Epic win.

Should the Pirates keep Neal Huntington?

never understood the ridicolous jersey numbers

#75, #61, #99 ??

I’m sure there are better choices available..

by FusilliJerry88 on Feb 19, 2012 2:43 PM EST reply actions  

Yep.

Everybody on the 40-man is in camp, plus 19 NRIs, plus nine members of the coaching staff, plus ten retired numbers.

That’s a total of 78 people who need different numbers, out of a total of 99 possibilities.

by Vlad on Feb 19, 2012 3:22 PM EST up reply actions  

99 possibilities

Technically 100, I guess, if you count 00.

by Vlad on Feb 19, 2012 3:23 PM EST up reply actions  

Should be 12 retired

Can’t believe we never retired Barry Bonds and Bobby Bonilla’s number.

I think it makes sense that they didn’t retire Bonds’s number until Bonds himself was officially retired, but you’d have to think they’ll go there sooner or later.

And poor Arky Vaughan’s still isn’t retired for him.

(For most of his career, he wore #21, which of course is retired for Clemente.)

by Vlad on Feb 20, 2012 3:20 PM EST up reply actions  

and you gotta remember the fact that theres alot more players than the 40 man roster there in camp

by rinsana11 on Feb 19, 2012 3:22 PM EST up reply actions  

Some of them are personal choices, I believe. I suspect Owens asked for 99.

by Thunder on Feb 19, 2012 3:44 PM EST up reply actions  

yep

and I believe he would be the first #99 in Pirates history if he makes the club

Is Rudy Owens attempting to adopt the “Wild Thing Rick Vaughn” persona? The skull and crossbones frames will play really well for this franchise…

It's a good day to be a Pirate

And that guy's a perfectly reliable human

Wouldn’t it be better if Owens became Charlie Sheen? Not from a baseball standpoint; from a purely entertainment view.

I saw Charlie Sheen live last year

When he was preforming in DC, best show I ever attended.

I'd ask for 99.

Best number ever.

about his dog strolling into the room and licking its balls in front of company:

“If I could do that, I’d never leave the house.”

You should see the jersey-number situation at minor-league camp.

Thank God

This offseason has been way too long.

by SuperBaes on Feb 19, 2012 3:56 PM EST reply actions  

I disagree it has been too short

Feels like yesturday David Freese was hitting a GWHR in the WS and Burger King Fielder was a Brewer.

Go back and read the first 3 400+ comment threads regarding Paul Maholm

Then, if you haven’t shot yourself in the face yet, start on the 2008 draft, the Alonso/Rizzo trades, and A.J. Burnett. We all turned on each other shortly after the first week of January.

by SuperBaes on Feb 20, 2012 2:40 AM EST up reply actions  

Believe me I have probally read every comment regarding Maholm

Since it went down and it still feels short. I remember everyone turning on each other and WTM and Thunder were leading the way. Fun times!!

You're a better man than me

I had to take a break, step back, and hug loved ones instead of commenting/reading more comments this offseason.

Great photo

And let’s go bucs! Can’t wait to start the game threads.

can't help wondering

what Ray is saying to them all.

by pittschamps on Feb 20, 2012 3:00 AM EST via mobile reply actions  

the press seems to think it would be better if we went out and short ourselves.
Me I’m for wasting their time
