Welcome!

Look, this may be a terrible idea, in which case you all will have the right to criticize me later, but at 27 years old, I'm more devoted to baseball now than ever before, and I think I need an outlet for all my various thoughts on whether or not Freddy Sanchez should be batting first or second in the lineup when his OBP is less than .300, so here we are.  It's probably foolish to start a Pirates blog, but I've certainly done worse.

Admittedly, I know tragically little about how most statistics and sabermetric methods of analysis work, and I have no ability to understand pitch f/x, but I find it all quite interesting, so I'll do my best to use them accurately (read: when they help me prove a point).  Other than that, I'll hopefully say something interesting and moderately humorous about the world's greatest game, while remaining rational, except when Francisco Cabrera is involved.

So, welcome.  If nothing else, at least I've provided the world with one more link to baseball-reference.com, which may or may not be the most valuable website ever.
