The biggest night of Josh Fogg's life

The Colorado Rockies' World Series life is most certainly on the line tonight and the Rockies are turning to the one, the only, JOSH FOGG. Sweet merciful crap, they're in trouble.

The Draft

In the first round we take Andrew McCutchen . The kid put up some amazing numbers in his senior year of high school, but it was unfortunately just that, his senior year of high school. Picking kids straight out of high school always scares me. Another thing that scares me, things like this: McCutchen, who writes poetry and sings in his church choir... Now don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with poetry and the church choir, but sometimes these kids right out of high school haven't experience a whole lot of life, and when they get to the minors, they do just that. Josh Hamilton comes to mind. Of course, McCutchen did say this, which is encouraging: I prayed every night that I'd get drafted by the right team. The Pirates impressed me. They stoodout more than any other team. Nice to see that someone that will be commanding a large signing bonus wants to come here (or so it seems). I'm really not trying to bash the kid, now that he's here I'll be pullin...

Links

For reasons that will become shortly apparent, I've been working on cleaning/updating the sidebar links. That means that I've got some new links to add to the sidebar, as well as some other things for your general perusal. Cory Humes, Geeves, and Alan from Bucco Wire are all blogging again at MVN under the header Pirate Revolution . There's also The Green Weenie and The 'Burgh Blues , two blogs I should've added some time ago. Meanwhile, Dejan's series about the Pirates' presence in the Dominican is awesome. I'm sure most of you have been checking it out as it's been published, but if you haven't I can't recommend parts one , two , and three , Renee Gayo's list of the top 5 prospects yet to play in America , and everything else that DK's put on his blog on the subject enough. It's an awesome look in to the Bucs' international operation and how things have changed since Bob Nutting took the lack of Pirate presence in the reg...
