PrintHere's a 2012 Pirates calendar I got for Christmas. See if you can see anything wrong.
The name of the company that made the calendar is Perfect Timing.

On closer inspection
I see Ryan Doumit Chris Snyder and Ronny Cedeno…
Still ooops.
On even closer inspection
Is that Ryan Doumit on the far left of the middle row?
No, that’s Alvarez.
There’s also Ross Ohlendorf on the right side in the middle row.

was probably produced
awhile back, i planned on getting a bucco calendar this year, hope they have more updated ones
Thats what she said! - Michael Gary Scott
Yeah. Even if it was produced in August, though, being able to foresee that Cedeno, Snyder and Ohlendorf might not be with the team this year should have been an easy call. Giving Cedeno the month of January was just an awful decision. Meanwhile, guys like Karstens and McDonald aren’t on there.
The Pirates gave out a calendar at PirateFest that’s fully updated.

You might have trouble coming up with twelve guys who are on the 25-man both 2011 and 2012. Though if they had just run 12 pictures of Cutch, who’d complain?

Right. The solution to that problem isn’t to feature pictures of players who won’t be with the team in ‘12. It’s to feature the PNC skyline, Clint Hurdle, the Pirate Parrot, etc. etc. etc. like the calendar made by the Pirates does.
Even as it stands, though, Karstens, McDonald, Presley, McKenry, No Relation and others all would have made more sense than some of the guys they picked.

Add in Pirates greats like Pops, Clemente and Cecilio Guante and you’ve got yourself a calendar!

Hold onto that thing.
It’ll be a collector’s item one day, like those stamps with the upside-down airplane and the newspapers with the “DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN” headlines.
Worth millions.
Hey Charlie,
back on December 20th, you mentioned you were interviewed for a documentary about the Pirates. You said it was about what it meant to be a fan of this franchise.
Can you provide any more details about this program? For instance, when will it be released, and where we can find more information? Sounds like it would be a good idea to post clips of this program on this blog when production is completed.
It’s apparently a big project and it won’t be out for a while, maybe not until the end of the season or Spring Training 2013.

Darn.
My mom went out looking for a Pirates monthly calendar like that. All she could find here in Iowa is a Steelers one. So I got a Steelers calendar instead. Meh….
You gotta aim high to fail so big. - Trace Beaulieu
I got the exact same calendar, Charlie
I figure I’ll just tape Barmes’ face onto Cedeno, Barajas’ face onto Snyder, and Eric Bedard’s face overtop of Olendorf.
Oh yeah
well I’ll go you one better. I’ll paste Tulowitzki’s face over Ronnie’s, Posey’s over Snyder’s and Cliff Lee’s over Ohlendorf’s.

Hah!
I have the same thing in my kitchen. My mom just got it for me. Funny stuff indeed.
Don't need to pay for no stinking calendar.
I go to the home opener/closer every year, they hand out the magnetic ones, and they’re smart not to put anyone’s picture on them.
Besides, yours won’t stick to your refrigerator.
here's your problem
it has a pirate playing baseball in october
