Salomon Torres will not sue the Pirates and instead will leave the final judgment up to God, who will hopefully punish Dave Littlefield (FanHouse link, as well). This entire situation suddenly has me thinking Dead Milkmen:

- Pretty good Jim Morrison impersonation there. I hope those guys have a
good sense a' humour and don't take us into court.
- Uh, what's the court?
- Never mind that, the important thing here...
- You mean the People's Court.
- The... Now, that's another story. The important thing here is that we get
to the part where you ask me how I'm gonna get down to the shore.

Ahh, the Milkmen.

Bayliss or Sharpless could be the player to be named in the Morris deal. We can only hope. There's a "less is more" joke in there somewhere.

I'm quite late on this, but the Pirates signed Victor Zambrano last week. This brings things to an annoying full circle. When the Pirates traded Kris Benson to the Mets for Ty Wigginton, we all screamed because the Mets had just traded Scott Kazmir to the D-Rays for Zambrano, an inferior pitcher to Benson. Now we have Zambrano. But not the good one. And not Kazmir.

Not Pirate-related, but this story on Bugs and Cranks is awesome if you have the time to read the whole thing.
