Perrotto on Overbay

Great line today from John Perrotto on Lyle Overbay:

He (Overbay) is the latest in a long line of veteran free agents who have signed with the Pirates and stunk up the joint.

The Pirates can never stay away from players like Overbay. It’s an addiction for all Pirates’ general managers.

Couldn't resist sharing that one.

A Scene from Opening Day

Need to share this item from John Perrotto's Beaver County Times story today about this scene from Opening Day. I'd have loved to have seen this.

Clint Hurdle is still learning the lay of the land in his first season as Pirates' manager. That provided an awkward moment before the home opener Thursday at PNC Park.

Hurdle was walking in the hallway that leads from the clubhouse to the dugout about three hours before game time when he saw Pirates owner Bob Nutting. Hurdle put a bear hug on Nutting. Nutting is not what you would call a huggable guy. The look on his face was priceless as he received what was assuredly his first-ever man hug.
