I actually was optimistic about being a Pirates fan. They had a fun, competitive team this season. The outfield, anchored by Nate, was fantastic defensively. They were at least competitive on most nights. They had a good, young core in Nate, Freddy, Jack, and Doumit. They have some intriguing prospects in Brad Lincoln, Tabata, Cutch, and a few others. So, what do they do? Trade their best young player and fuck it all up.
Honestly, I wasn't even completely against trading Nate but the return for him was just poop.

Pirates make me so sad.
I was so excited to see the future Cutch/McLouth/Tabata outfield. They fucked it all up.

I think the remaining six Pirates fans have given up.

And the sad thing is that this wasn't even a salary dump. The Pirates management actually think they got a good deal.
They fucking better have gotten a great deal.

If the Pirates are ever good its going to be hilarious when everyone I know who hates baseball is a Pirates fan. Pittsburgh bandwagon fans make me sad

Not even getting an MLB-ready player, especially at SS, is bad. BAD.

At least the players are bitching about them trading McLouth. Good. They should bitch. One of them should knock Neal Huntington out.

I'm wondering what the Reds will do with Yonder Alonso. Most people thought we would move Votto to LF but now hes actually a good fielder. We have Stubbs and Frazier going to be up in the next year and a half (more than likely). Dickerson and Nix are both playing really well. Wily Taveras went from being a great signing to a waste of space in 2 weeks.

On a side note the Braves are my favorite NL team and it was a great deal for them.
