The Pirates have resigned Jose "Strikeout Master" Hernandez. :banging: :cursin: :banging: :cursin: :banging: :cursin: :banging: :cursin: :banging: :cursin: :willybs: :scratch: :banging:
I think Dejan Kovacevic put it best, when, on the Nightly Sports Call, a caller asked about Hernandez and Dejan moaned "ohhh Nooooo! I've gotten 500 angry emails about this!" :lol:
Can anyone ever figure out why the Pirates do some of the things they do? :dunno:
Nope I sure can't. Just like that awesome Joe Randa signing last year. But Jose Hernazdez was just signed to a minor league contract though so he has to make the team if not the Pirates won't owe him a damn thing. But I know it was a wasted signing.Quote:

Yup, they had some pretty good teams back in the early 90's. Bonds, Bonilla, Van Slyke(sp?) etc. Been a long time since they were even thought to be a contender.
Man I'm a huge Pirates fan and I love my Buccos even though they suck. But that defeat in the 1992 NLCS to the Braves ranks up there with the loss of Super Bowl XXX as one of the greatest heart breaks in my life. I was 13 in 1992 and cried when the Pirates lost. I know I'm a big wimp for crying.:bluelol:Quote:

I actually met Sid Bream a few years ago, while working at Dick's, and I told him he broke my heart when I was 10, he said he wished he had a nickel for everytime he heard that.Quote:

Sid Bream was a solid player for the Pirates and in the 1992 NLCS he screwed the Pirates from reaching the World Series by scoring the winning run for the Braves.:cursin:Quote:

1990 vs the Reds
1991 and 1992 vs the Braves:banging:
of course Bobby Bo was a Met in 1992 as Bream was a Brave. But Bonds didn't do shit. Even though he did have his best series in 1992. I think Bonds hit 261 and had 1 homer. By far his best series in the NLCS with the Pirates.
Yeah, a least we had the Pen's to console us.
But Tracy loves Hernandez though for some reason, so he's probably going to make the team.Quote:

:lol:
The answer to that could possibly never be answered, the ball, and Bonds, both on the same trajectory toward home plate, would be going so slow they would force the Earth to spin backwards, and we would all die from lack of something.Quote:
