Morning Quickies....


To Absent Friends: A melancholy happy trails to ex-Pirate Jose Pagan, dead at age 76. Who remembers that Pagan drove in the winning run in Game 7 of the 1971 World Series? RIP

Listening to the know-it-all gasbags, both hosts and callers, authoritatively saying how the Pirates "blew it" with the selection of Gerrit Cole is yet another reminder as to why I listen to sports talk radio with less and less frequency these days,

What mess that whole football situation is down at West Virginia University. Another proof that the whole concept of naming a "coach-in-waiting" is a ridiculous idea. As my WVU correspondent Jim Hinerman reports, who would ever have thought that Bob Huggins would be the least of the WVU athletic department's problems!

Sorry to see that Dejan Kovacevic is leaving the PG for the Trib.

How about that come-from-behind win over the Diamondbacks last night? Doubt that that would have ever happened in 2010.
