Fun with comparisons

From today's Pirates page at the PG, I give you the following two headlines:

Tracy Wants Young Starters to Go the Distance

Buchholz in Bullpen After Historic No-Hitter

Now one of these articles is about a highly successful franchise and how they're preserving the arm of one of their top prospects. The other is about a dismal organization mired in losing and how they want their pitchers to "realize the season is six months long." Admittedly, arm injuries are a nice reminder of that.
