Grudging Pirates Commentary, Trade Deadline Edition
If newly acquired Pirates pitcher Matt Morris really felt this way about being on the San Francisco Giants:
Morris was acquired from the Giants in exchange for Rajai Davis, Tike Redman, Chad Hermansen, Adam Hyzdu, Emil Brown, Jermaine Allensworth, and a box of slightly irregular Pokey Reese bobblehead dolls.
The Pirates celebrated by losing to the Cardinals, 6–4.
Morris had some harsh words for the Giants last week, accusing them of losing their "focus," and he reiterated similar criticisms in a conference call today, saying of the environment with last-place San Francisco, "It's been hard. You almost learn to accept losing. I hate to say that, but it's true." He also called it "laid back.". . . then by the time the first Pirates road trip concludes, he's going to reek of off-brand whiskey and spend every night choking off sobs with his hotel pillow.

From one of ESPN.com's articles covering trade deadline stuff:
"Next on Seattle's starting pitchers list were Jon Garland and Matt Morris. But Garland turned out to be unaffordable, and Morris pitched so badly, he plummeted right off the radar screen of everyone but the Pirates."
