It was more a commentary on A.J. Burnett's methhead appearance than the buccos! :pissed:

My first year out of OSU, in my first job, I was feeling lazy one day and didn't do my due diligence as required for the task at hand. My boss called me on it, and I tried to talk my way out of it. He looked at me and said, "Pretend you're on the witness stand...would you be comfortable giving that explanation?"

So, were you congratulating Burnett for being a Pirate, or the Pirates for acquiring him?

A.J. Burnett struck in face by ball

BRADENTON, Fla. -- Pirates pitcher A.J. Burnett was struck in the face by a batted ball on Wednesday, and he will fly from the team's spring training complex to Pittsburgh to have his right eye examined by team doctors.

Burnett was injured as he hit during a bunting drill. After the ball hit the temple near his right eye, a dazed Burnett dropped into a crouch near home plate. Players who had gathered to watch the drill gasped loudly then went quiet as Burnett sagged to his knee. As he was examined by an athletic trainer, Burnett joked, "Where did the bone go?"

Holding a towel against his face, Burnett was helped off the field. He left the complex without speaking to reporters. The Pirates have released no information regarding the exact nature of Burnett's injury.

This isn't something you see everyday. I figured he was gone ASAP.

Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen has agreed to a six-year, $51.5 million contract, baseball sources confirmed to ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney.

McCutchen, a National League All-Star last season, is one of the Pirates' best young players. He hit .259 with 23 home runs and 89 RBIs last season and made his first All-Star Game.

Turned the Pirates game on in the 8th inning, the first time I've seen them this Spring. They scored 2 runs to go up 4-1, then blew the lead in the 9th inning with 2 walks and a 3 run homer. In the 10th, they've committed two errors and now trail thanks to an unearned run.

Nice to see them picking up right where they left off last season. :shake:

Interesting how much uniforms have changed in 30 years. This throw to the late Gary Carter was ridiculous, but not uncommon from Parker back in the day.
