If you're a long-suffering Pirates fan like most of us are here at BOLB, yesterday's performance by Pedro Alvarez has to at least get you a little excited for the future of your Buccos. Alvarez dropped a three run bomb in the ninth inning of yesterday's exhibition to help the Bucs battle back and earn a tie with last year's AL champion Tampa Bay (don't call us the Devil) Rays. By most accounts, Pedro's blast was awe-inspiring, travelling at least 500 feet to deep center field. The Bucs are on TV tonight for the first time all spring, and I hope that John Russell puts guys like Alvarez, Tabata and McCutcheon in the lineup to give us a rare glimpse into what hopefully is a bright Pirates future.

ReplyDeleteWell done letting everyone else have "their" team while you remain on the outside looking in, no doubt with that shitty grin on your face.
so much for my wish...pedro was reassigned to minor league camp today. he'll start the season in high-a ball.
