After the Buccos took the first two games of a four game series with the Washington Nationals everything appeared as if our lowly baseball franchise would be taking a turn for the better. The swapping of Nyjer Morgan might not have been such a bad thing and our newly acquired players would start fitting into place. Then our worst fears came to fruition. The Bucs dropped the following two games on their way to an eight game losing streak. And something magical began for the even more lowly Nats. They went on to win their next eight games and Nyjer Morgan is being praised as nothing short of amazing by his teammates, a slap in the face to Pirates management that has already been criticized for unloading almost all major league ready talent. The Bucco brass, however, remains firm on its complete rebooting of the system, sacrificing all current talent in the hopes that young potential will one day win out. It is often said that things have to get worse before they get better and for the Pirates we can only hope that is the case. We can only hope that this is the rockiest of bottoms.
