Off Day Entertainment

On this dreary off day with no impending Bucco loss coming tonight, I thought I'd share with you a brilliant proposal for team song that found it's way to my inbox today, courtesy of reader Nate from South Park. Nate has re-worked the lyrics of Beck's "Loser" to fit the plight of a Pirates fan. Nate's lyrics follow and just for fun, I dug up Beck's original video on YouTube and posted it in below the new lyrics.
In the time of McClatchy and the McNuttings
Littlefield, Tracy, and the rest of their buddies
Rakin' in pennies but not winnin' any games
Makes the City of Champions just go insane
With a cellar dweller payroll, they're rakin' in the profits
Laughin' at the fans, while they're pickin' their pockets
The team's in trouble with a capital "T"
But with the All-Star Game it don't matter you see
Cause in rolls the dough, so the fat cats will smile
Enjoyin' the season while they count their money pile
And don't believe the owners with their media blitz
There weren't other teams wantin' Randa or Burnitz
So until there's an owner who cares about a ring
Join the Pittsburgh Pirate and together with him sing

Soy un perderdor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?
(double-barrel buckshot)
Soy un perderdor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?

Please, forces of evil, leave in the night
Sell to Mark Cuban and make things right
Cause Mark's got the money and he's got the brains
Things will be much better with him at the reins
He'll spend enough money to field a winning team
Something we've not seen since the scoring of Sid Bream
The Mighty Pittsburgh Pirates once again will set sail
And in the NL Central, the Buccos will prevail
So sorry Houston, Chicago and St. Louie
You too, Cincinnati and Brewers in Milwaukee
Your party is over, and we're gonna win the ring
The Pittsburgh Pirate will no longer have to sing

Soy un perderdor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?
(Get crazy with the Cheez-Whiz)
Soy un perderdor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?

(Drive by body-pierce)

Yo bring on down
(I'm a driver, I'm a winner, things are gonna change, I can feel it...)

Soy un perderdor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?
(I can't believe you!)
Soy un perderdor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?
Soy un perderdor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?
(Sprechen Sie Deutsch, baby)

Soy un perderdor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?
(Know what I'm saying?)

WHYGAVS has moved

It's official. WHYGAVS now has a new official home. It's actually at WHYGAVS.com , which means that it's the same as the old home, but I'm off Blogger now, which means that this old link won't redirect. You'll have to subscribe to a new feed if that's how you read WHYGAVS, but beyond that things are going to be mostly the same.

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...

The Pirates are talking to Mark Loretta

There are a couple of possible reactions when reading that the Pirates are talking to Mark Loretta . The easy reaction is, "Well, so long as he's replacing Chris Gomez, I'm fine with that." That's true. Loretta's a useful utility infielder that can still handle a bat fairly well and can play just about every position in the infield in a short-term capacity. In fact, he's probably a better hitter than Gomez and he can't really be a worse fielder. That may make him more the successor to Doug Mientkiewicz, which is fine by me as well. But then I started thinking. Aren't we trying to trade our shortstop away? Isn't "successor to Jack Wilson" a position that needs filled on the depth chart at the moment? I mean, I know Huntington's not looking at Loretta as a starting shortstop next year ... but what if he is? This is how the offseason drives people crazy. You can go months and months without hearing any rumors, then as soon as rumor...
