Well my friends here we go again. Although this year could be even worse than normal. Of course I'm talking about the lowly Pittsburgh Pirates. Bad and getting worse by the day.
Just how bad? Well their record stands at W 25, L 49, the second worst record in MLB. But two stats that stand out even worse are their 9 road wins as opposed to 30 losses but the grand daddy of them all: They have been outscored by a league worst 180 runs. Baltimore has the worst record in the league but has stills scored 41 more runs than the Bucs and have been winning some games lately.
This team may very well lose 110 games this year. I predicted 105 but that is in jeopardy. Things just don't seem to have a chance to get better. Granted, Pedro Alvarez is young but is embarrassingly overmatched. Brad Lincoln has stunk out loud and his stats are much worse than they look (29 hits, 8 BB's and a 6.00 era in 24 innings).
Jose Tabata has been holding his own and Neil Walker has been the best story of the season. It's just a dame shame he was concussed by Ryan Church, who is the worst player still on this roster. Neil Huntington is letting Steve Pearce sit at AAA so another one of his bullshit free agent mistakes doesn't have to be released. Dump the bum!
I'm actually going to the game tomorrow as it's here in Chicago. Wrigley Field is the best and the people are nice. As I type this I looked at today's lineup. Bobby Crosby is batting second and the 7-9 hitters are Andy Laroche, Jason Jaramillo and Ronny Cedeno. I actually feel bad for manager John Russell as these turds should be in AAA, some of them out of baseball.
At the end of the day, I vent because I care. The only way things will change is for folks to stop going to games or for MLB to intervene. The latter won't happen so I hope folks get the message.
Congrats finally to the fired and then rehired Pierogi. I mean, this team can't even do that right.
