Where Have You Gone, Andy Van Slyke?
Wait, what?
I think Brett Favre's perception of winning the "Galloping Gobler" Thanksgiving Day award last year applies to these signings: "I guess it's better than not having it."
After reading their blog I've moved from bemusement to unadulterated adoration.
We went with JB sir to breakfast at a great American breakfast eatery called Dennys. Rinku ordered a breakfast aclled the Lumberjack. We now know that a Lumberjack is a person who works as a tree cutter in the forrest so they must eat a lot of food. this breakfast was quite huge. It had eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, potatos, breads, and pancakes. I had French Toast and both meals were very fulfilling.
I'M IN LOVE.
At first i thought you meant they signed some Minor League Free Agents from the Cleveland Indians....
Since they are lumberjacks, then I'm OK with the signing.
Not only does the new FO love the indians, they love indian people as well. Next thing we know we'll have Joba and Ellsbury on the team, although that might be wishful thinking.

Heres a link to a dead spin write up on them. My favorite part:
"Raw was not the word for these guys. Not only did Rinku and Dinesh not even know how to play catch when they first arrived at USC for training, but they didn't know how to work a drinking fountain."
I hope these guys stick.
This is the greatest thing that has ever happened...Nathan Panther is so very yesterday's news.
I'm trying to figure out how this fits in the article.
"Meanwhile, the Pacific have a strong interest in the military."
What does the Pacific military have to do with this?
This feels half a step away from Sid Finch.
Having spent an hour reading their blog -- the whole thing is just absolutely surreal.
Nathan Panther will never be yesterday's news... he's made with bits of real panther.

this is sort of refreshing...like the $ that i give to the buccos is actually going towards real work. or a couple of Indians that are unable to process a water fountain. either way. go bucs.
100% agreed Tim. One of my favorites, when they talk about going to the USC football game:
"The American Football players are so big and have such huge muscles you would not even believe it. Each time they hit each other we are told it is like being in a car accident. These men hit each other many times per match. praise Allah that we have won a baseball contest and a not a football one. i don’t think we could even take a hitting once."
Thought yinz guys were just jagging around until I saw Neal Huntington's comments on the Official Pirates website:
"The Pirates are committed to creatively adding talent to our organization," general manager Neal Huntington said in a statement. "By adding these two young men, we are pleased to not only add two prospects to our system but also hope to open a pathway to an untapped market.
"We are intrigued by Patel's arm strength and Singh's frame and potential," he continued. "These young men have improved a tremendous amount in their six-month exposure to baseball, and we look forward to helping them continue to fulfill their potential."
Sigh...Looks like we'll be in the canyon for another year...
Other teams are fighting for Sabathia and this is the best that the Bucs can come up with...
Well, quite beside my infatuation with these guys, scouting presence in places like India >>>> fool's errands like trying to sign C.C. In both smartness and funness.
"My kinda team, Charly... my kinda team..." - Mgr. Lou Boudreau
dude, 2009 is gonna be a BLAST. i'm taking these guys to WAFFLE HOUSE.
I just have to say that this is the greatest thing ever. I have never gotten so much enjoyment out of anything the Pirates did.
GAZAB!
But the real question is, can they participate in the Masumi Kawata Elimination Challenge?
Go slowly Zim! Waffle House will blow their minds. Better start with Eat n' Park and a smiley cookie.
