What I just discovered makes me want to light my crotch on fire.
If we would have just spent a little fucking money in the off season, and kept Marlon Byrd and Justin Morneau, we probably would be in a LOT better position at the moment.
Marlon Byrd is batting .270 with 2 HRs and 16 RBI, which ain't nothing to write home about, but still infinitely better than anything Tabata or Snider are doing at RF. And Morneau, in Ludwick like fashion, is batting .349 with 5 HRs and 18 RBIs.
In other news, Pirates fans begged the organization to pursue Jose Abreu in the off season, which totally makes fucking sense considering 1B is our biggest need and we don't exactly have anyone coming out of the minors anytime soon that can fill the void, but naw, we're cheap motherfucker and had to come into the season with a lesser payroll than we ended with last season in a year we're supposedly trying to contend.
And of course we let AJ Burnett walk for pennies on the dollar, and he's pretty much doing better than the majority of our rotation at this point. Why did we let him go for little? Beats me, it's not like we fucking had plans to spend the money elsewhere.
