Baserunning

Just witnessed an inning where a Pirate baserunner on second broke for third in a groundball to the left side of the infield. Runner thrown out at third.

Stuff happens, you say? Well, just to prove how easily such "stuff" can happen with this team, a second Pirate baserunner on second base did EXACTLY THE SAME THING IN THE SAME INNING!!!!

Please tell me how often you've seen a team do such dumbass baserunning twice in the same inning.

To my brother Jim, who is a Yankees fan, I repeat what I often say: It's nice to be a fan of great teams like the Yankees put on the field every year; it's really hard to be a Pirates fan.

FYI, the perpetrators of these gaffes were Lastings Milledge and Bobby Crosby.
