Joel Hanrahan likely to have surgery.
I'm not sure if I need to say this, but I'm sure everyone likes the Hammer and all he did for this team, but I'm sure as hell glad he was traded away when he was.

Bids for 'Holy Grail' of baseball cards hit $1.6 million
Another article about Honus Wagner's baseball card being worth than most of the Pirates will make this year in salary. Just more proof that Nutting is cheap and he needs to sell to Pittsburgh area billionare who will lose all his money making a winning team?

Rebuild the Phillies.
A fascinating article from Jonah Keri about why the Phillies maybe should blow up their roster and start the rebuilding process. I think it shows that normal teams (not the Pirates) have peaks and valleys and not just Grand Canyons...

Pirates have toughest NL Schedule to start the season.
2An ESPN Insider article looking at the strength of the Pirates schedule to start the season. If the Pirates start out strong, I think it'll be a good sign for the rest of the season.

Bobble head give away!
1The Florence Freedom in Kentucy, an indy baseball team, will be giving boxes with bobble heads as real as Manti Te'o's girlfriend. Anyways, I bet Nutting would love this promotion. Empty boxes? That'll save us money on the promotion and people will think we are smart! Because ya know, if you keep on the Smizik blog, Nutting is cheap after all...

Gathering IV.
For everyone that is interested, the guys at the Pittsburgh Sports Forum have decided that July 13, 2013 will be the date of the fourth annual Gathering of the blogs, that is if the world doesn't end on December 21, 2012, right? Hopefully this will give all of you who wish to attend enough of an advance warning to get that day off or make your vacation plans to travel to Pittsburgh that weekend.

Red Sox Prices.
1Sox Detox posted this on twitter a few days ago. I find it amusing when the Smizikistan cretins bitch and moan about Nutting being cheap, that they don't bother to look at what the Yankees and Red Sox are charging fans for a game.

Jim Tracy Resigns.
4Former Pirates manager Jim Tracy resigned after a 98 loss season for the Rockies. I'm guessing he was told to either resign or be fired.

Twenty Years.
1Here's some good perspective on how long this whole losing thing has been happening. If you can stand to watch, the last few minutes are "highlights" from the last 50 games....
You guys win again.
I have to say that you guys totally kicked our asses at the trade deadline. Our General Manger needs to be canned and one good reason to be is trading for Travis Snider. At a time the Pirates...
