Back to the GrindIt was amazing to me how much more difficult it was to keep up on the Pirates when I was in Pittsburgh as opposed to back here at home. I think most of this has to do with my social life in the different cities that I have resided in, but I won't get into that considering I'm writing commentary, not a journal. So what did I miss.Ron Cook made a huge ass of himself. Congrats accusing the player on the team that symbolizes heart of not having any in the midst of 10 for 16 series. Message to Ron, you don't speak for me or any other fan, so stop proclaiming you do in the headlines of your garbage. Ty Wiggington is upset he's not playing more. Don't bother reading it, I can paraphrase: "I shouldn't be demoted. I'm steel. The Mets played me last year when I sucked so that I would look attractive in a trade. Come on! I've hit five meaningless homeruns in my last nine games. Why would you sit me now after starting me when I was playing like shit. Plus I tried really hard when I painted my name for the PNC Park intro. This pisses me off, stand at homeplate so I can run over you for no reason."I have the typical Lloyd McClendon response; I expect nothing less from a player. If you have someone on your team that doesn't want to play, then he shouldn't be on the team. There are also some that shouldn't be on the team anyway. One other note. After being at two awesome games in a row, I got to catch the last half of the 9-1 game in the Chicago airport. Seeing my team play as well as they did, (clutch hitting, Mackowiak's grand slam, Jack Wilson smacking and diving all over the place, Salomon Torres batting) MY TEAM, I started to tear up a bit knowing how long it was going to be before I would be able to take it all in again. They may disappoint us and break our hearts, but take advantage of it guys, you don't know what you have. posted by Rory at 2:41 PM | |
