Re:Pirates Report Card (or lack thereof)


So the other day I was driving on the highway and a bird flew out from the overpass and smashed into my windshield...

...speaking of awesome stories and roadkill*, the Pittsburgh Pirates were seen along the side of the road somewhere around mid June.  The wreckage was a mangled, smoking, pile of misery.  One of those accidents that are so grotesque you can't look away.  

I'm going to name all the current Pirates I can think of off the top of my head: Nate McLouth, Freddy Sanchez, Jason Bay, Xavier Nady, Octavio Dotel, Jack Wilson...Hey, wait a second!  None of these guys are on the Pirates anymore!?  What gives?  How do you grade a team whose All Star is named Evan Meek?   Let's just hope the Bucs can keep it under 100 losses next season.  This seems to be how success is measured in Pittsburgh.  At 105 losses for 2010, it really wasn't that bad of a year.  Six fewer losses and you have a good season.
 
*smooth segway, huh?
