It's been nearly a month since management blew up the team for the umpteenth time in the last 15 years in another desparate attempt to make it look like they are trying to put a winner on the field. Whatever. Here are the players current stats The Pirates got who are playing with them now, compared to how the players they traded away are doing:

Pirates:

-Andy LaRoche; 2HR 5RBI .129AVG. (Just what the team needed. Another LaRoche who can't hit.)

-Brandon Moss; 4HR 8RBI .236AVG.(Has shown flashes that he may be good, but that's no gaurantee that he will.)

-Jeff Karstens; 2-3 3.48 ERA 1CG 1SHO. (Coming back to earth after his first 2 starts with the team.)

-Craig Hansen; 0-2 8.10 ERA 1SV 12BB 10INN


Yankees:

-Xavier Nady; 8HR 23RBI .308AVG.

-D.Marte; 0-2 7.15 ERA 0 SV

Red Sox:

-Jason Bay; 4HR 27RBI .327AVG.



**Gee, I wonder who made out better? Management better pray these players,(and the one's down in the minors, too), get real good real fast. If you were writing a comedy about a baseball team, I swear you couldn't come up with s*** as funny as this.(And I'm not even talking about that whole Alvarez mess. That's a separate thread.) Just pathetic.**

10 straight losses as of today...LOL That 100 loss season is still possible!!!!!!
Its unbelievable how inept the team is...and the only thing Russel says is "We haven't been scoring much"......LMFAO So nice he can sit back and be so calm. Go Steelers and Pens...the only Pro sports team this town has.

I watched the game today and I must say that this team has nothing left. They are going to come very close to 100 lose season. I will say this for Littlefield, he had the only good trades that I have seen so far. Nady and Bay. Other than that, it has been a total joke. Littlefield had nothing to work with and Huntington is fooling himself if he really believes that he has anything to work with.

The field looks bad, the team looks bad, the stadium looks bad, this entire thing looks bad. I really thought that we would see an improvement, but it is not looking like it will be. Pitching is bad and they have given up more runs than any other team except Texas Rangers.

It's one thing to be overmatched and untalented.(Which they are.) But it's quite obvious to me that little to nobody on this team is even trying anymore. When I had the misfortune of watching 10 minutes of one of the games this past weekend, there seemed to be a collective,"Let's hurry up and get this game over with so we can get out of here" vibe. And this is the same squad that will be here next year and beyond? As far as Russell goes, you'd be calm too if your team could lose every game between now and the end of the season, yet still know that you'd be retaining your position. Accountability my a**.
