Quote of the Year?

I needed a good laugh this afternoon, and thankfully the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and newly added Pirates outfielder Jeff Salazar were willing to oblige.

"I like what the Pirates are trying to do. It's one thing to talk about it, but there are people around baseball who see what they're doing. And being here, you can just see it in their body language: They're done with the losing." - Jeff Salazar


Oh Jeff, Jeff, Jeff...you really have not been here that long at all. I love when the Pirates sign new free agents and they say something along the lines of this. Salazar has no idea what he just got himself into...if he even makes the team. Welcome to the Pittsburgh Pirates organization...Pride, Passion and unprecedented losing. We're talking about 16 seasons and counting. Get ready for all-time sports history, Jeff. Welcome to the Pirates, where the losing never ends.

I believe what Jeff was trying to say is that now that he's on the team, it's just a matter of time until the Pirates are World Series Champions. And I mean, really, this team has always been just one backup utility outfielder away from greatness.
