Stan Savran

I'm watching Stan Savran flap his giant, worthless mouth on TV right now because the Pirates aren't on. Apparently, according to Savran, Wigginton should play just about everyday, unless someone like Sanchez, Mackowiak, or maybe even Bobby Hill steps up. Oh, like they aren't stepping up RIGHT NOW? Maybe Bobby Hill? Then he goes on to blabber about how this team has no one to step up and get clutch hits or home runs for this team and we need to bunt, steal, hit and run, and scrape out every run we can get. Sorry, Stan. I'm calling bullsh*t on this one. All year we've been trying to bunt, steal, and hit and run our way into runs, and instead we turn big innings into one or no run innings. All it ends up doing is WASTING OUTS. Instead of wasting outs, why don't we try to put our nine best players on the field every day and see what happens? And really, how is Jason Bay not a clutch home run threat? I can think off the top of my head, two games where he came up while I was thinking to myself "We really need a home run here" and he hit it. Please, don't patronize us. Don't tell us this team doesn't have talent. Don't tell us this team doesn't have a superstar. We're not blind. This team has plenty of talent. Jason Bay is more of a clutch player and more of a superstar than we've had in years. This team is poorly run from Kevin McClatchy to Dave Littlefield to Lloyd McClendon. Just say it. We can see it. You make yourself look foolish to try and tell us otherwise.
