Really, that happened in the Pirates chise?
That is a blockbuster...... :shock:

Yeah it happened about a week ago.

I have desparetly been looking for the Deadline deal.

Are you looking for a certain position?
Or are you looking for a "rental" player to get you to the WS and win it?
Bonus question...What is the weakest part of the organization right now?
2nd Bonus question, how many days till the deadline?

DrMario · **Posted:** Sun Sep 14, 2008 6:30 pm

Like 4 days.

The weakest part is the Offense, but it is getting better.

Just as a help....could you post up your batting order/positions? (1-8) [not including pitcher]

DrMario · **Posted:** Sun Sep 14, 2008 7:10 pm

I don't think I can right now, don't really want to go on.

PIRATES FIRE 1ST BASE COACH, AND HITTING COACH
With the struggling offense, the Front Office has opted to fire hitting coach and 1st base coach in a mini shake-up hoping to to get the hitters going. Pirates were unable to comment on who the new coach would be.

PIRATES ACQUIRE HARD HITTER UGGLA IN BLOCKBUSTER
What a deal, I am so happy and filled with glee. We only had to give up Wes Helms, and Chuck James. I also dump off 700 Salary. Uggla is young cheap and having a good season, that's my blockbuster deal of the deadline.

Wow that is a great trade.

Now just think, if the cpu had good trade logic you'd still be in the cellar. But, Wes Helms and Chuck James for Uggla is a 1st degree felony.

Well get this, we lost our game today against the Cards, but the offense exploded in opinon, scoring 10 runs.

DrMario · **Posted:** Mon Sep 15, 2008 7:11 pm

Wow, the Offense is exploding, but the pitching (bullpen) is melting down... August is nearing its end and we haven't won 60 games... Anyways, here's how we've done over the months:

Year in review:

April: Having high hopes of making the playoffs, the nightmares start for the Pirates.
Ending the month with a modest 13-15 record, and only 95 runs scored (104 awld) the team's spirit starting getting worse.....

May: Nothing was better about this month, everything.... Worse, finishing with one win less than April (12-16) we scored more runs (128) but alwd more, 127.

June: Still we struggled and spirits went down, but June would go down as the best month for us, finishing 13-13 scoring only 120 runs but allowing season low 90 runs. As pitching improved, hitters went down....

July: This would be the worst month for the Pirates, with a 10-15 record, scoring 117 and allowing season high 130 runs.

Aaust, Offense is improving TEN-FOLD! Pitching is getting their too, with giving up 93 runs (20 my fault) it's to little to late for the Pirates...

next year...

Whats your record as of start of September? :?:

DrMario · **Posted:** Mon Sep 15, 2008 9:38 pm

Like, 60-??

But now we are dominating Sept, just took series against first place Brewers are on 3 game winning streak, now 67-??. 6 back of first, 6 left with the Brewers, they have magic # at 15... 5 games back of WC, we play alot of division this month, I think with a miracle we may be able to squeak into the playoffs.
