This past season, the Pirates Double-A affiliate Altoona Curve put up a record of 82-60 and won the Eastern League Championship. Let me repeat that: THE CURVE WON THE EASTERN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP.
Today comes news that the Pirates informed Curve manager Matt Wallbeck that his services would no longer be required. The Pirates, in the person of minor league director and Marine Drill Instructor Wanna-be Kyle Stark fired the manager of a team that just won their league's championship.
Also yesterday, the Pirates, led by the dundering John Russell lost their 102nd game of the season.
What can you say about this latest mysterious move by our Beloved Buccos? I mean, Rod Serling in his prime wouldn't have been able to make this stuff up.
