What they’re really thinking: Spring Training Edition

The Pirates suck. Wait. Sorry, old habits die hard. What I MEANT to say is the Pirates suck. Damn it!
The Pirates are in Florida for spring training, hoping that this is the year they turn this team around … any way they can, including embracing Eastern philosophies.
I gotta say I’m concerned about our team this year. When is the last time you saw a professional athlete being coached like he’s learning to hit in Little League Tee Ball?
The big news this year is Japanese pitcher Masumi Kuwata who is taking part in spring training as a non-roster invitee.
Well, Masumi, it wouldn’t be Pirate ball if we didn’t.
Not wanting to start this season off on a negative note, I’m going to say something positive.
LOVE the new hats! For real.

Yeah, I know you got a lot of appreciation for your Steeler photo & caption schtick. I loved it, too. But are you really going to subject us to Pirates photos all that often? Can’t you find something less depressing to chronicle … like maybe Darfur?

Personally, I enjoyed it. The Masumi caption made me laugh out loud. Don’ mock Pittgirl, round-eye.

I can feel it in my bones… this year the Pirates will cause me to drink more beer and eat more nachos.

What’s with the first picture? Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that a scene from Cirque du Soleil’s “Varekai” that they’re reenacting there?
I never knew the Buccos were so cultured…

What was the setup for first picture? “Let’s tell the black man to bend one way, and we’ll all bend the other.” Really nice, guys ;)

I saw some pics of Pirates Spring training posted on the Post-Gazette website, and I just noticed that Dave Littlefield kind of looks like Vince McMahon from WWE Wrestling.

Hockey, hockey, hockey!!
