Brian Giles Got Traded! SCREW THE PIRATES!

Edit: Somehow, a post I made on August 26, 2003 has been kicking around in the system and only got published today. Weird. Who can understand these computers?

He's the best player on this team! How could the Pirates let him go?! And for what? KDKA says it's for A Player To Be Named Later and some "prospect" named Jason Day or something. I don't know who this Jason Day thinks he is but I hate him already. And he comes from the Padres who suck and will probably finish in last place so how could anybody they trade away be any good? Yeah. Exactly.

Brian Giles has 85 RBI this year and it's only August 26th. Last year he had 105 RBI! I can't believe management could be so stupid as to let him go. I quit. I can't be a fan anymore of a team that would trade its best player for some unproven prospect. This is an insult to me and to Pirates fans everywhere. NOW IS THE TIME TO REVOLT AND BOYCOTT THE PIRATES. I'm burning my Kevin Young jersey as we speak. Ha ha!

P.S. When are the Penguins ever gonna win the cup again? Probably never. THEY SUCK TOO!

P.P.S. Does anybody know how to put out a burning baseball jersey? My apartment is filling up with smoke and it's hard to breathe.

Oh man how things have changed, that was great. Especially the burning jersey part

Amazing

Amazing some things never change about management they did trade for that Day guy for prospects and the pirates still suck and the prospects from that trade are getting good like ross ohlendorf (spelled it right on the first try).

great post.

you forgot to mention that we got oliver perez in this trade too. he was really solid for the pirates as well. and we ended up trading him for xavier nady, who we then traded for tabata ohlendorf and karstens.
