Karstens Out, Jakubauskus In

The Pirates made some moves yesterday to deal with some arbitration issues and get prepared for the December Rule 5 draft, here's the rundown: 

  • Pirates signed Chris Jakubauskus off waivers from the Seattle Mariners. 
  • What we later found out was the reason for signing Chris Jakubauskus, the Pirates designated Jeff Karstens for assignment, which means he will go through waivers and will most likely never play for the Pirates again. This was kind of upsetting, because Karstens showed definite promise in the long relief role last year. However, he had gotten Super 2 status in free agency, so the Pirates were going to have to pay him more than he was worth.

Be an American

Well in the last 2 days I have read about 3 petitions that we can all sign as baseball fans and as Americans, so that prompted me to post the links here. I have no signed any of them myself, yet, but I probably will right after I make this post. Here they are:

Brown, Blass Visit Waynesburg University

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to meet and interview one of my favorite people in this world, Lanny Frattare. If you haven't read this blog before, you won't know that I am a student at Waynesburg University, where Lanny Frattare, former Pirates' broadcaster now teaches. Today, Lanny brought Greg Brown and Steve Blass down to speak at our school.

Now, I am not a communications major, so I was not even invited to this event. However, I was not about to miss this opportunity, so I got permission from one of the professors to come. I skipped two classes to come up and listen to two voices I have listened to a lot in my life speak in person.

I miss baseball season. Like, a lot. You’d think a couple months away from the dismal baseball played by the Pittsburgh Pirates would be relieving, or relaxing… or something like that. This should be especially true because I live in Pittsburgh, and it is currently Steelers and Penguins season, but those two just don’t do it for me.
I miss baseball. I miss the Pirates. I miss the losing. I miss everyone making fun of me for being a fan. I miss the ballpark. I miss scalping tickets for under 5 dollars. I miss my favorite thing in this human life. 
While nothing I can say or do can bring next season any faster, all of these free-agent and trade rumors are keeping my head above water.
