Official 2013 Pittsburgh Pirates Thread

[Idoit40fans]

Isn't this cole's second year as a pro. Contract-advantages aside, why don't we let him get to double digits in innings in AAA before giving him a rotation spot?

[KennyTheKangaroo]

so a lot of people on sports radio 93.7 the fan are irate that gerritt cole got send to AAA. any thoughts?

I have no problem with it. I'd like them to just admit why they did it tho instead of pretending we're all stupid but im used to that. Apparently Cole isn't too happy about it, but i havent heard or read what his comments were .

he basically said he thought he was ready. someone asked him if he thought it had anything to do with the service time issues and he dodged the question.

Eh, sounds like a whole lot of nothin. Thats what I get for relying on a Fan 20/20 Sports update powered by bowser driven by hyundai

A lot of people on sports radio are dumb.

This.

[columbia]

Are those the same people that are irate about Despres not playing enough?

[slappybrown]

But weekend suck for me and I can't make those games

he could take the saturday plan, get his home opener tickets, and just ticket exchange for the weekday games he wants... or sell the saturday games, make some money and buy tickets at his STH rate for the weekday games he wants

I like your style Jooce. Can you inquire with NOT Kicksave as to the status of the eeter seets and/or the availability of a chat function for ticket reps?

[Mr. Colby]

So Cole saying he thinks he's ready for the MLB = Cole being pissed we're optioned him?

Did people expect Cole to say he's not ready? Seriously?

I am not putting up with one more vote for ______ campaign in Pittsburgh. I will delete twitter if i have too.

[FreeCandy44]

Which fumble will they showcase if Antonio Brown gets the cover?

[jimreb]

Ronny Cedeno released today by the Cards....Anyone? Anyone?

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

Which fumble will they showcase if Antonio Brown gets the cover?

It be him running backwards into the endzone.

[joopen]

It be him running backwards into the endzone.

He will be celebrating a pedestrian 5 yard catch on 2nd down with his 20 yard run downfield.

[schreibdog]

Seems pointless...a 38 year old middle infielder with no pop and no speed. Is this minor-league depth since d'Arnaud is out for 2 months?

[beerman]

I'd rather have McDonald than Harrison as the backup MI, if that's the end result of this. He's better defensively and offensively.

[Rocco]

Kyle McPherson today- 4.2 IP, 10H, 9 R, 8 ER, 3 K, 2 HR allowed. And he was only the 2nd worst Pirate pitcher behind Vin Mazzaro-1 IP, 8 H, 6 ER, 2 HR. MATW is in midseason form- he allowed a 3-run HR in his one inning of work.

Is that why Dejan is raging on Twitter about shortstops?

[Kovy27]

Dejan sucks. /endofKovy27rant

[Mr. Colby]

@jayhoff01 I answer to my readers. I’m accountable. I’m here. If I had thin skin, I’d go hide somewhere.

Dejan's twitter.

Funny he says that after he blocked me.

-Blocked me for saying "good thing you weren't managing the Bucs or else they'd be 1.5 million dollars poorer" when they signed Karstens for 2.5

[Kovy27]

I don't understand how the Trib still employs him. I'd never buy that newspaper with him as a sports writer.

[Bioshock]

Honestly don't see what is wrong with Dejan. He's the only person more pissed off at the Pirates than myself and i rather enjoy that fact.

[Kovy27]

It is the way he handles himself.

You know that line from The Big Lebowski, "you're not wrong, Walter, you're just an (expletive)"? Applies to Dejan lately when talking about the Pirates.
