Slow day

So most of Pittsburgh seems to be focused on the whole Bill Cowher leaving thing and there's not really anything Pirate-related happening. Then again, not much has happened on the Pirate front in the past two or three weeks anyways. The biggest news today in the baseball world is the whole Randy Johnson back to the D-Backs trade that's almost finished. Johnson and the D'Backs are discussing an extension for 2008 and have until Sunday to do so and complete the deal. The deal is for reliever Luis Vizcaino and three minor leaguers whom I know little about. I suppose this deal will probably lead to something along the lines of, "Mr. Clemens, it's Mr. Cashman on line 2. He wants to talk about building you a castle."
