Pirates vs. Cardinals - Game 91

[Legacy User]

Star Wars Night.

All I have to ask ESPN is...why?

I think its cardinals thing.. and espn playing it up till im ready to puke

[Legacy User]

C'mon Cutch! WTF was he doing swinging at that 4th pitch? Be smart.

[Legacy User]

walker joining the shit show! I guess the bucs just enjoy laying down and playing dumb on national tv nites.

[Legacy User]

BUNT, you dope!

[Jobu]

There's a reason that Matt Hague is a career minor leaguer.

This series has been upsetting. I am close to being on the fuck Hurdle bandwagon.

Bullshit, I've been driving it since he arrived!

Jackass cost us a run letting Hauge or whatever his name is swing.

Should have scored a run, but Hurdle is an asshole and let a minor leaguer ground into a DP.

He sure does clap well. Get that man some pom poms.

[Jobu]

Pittsburgh Pirates bullpen....transforming Colten Wong in to Jose Batista, one pitch at a time.

[Legacy User]

I cant take the star wars shit anymore or the fucking pirates..im done..nite guys!

[Legacy User]

I'm not so sure I can get behind the Pirates' strategy of losing when they play teams in their own division, even if they also win when they play teams from other divisions.

[Obviously]

Just when I start to get excited about these guys, they lay a fucking egg like this. You'd think they'd want to settle the Cards' hash for them after the playoffs. Nope, they've fucking wimps.

[Legacy User]

Wong, 4 homers all season, 2 in 2 games with us. Clint making a hero out of him.

[jeemie]

I said in the other thread, while we laid this egg, the Phillie came in and took the Brewers for three straight games.

An unexpected chance to make up ground in the Central, and our thumbs were up our asses.

27-16 against the NL East and West.

20-28 against the NL Central. 9-4 v the Cubs...11-24 v the Reds, Cards, and Brewers

3-10 v the Brewers.
3-7 v the Reds
5-7 v the Cards.

There's the problem right there.

[Obviously]

A.J. Pierzynski DFA.... just sayin'.

Yep, because he had such a positive influence on the World Champs this season. OH wait!

As opposed to Chris Stewart.

I think I'd take my chances with Pierzynski off the bench.

The dude looks like a total bad seed. Why would you want him?

And I know that the red Sox always dump on players they leave, like the author said, but it seems totally deserved.

Neither Stewart nor Sanchez may be making the grade, but come on, man! We don't need a dude like AJ around.

[Legacy User]

Okay. But no whining about Stewart when Martin inevitably misses time.

[Obviously]

I probably would have agreed with you before this season. I catch a lot of Red Sox games. He's absolutely worthless behind the plate. And yes, he was a decent hitter at one time, but no more. Will he give you more hits than Chris Stewart? Maybe, but like Jeemie says, the guy's a fucking turd in the clubhouse. Players around the league can't stand the guy. No fucking thanks.

Just throwing this out there, what would it take to acquire Papelbon from Philly? He wants traded, and the Pirates desperately need a hammer to close out games. Hell, throw Burnett into the deal and i'd be a happy camper

Papelbon isn't a hammer anymore...although he has been quite good this season.

I don't think he's appreciably better than Melancon or Watson...Phils would have to eat a lot of contract.

[Legacy User]

I think Papelbon is WAY more likely than Street. Combo of eating salary and a little Jose Tabata action might make it palatable to the Pirates.

[Legacy User]

If the Pirates are willing to add salary there should be a ton of available options in positions of need

If i'm getting two pitchers from the Phils, I'd prefer Papelbon and Lee over Papelbon and Burnett- depending, of course, on how Lee looks after the ASB.

Phils hopefully would eat a ton of salary.

If you're getting Lee and Papelbon they'd fucking have to eat significantly more than half of it.

[Legacy User]

I think you'd probably be better off spreading it around. Get maybe Papelbon from the Phillies, a starter from somewhere else, ADRIAN FUCKING BELTRE.

I am so fucking down with this.
