McLouth Trade: Who Died?
I understand the Pirates players being upset about the Nate McLouth trade. But me thinks they need some proper perspective:
On Thursday, at the clubhouse table where McLouth used to play cards with relievers Sean Burnett and Jesse Chavez, a candle bearing his uniform No. 13 was lit, along with a photo of him in uniform, the Post-Gazette reported. “We’ll miss him,” Burnett said.
So I suppose we can look forward to Pirates players wearing No. 13 patches on their sleeves, a foundation to be set up in McLouth’s memory, and his image to adorn the centerfield wall at PNC Park. That should be fun.

It’s the Pirates. We really shouldn’t be surprised.

I’m moving to Pittsburgh in a few weeks – and most of my friends think I should apply for the GM job.
They don’t think I should apply b/c I am particularly smart, but b/c the Pirates front office is so inept – I couldn’t possibly do a worse job.
I’ll do it for free – and I can all but guarantee – in 5 years – the team will contend.

It’s not exactly Roberto Clemente passing away, ya know?
