God I'm sick of these assholes... when you trade away any talent that we do develop for no good bums and make such GREAT signings as Derrick Bell & Raul Mondesi, what do you expect?

Now these morons won't discuss a long-term deal with Jason Bay because they can still get him on the cheap for 1 more year and arbitration for 2 more years. I'm so sick of these assholes. You say McClendon has to go, I say that flammer Mclatchy and his butt buddy Littlefield have to go.

McClendon should not have any trouble finding work. Pirates management are morans beyond belief. No team will win in the NL Central without a payroll of at least $80-85 million. Even with all the Cards injuries they are still coasting to a division title.

I thought Lloyd did a good job, perhaps you will see him in Arizona, as I am sure Melvin will be fired soon.

Man, he was fun to watch too. I remember when he got thrown out of a game, and "stole" 1st base on his way out. Classic.

How can anyone think this?

They speculated on Baseball Tonight that Jim Leyland may come back as a replacement... probably best Pirates news since 1992.
