Now that's funny, it's good to laugh at this disaster.

I'm not sure that I was trying to be funny!  But, thanks.

BOB wouldn't care, he would just replace you with other cardboard fans.




I remember the fans on Studio Wrestling with Bill Cardile.  Seems like those fans (other than first row or two of real people) were painted wooden fans.



Perhaps they will show up at PNC.
Which begs the question: "Is Pirate baseball real?"




I'm afraid that it is.  I believe that it's called a "pandemic" in certain circles. 



BOB says that there's been a lot of FAKE NEWS about it, but every logical person on earth knows that he's lying when he says anything.



He's got a lot of guys working on it.  Only problem is- they're as unimpressive in their jobs so far that it makes DR. FAUCI look like Tom Seaver.



The way things are going, I predict that THE CHINESE will win the World Series before we even win a playoff series.

This is literally the worst Pirates team I can remember.



It is rotten to the core.



It has no strengths. Every aspect of the game is a GLARING weakness.



THANK GOD this is a 60-game season.



I'm still kicking myself for thinking 14-46. Feels more like a 10-50 team at this point.

Best 4-16 team in history!

And if we add in their preseason games (3-18) they have gone 7-34.

[GreenWeenie]

So, we suck. That's nothing new.



What do we do about it?



Sit around and see what we have.



Yeah, that works.

Neverauskas has only appeared in 8 games but he's managed to be the losing pitcher 3 times already. Having him on the team after his poor pitching in 2017, 2018 and 2019 is absurd, much less putting him into a 0-0 game in the 6th inning. Imagine what the other Pirates are thinking when he enters a game. They know in advance what's going to happen and then they have to watch it. He has no business being in MLB and by now he probably realizes it all too well. But they keep sending him out there to take his beatings. Do him and his teammates a favor and let him get on with his life's work. And after 20 games of putting his own incompetence on display, it's time for Shelton to find a real job too.

It is time to cut bait with Neverauskas. He might have had a couple of decent appearances during his time in the Majors, but most often he has not been successful. Possibly when Crick returns from the IL they will release Neverauskas. It has been very difficult watching this team play.

Dyson needs DFA’d as well. Someone like him who has no future or present for that matter on a team this terrible needs to be let go.
