mlb trade rumors reports that the Pirates pursuit of Lee has cooled off since they traded for McGehee.
That's it. Rant ON motherfuckers.
McGehee is abso-fucking-lutely NOT a 'solution' at first base. You want to call him a bounceback candidate? Fine. Insurance for Alvarez at third? Fine. Bench pickup? Fine. Platoon player? Fine.
But don't go telling your fans that Casey fucking McGehee is your solution at first base. Shit - he's not even half of a solution. Even as the weak half of a platoon with Jones we'd still be getting shit production from our firstbasemen. What the fuck is up with this shit for brains general manager?
OH and the worst part is that I would've been pissed if Derek Lee was their solution. Derek Lee isn't even a good solution, but at least he's a competent player who has an outside shot at a big year. I'm sitting here all week thinking "Gee I wonder if the Pirates are really going to get someone better than Lee or if Lee will be the new Overbay?"
I hate this shit. Even when my expectations for the team are low that ginger-haired con-man still finds a way to disappoint me. What kind of fucked up moron thinks that making a trade for a backup third-baseman is also the solution to the gaping chasm at first? I mean - Jesus-tittyfucking Christ you'd think he'd learn eventually. First base is the place where you put your guys who can hit the ball. It's not the place where you put contact-hitting vets whose career is almost done. It's not the place where you put failed catching prospects who never would've been a prospect in the first place if there wasn't some misplaced hope that he could stay behind the plate. It's not the place where you put fat converted third-basemen who sucked balls all of 2011 either. Shit. Even if by some miracle McGehee or Clement or Jones or whatever odd fucker just tears the cover off the ball I wouldn't take it as proof of that ginger fucks success. I'd say that he succeeded in spite of his stupid decision-making.

Ya know what? I hope I'm over-reacting. Really do. I hope ginger pulls something halfway encouraging out of his ass and we can all laugh at my expense.
But I'm not holding my breath.
