After hearing from the folks who watch Pirate games with a smirk, here is a recap of the biggest smiles in 2009. After all we do like to cheer as fans right?
4/6 - Opening Day, down 4-3 in the 9th to St. Louis, Jack Wilson hits a 2 out 3 run double in the 9th of

OK. There are a fw threads regarding free agents and the like on here, but I want to see what some possible line-ups will look like for next year with us knowing that Iwamura will be our starting 2nd baseman to start the season. This knowledge has changed a lot of things for me as I had penciled in Andy LaRoche at 2B

I came across this site while looking at the 2010 free agents. I by no means want to see any of or potential stars of the future block, but here are some moves I would like to see. I know some of these guy are out of our price range but Im bored so I put this together.

I am not trying to call anyone out by any means but I notice that a lot of the people who are negative towards the Pirates have Penguin avatars. Remember when the Penguins were atrocious? It wasn't long ago. Pe

Please excuse my laziness, but I posted some of this on another thread, but I wanted to put all of this together.
I just received my copy of Baseball America for the Nov 2-15 time frame. They are the folks who selected Andrew McCutchen

I know I'll probably get killed for this and the likelihood of it happening is slim, but I've been thinking about this for the last few days.
The big question is could the 2010 Bucs surprise everyone and go worst to first like the 2008 Rays? Its probably a year too soon, but maybe its not so far fetched. Let's break down the 2008

As a long suffering fan, I don't absolutely hate the trade for Iwamura. I've already read some stories about why this is an unconventional move for the Pirates, trading a prospect for a veteran. Isn't that why they have been stockpiling prospects? As i look at the possible free agents at 2nd, there isn't anyone within a price range that cou

The Yankees win! The Yankees win! The Yankees win!
I bet the people of New York and the Bronx sure feel proud that they were able buy another All-Star team to bring their city yet another World Series Championship. Thus, further proving the ludicrous flaw in the MLB system.

Not sure what the Pirates plans are for sure, but what would be wrong with bringing in JJ Hardy. The Brewers seem to be willing to get rid of him and we have the two things they need the most. A pitcher in Zach Duke

Our payroll is 25 million, the lowest in the majors by 10 million to the Marlins.
Our metro area can be compared to St. Louis, Cleveland, Cincinnatti, and Kansas City.
St. Louis' payroll is 88 million.
Cleveland's payroll is 67 million.
Cincinnatti's payroll is 73 million.

There was another thread where someone suggested we trade for J.J. Hardy of the Brewers. He was traded to the Twins today. I would have liked the acquisition of Hardy, although he sometimes goes threw sl

Go get Nick Green, even.s hes older, he plays a decent short and will hit 270 easy, with some pop. the others are never going to do that next year Cedeno's always hurt and Bix, I'm not sure about his bat. We always were wasting money before Hunt took over on old vets, well this move makes sense to me. you give this guy the starting job now and you gonna get rewards later. anyway great grab on AKI,

Does anyone have a Baseball America subscription? They just posted the draft recap and grades for the NL central this week for subscribers only. It would be great if someone would share some of that content. I, for one, would be really interested in their view of the SP ceilings we just added. I know Callis really didn't like the Tony Sanchez pick at the time, but they really liked the rest of

What do you want for Ryan Doumit and Zach Duke? Please don't ask for the stars and the moon just a equal and fair trade offer for both players. I know most homies value there players a lot higher than they should, I just want to know what it would take to move t
