Rant From The Recliner


PENS WIN! PENS WIN!

Fleury 23 saves. Pens BALL OUT as usual.

Our Pittsburgh Pirates took their hot bats to the Nation's capital with one goal - not to pick up AIDS. Okay, 2 goals - no AIDS (3% there, what the fuck?)and to sweep the Nationals. The Bucco Lumber Company decided to drive in five runs in the sixth one day after 10-run inning against the Rockies. Jack Wilson fell a dinger short of a cycle, batting 4-4 with 3 runs, 2 rbi and one walk. In the midst of Jack's hot night, the Seattle Times reports that the Bucs and Mariners could swap shortstops, with Yuniesky Betancourt coming to Pittsburgh and Jack Wilson heading to Seattle. Other players could be involved. Betancourt is younger but more costly, as he's guaranteed about $10.5 million over the next three years. Betancourt isn't much of a hitter or defender, and at 27 he probably doesn't have a whole lot of headroom. If the Pirates are considering this, they need to get other players as well.
Let's hope Big Neal doesn't make his first total bonehead move.
Now get out there and take the next 3 in DC and 6 in Chicago!
