The Pirates, after 15 years of futility have officially decided to up the ante. They had gotten far too good at losing, so they decided to take it up a level and try to lose without actually using a bat. The results: 7-0 L and 3-0 L. Who would have thought??
Additionally, the pitcher on the winning end of the 7-0 L, Jeff Weaver, came in with a robust 0-6 record and had not won since September 2006. Well, don't sweat it, Jeff. The Buccos are coming to town sans bats! Weaver pitched a 4-hit, complete game shutout. How embarrassing.
Jason Bay, who is mired in an 11-66 June swoon mentioned the possibility of using a wet noodle for a bat in LA where the Suckos start a series with the Angels tonight. Bay said, "We are pretty much the worst team in sports, so why not try something new...you know, keep the guys on their toes. And imagine if one of us actually gets a hit with the noodle! We'd have a chance to get on SportsCenter for once!!"
Avast Ye Mateys!!
