The Race for .250

It was only mid September 2006 when Sir Freddy Sanchez and Miguel Cabrera were locked in a virtual dead heat for the NL batting title, each just shy of .350. Less than a year later, two Pirate sluggers are dead locked in a nearly epic struggle...only 100 points lower.
Last night, Adam LaRoche banged out an astonishing 3 hits, while Jason Bay, the Titanic of outfielders, went 0 for 2, locking the two sluggers at .246. "Wow, I had no idea my numbers were identical to Jason's", said a surprised LaRoche, "this has truly been a remarkable season." Remarkable, indeed. One clubhouse report revealed that the duo is also excited about the protential of combining for 300 strikeouts. "Let's see A Rod and Jeter do that!" exclaimed Bay, as he practiced his 'caught looking' check swing. We wish the best of luck to both sluggers in all their dubious quests.
the similarities are shocking

To think Jason was the poster child of Pirate Baseball - actually, I guess that would still work!

It's football season, Dude. Lets just hope the Steelers arent't chasing a .250 win percentage.

We are the first team to sign the # 1 draft choice in the upper half of the draft. It will be interesting to see if Timmons can push Harrison for a job.
