Going Back to Japan
hyzduhq.blogspot.com — It seems that there has been some news this week that Neal Huntington is going to continue... to mine Japan for talent.

40 Man Shuffling
hyzduhq.blogspot.com — Today the Bucs removed Virgil Vasquez, Eric Hacker, and Steve Lerud off the 40 man. All three... were on the roster for about a year or so. The removing of Lerud makes the most sense of them all. He was added last year as a worst case scenario backup at catcher. A team needs to have one and since ... (more) 40 Man Shuffling
The Dealer Strikes Again
hyzduhq.blogspot.com — It seems as though Neal Huntington just can't sit too long without making some move to shake... up the roster. Just when you thought that it might be quiet for a while, Neal goes and pulls off a trade during the World Series. In this one, he made a move with Tampa Bay t o acquire Akinori Iwamura ...

Pitching News
hyzduhq.blogspot.com — Over the weekend the Pirates found their man to study under the tutelage of Joe Kerrigan next... season. I thought they might look far and wide, but it turns out they only had to look in the minor leagues for Ray Searage. Searage has been around teh block a great deal, so I almost wonder how much ...

Moss is not Boss
hyzduhq.blogspot.com — Coming into the season, the Pirates sure did hope that Brandon Moss would improve on his audition... from last season. Unfortunately things did not turn out the way the the Pirates or Moss had hoped. Moss fell flat this year as he hit .236 with 7 home runs and 41 RBI. Hardly numbers that the team ...

Second Baseman LaRoche?
hyzduhq.blogspot.com — This past weekend brought the news that the Pirates have discussed with Andy LaRoche the possibility of... moving from the hot corner to the Keystone corner. The presumption of the move would be to allow for the ascension of Pedro Alvarez to take the hot corner for many years to come. On paper it ... (more) Second Baseman LaRoche?
In The End
hyzduhq.blogspot.com — I don't have much to say today, except that it is finally over. While it is good... that I am not going to be tortured everyday looking at box scores or watching on TV, it is still disheartening that I have to wait until February to see and read about the the Pirates everyday. I am going to take ... (more) In The End
Let's Play Two
hyzduhq.blogspot.com — Usually when I would think that the Pirates were going to play a doubleheader in Chicago, against... either team there, I would expect bad news for the day.

He has supposedly signed for roughly $3.15 million. The Pirates, by last reports offered, $2.6 million for him. I have to agree with what Pat at Where is Andy Van ... (more) So Long Sano
Same Old Pirates
hyzduhq.blogspot.com — Even when things are going good, they go bad. In the series ending, and ending of the... season at PNC Park, the Pirates miraculously pulled to an even .500 at home. That is an amazing feat. Perhaps not as amazing as Andy LaRoche having an offensive explosion. That seemingly came out of nowhere. ... (more) Same Old Pirates
Curb Your Enthusiasm
hyzduhq.blogspot.com — If you were to tell me that the Bucs would some how would win 2 of three... in the weekend set with the LA Dodgers, I would have looked at you like you were crazy. But despite the efforts of the Pirates to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, they somehow pulled it off. I am not sure how, as I ... (more) Curb Your Enthusiasm

Speechless
hyzduhq.blogspot.com — I really have nothing to say. All of this losing really taking its toll on trying to... put anything about the rest of this season into words. It is dumbfounding to say the very least. I would have never thought that the team would fall to practically 'compete' with Washington for the worst record, ... (more) Speechless

I Can't Look
hyzduhq.blogspot.com — I have to admit I really have not seen all that much Pirate baseball over the last... two weeks or so. Part of that is that well they have not been on TV and another is that what looked to be an interesting end to a season, just went down hill. Injuries are starting to hurt the lineup, which was ...
