The Genius of Littlefield

Pirate GM David Littlefield is vindicated, if for just one day. Last night, against the Cincy Reds, newly acquired journeyman pitcher Matt Morris revealed a small portion of the Littlefield mastermind. When Morris clocked a homer on his first at bat as a Pirate, the world saw the true genius of David Littlefiled, and the confounding deal started making more sense.

"This is what we had hoped for", boasted Littlefield as he signed a requisition form for 25,000 Matt Morris bobbleheads. "I figured, our hitters can't hit, and our pitchers can't pitch, so maybe we need to get pitchers who can hit". "This could be the start of something really big, or it may backfire, like most of our other plans, it's just too early to tell."


I will keep you posted on this newest saga.


Morris was acquired for his offensive skills

Quick Hitters:

• Is it just me, or do all the Pirate homers now come from Sanchez and Paulino?


• Matt Capps getting rocked hard last night.


• Steeler season officially opens tonight in Canton, OH!
