The Utah Jazz. The Jazz... duh.
The best NBA team in Utah... no doubts about it!
Playing For Pride. Pirates, Utes, Panthers, and more...
Because, in the end, only one team can "win it all".

New nicknames:

Adam LaRoche: Big Whiff
Andy LaRoche: Little K

How about just

Big Whiff and little whiff.

LittleK isn’t going to be a high-strikeout guy, so I don’t know if that works.

Finally home!

First time watching the Pirates in over a week! Lucky me…..

Why the hell is greg brown talking about

Soriano only having 19 unintentional walks?? Freddy only has 12…and his last one was June 15th. And I don’t recall hearing the Pirates announcers saying ANYTHING about that.

I guess the league figured out how to hit him

that throwing strikes method did not work this time.

maybe he should lift his glove above his head in his windup like dookie

10 Quality Starts in a row/Aug. 08 - BUT now we can't hit:(

Maybe

a better chance at getting on base to lead off the inning?

by Hitman Easler on Aug 25, 2008 8:19 PM EDT reply actions  

well i like how the Pirates attack the first pitch

so they can get this game over as soon as possible…and not suck so much

At Honest Wagner

they call Moss “Prison Baller”

I have no idea why, but that is absolutely awesome.

by Raise the Jolly Roger on Aug 25, 2008 8:24 PM EDT reply actions  

I hope they get rid of Morgan in the offseason

he is like Willie Mays Hays……

You may run like Hays but you hit like shit!!

Well,

at least the possiblity of a triple play is still in order.

I wish the little league world series was still on

this is sick to watch this kind of punishment. I think i will wear a bag on my head and maybe slowly suffocate myself

I'd settle for

team handball or curling right now.

by Thunder on Aug 25, 2008 8:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

or speed walking

Oh god

we’re getting massacred :(

Welp...

by phillybucco on Aug 25, 2008 8:40 PM EDT reply actions  

OH...LOVELY...

Brown and Walk talking about Pirates trying to sign Michaels to a multi year contract. Not only that, but they want the entire bench back!! Guess that they don’t want Cutch, Pearce, Bixler or any other kids up.

Step away from the crack pipe guys.

by Thunder on Aug 25, 2008 9:07 PM EDT reply actions  

No...I'm sure they are figuring

on the lineup as it is currently constructed.

by Thunder on Aug 25, 2008 9:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

Walk makes it sound like

the young guys like Cutch and Pearce feel like they are entitled to a roster spot in Pittsburgh.

Wow-

looks like everyone abandoned this thread right after the Bucs abandoned the game…

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. -- HST

Yeah...

no real point in sticking around once the Buccos have mailed it in.
Classes just started today… depressing enough. Don’t need any more of it.
