Juan Pierre Quote of the Day

“There’s only one man you gotta please, and it’s the one upstairs. People even hated God and Jesus. That’ll tell you what all the critics do.”

Juan Pierre Quote of the Day

“A guy hitting 50-60 homers … that’s great, but that still leaves him with 500-some at-bats when he isn’t hitting them. So the home run is great, but just the chances of it happening aren’t that great.”

New Tommy Post!

We left Saturday night’s 7-0 blowout in the middle of the eighth (hey, it’s L.A.). […]

Peanut Butter Tracy Time

From pirates.mlb.com: Jim Tracy wants to diffuse the Pirates’ losing mentality.
I’m no expert, but it seems like the simplest way to “change an atmosphere of losing that has engulfed [a] team for close to 14 seasons” would be to WIN BASEBALL GAMES. So how the fuck is Jim Tracy going to help anyone?
