So, just going out quietly, losing lots of games and not making any waves at all...and then you wake up one fine day to find that the only fucking good pitcher on your team just got arrested for child porn and soliciting a minor. WHAT THE FLYING FUCK IS HAPPENING?!?!?!?!?!?!

Vasquez is a pedo. I wonder if he knows central ohio weatherman Mike Davis, as he got pooped for child porn.

ESPN reporting that charging documents indicate that Vasquez confessed.

At least, to find one tiny silver lining in the shit-show this season turned into, they beat the Cubs on the night the Cubs were eliminated from post-season contention. Because the Cubs and their fans can all choke on extra-large bags of dicks.

Hurdle gets the scapegoat treatment, while Cunt-ington stays and Nutting still owns the team. Hurdle wasn't always the best manager, often made bizarre decisions and played mediocre vets over potential prospects in meaningless situations too much for my liking (IMO, a good manager for a good team, but not so much for a bad one), but the situation the team is in is far more on those above him than him. The lack of payroll in comparison to other teams is on the cheap-ass owner and a couple stupid trades (Hey, Tampa Bay...YOU'RE WELCOME!!!) and the mere fact that the organization as a whole has been abysmal in developing pitchers over the past few years, with Cole, Morton and Glasnow not wasting much time in going from mediocre/stagnant to bad with Pittsburgh to being very good at other places.

Maybe there will be improvement with Bannister (assuming he's the pick) at the helm, but with the apathy and incompetence above him, unless something changes there, it's hard to be overly optimistic about the near future.

Very disappointed in the Bucs for letting Hurdle go ….good guy/manager.  With the organization’s unwillingness/inability to spend $$$, he did all anyone can do.

 

Also, congrats to Steve Blass on his 60 year run with the ball club; best wishes.
