So, the Astros hand the Pirates Loss #100 last night at PNC Park. No shock as it was apparent since July that this day was inevitable.
Hearty congratulations go out to the smarmy GM who assembled this team and the charismatic manager who has led them through the '10 campaign.
The "good" news is that the squad will not match the 112 losses of the 1952 team. We await to see if they can lose enough remaining games to give JR 300 losses in his three tenure at the helm.
Did you see the interview with JR in the Post-Gazette yesterday? Seems that he hasn't given much thought to NOT coming back as manager in 2011, and that he looks forward to being back next year.
Purely from a business point of view, how can the Pirates possibly bring this fool back as manager next year and hope to generate ANY kind of buzz, much less sell any tickets, for 2011 in the off-season? What message would that send?
Haven't we suffered enough??
