Crazy Pirate Ideas

Well, we have endured six months of the NBA preseason. It is finally time for the NBA regular season to begin. Congratulations to all fans of 16 teams who qualified for the four-month long NBA regular season.

Sometimes people in charge of terrible baseball teams can sound completely insane.

Bob Nutting, Pirates owner:

"We are operating the Pirates responsibly from a solid business and baseball foundation in order to consistently compete on the field and maintain the long-term viability of the franchise."

??? I don't even have a response to this quote; it is downright silly.

Also, Jim Tracy said he'd like to remedy the problems Tony Armas, Jr. is having as a starting pitcher by making sure he never misses a start. In two starts, Armas has pitched 6.2 innings and allowed 14 earned runs. We should be skipping his starts at every single opportunity.

Finally, MAN those games start late in L.A. Freakin' 10:40 pm eastern time. Things aren't looking to good for the Buccos at the moment.
