SATURDAY MORNING REALITY CHECK


for the twenty-five fans they have left.

After reading an email from a good friend of mine who, while on his way to watch Manny Ramirez's debut with the Dodgers, took the time to note that with a title like Sad, Silly, Desperate (and incompetent), Thursday's post really should have been about the Pirates, and after hearing one of ESPN Radio's most inexplicably employed talking heads get genuinely excited yesterday because new third basement Andy LaRoche was 1-for-2 (with an infield single) halfway through the game at Wrigley Field, and after reading a story this morning about how Andy is happy to be in Pittsburgh and playing across the infield from his older brother Adam, I thought, Gee, what a great story it will be when the Pirates get to the playoffs with them.

Which will be never.
