player most on the Pirates sites want us to get. For the life of...

You can't even argue with most of the fans on the sites. they really feel like the only athletes are the black or hispanic ones. Plus they will tell you white players, no matter how good, are boring. they say they rather have blacks and hispanics that play with more pizzaz and fire. It is disgusting

Yeah one of the things president Coonelly was bragging about was the fact that we are signing a ton of hispanic players and the team was now starting to get back "to its roots". ????? Gosh I didn't know that the city of Pittsburhs roots were hispanic. OK OK I know what he meant. And he is...

I remember just 2-3 years ago the only black player on the roster was Delwyn Young. Today we have to work hard to get 3 whites in the starting lineup, not counting the pitcher. and even the pitching staff is becoming more uh......athletic

Oh yeah, as if Poor Poor hitting Argeniz Diaz is not bad enough at short, the Pirates dropped pitcher Jakubaukus to make room on the roster for another player. That will be recent trade acquisition Ciriaco another one of those black hispanic no hit "awesome" fielding shortstops that will...

And in the same game Milledge ran in and caught a foul but then could not throw out slow footed Paulino at home because he took 6 steps after catching it to go along with his poor arm as well. And meanwhile John Bowker continues to crush the ball in AAA and yet will probably not come up until...

Once more the Pirates lose and once more I watched as Andrew McCutchen "raced" over to make another great catch...reached up ....and TOTALLY MISSED THE BALL. It just went right past his glove. That gave up the go ahead run against a great pitcher Josh Johnson. That is at least the third time I...

Yeah he sort of played the conservative republican role. You know the one where they call the president a "liar" or maybe say the BP deal was a "shakedown" but then just a day later they are falling over themselves to apologize.

Yeah and on all the sites DWF's continually say things like "I like Jones but we need to trade him....". I always come back and say well if we could get a lot for him now "while he is doing good" (as if it is luck, I guess) then maybe we ought to trade Andrew McCutchen. Just think what we could...

And we have not stopped. Starling Marte is the next latin saviour in minors but he is on hold as he broke his wrist, thankfully postponing his arrival in upper minors. And even some dwf are getting excited about shorstop Argenis Diaz, one of the worst hitters EVER. But those same fans never...

Also though Alavarez and Tabata are talked about as saviors for the Pirates, Walker was brought up and called a utility player and the press was told he would be a bench player and role player. He of course, screwed that up for them by being great and winning the second base job. But he still...

the Pirates have went overboard over the excitement and love and articles about the new players Tabata and Alvarez. When they mention our top prospects being brought up it is always their names mentioned. They show Pedros parents continually. Whatever they do, even if it is bad, they gush over...

Whatg Hudson fails to see or mention is that even if...even IF.....not as many get signed, the ones that do make a lot more than the white players that get signed

Speaking of the face of the Pirates, McCutchen, he has a horrible arm in center and an even worse idea of when and where to throw the baseball. His play has been terrible in center.

The main reason for Jones being moved is that right and first are two positions manned by white players. So when another player needs to play you shuffle those spots. Never mind sitting down Milledge who has not really done much so far. And of course never ever set down McCutchen, who has...

Pirate sites and newspapers are loaded with stories now about how close Milledge and McCutchen are. Plus other stories about how great of story Milledge is. Plus stories about how Milledge is ready for breakout year. The media push is on. Meanwhile I have read several stories about Tabata being...

Hated to see Brandon Moss designated for assignment today. I really felt he might put it together this year. Now it more than likely will be with another team if he does. And of course, super-black Delwyn Young will assume Moss's spot as 5th OF. Young can hit a bit but is one of the worst...

Elijah Dukes was released by the Nats. I was waiting for it and it just came. Pirate fans on all the sites are screaming for the Pirates to sign that piece of junk. If they were too sign him (and I don't think they will) it would be the final straw for me and the Pirates

On the Pittsburgh Pirates home site a fan asked the reporter why we don't have enough black players in baseball. All the old reasons surfaced and then she also mentioned that the commish was trying to get a world draft instead of just the regular one in Amerika. That way, it was mentioned, we...

Good thread and right on the money. I read a lot of fans sites and they constantly harp on the fact that their teams need to sign more hispanics, sign more asians, sign more foreigners. Never sign more americans, unless of course it is Afro-Americans.

I love how they always split the black players from the black hispanic players, thus insuring that it will seem like there are far less blacks in the game. If you add the Afro-Americans (sic) with the black latino or hispanic players you get a much truer picture of the "color" of baseball. And...
