OT - I'm bored, Part Pangos & Bell!

[Nasty_Magician]

I can't believe we traded Kelenic. For an aging roid head and a shaky closer. God Brody Vanwagenan did a lot of damage in a short time.

Tennessee top tackler To'o To'o transfers to Tide

The addition of transfer Henry To'o To'o from Tennessee goes a long way in solidifying Alabama's linebacker corps after the departure of senior Dylan Moses to the NFL.

And on the main page this was the Headline and it is fitting to a "T" in Africa.

I am not a fan of the new Oriole bird!

 

[naslundfan19]

Pretty impressive for a guy that spent very little time being able to train for this.

So the Pirates scored almost 10% of their runs this season against Kyle Hendricks.
Not sure what is worse, the Pirates as a team or the fact that Hendricks sucks against the Pirates?

The Pirates as a team. Definitely the Pirates as a team.

I agree. Definitely needs a bigger cod piece to draw the ladies into the action.

They'll have four fried chickens and a coke with some dried white toast.

 

[wings-pens2166]

Seriously neither did I!
I didn't think they would have 5 wins as of now and would be lucky to get more than 62 on the season.

Ever since you posted this DDDD, it’s the only thing that’s kept me interested in the Pirates this year so far....wondering just how how many loses they’d get in those 20 games.

well, they’re half way thru and are at 8 loses so far. With Cin, SF, StL, and Atl up next, I’m gonna go with 17 loses in those 20.

what say you? @sbb122? @dare2be?

Funny the chats we have are the only thing keeping me interested in the Pirates also.

Honestly I see the best they can do is 5-15.
They keep bringing in re-treads in the OF, the two latest are Troy Stokes and Ben Gamel while their best OF prospect sits in AAA (Swagerty).
And to bring in Ben Gamel they waived yet another piece of the Gerrit Cole trade in Felix.
Basically that deal is now Cole for Colin Moran.

It’s as if this should be the Pirates’ new logo.

But really, anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows exactly what they’re doing.

Say you’re building for the future, trade off any talent/emerging stars you have, wait for the returns to begin to develop into emerging stars, say you’re building for the future, trade those emerging stars for prospects, wait for them to develop into talent/emerging stars, say your building for the future, well we all knows what comes next. Wash, rinse, repeat. And by always building for the future, you never have to pay major league salaries.

Totally. They are dangling the carrot that will never be obtained.


This is the Bob Nutting business model for keeping the fans involved:

Can they just mercy rule the Pirates tonight?

Gregory Polanco's IL Placement Due To Protocol Violation

TODAY: Polanco is expected back with the Pirates within a few days, manager Derek Shelton told reporters (including Kevin Gorman …

www.mlbtraderumors.com

Polanco “utilized a training service that was outside of the Pirates’ bubble,”

I mean not like what the Pirates were doing with him was working.

 

[thedddd]

Sad all the issues he had recently.

That dude was a gunslinger at Hawaii. RIP

OK then.
