First Rays Post

Just a short note to try and get this blog going..

David Price is looking good through 5.. his velocity still isn’t back but he’s starting to get better feel for his slider.  I’m guessing he’s working through arm fatigue and has been for a month or two now and you have to wonder if the Rays need to back off on him some?

More later.. maybe Saturday.. as I need to continue to work on cleaning the Pirates rot off this place as well as to upgrade the blog’s software.

    your a joke jake. addition by subtraction.

  • Verns said:

    now you just want attention……….

    Good, go root for the Rays…..your not a real pirates fan.

  • Joseph said:

    HAHAHA What happened to all of the optimism for the Pirates lately? You f***ing moron.

  • Mark said:

    Nice having ya Jake, enjoy your Rays LOL

  • Jax said:

    If this is a joke, it is in very poor taste. If not, then you have proven yourself a real hypocrite by announcing the turn around of the Buccos one day, then decrying their end the next. And all because of Gorzo? Sad.

  • Mark said:

    We don’t ever want you back now, and there is a pittsburgh word todescribe you….JAGOFF

  • neil said:

    I know a piece of s*** when I hear one.

    This guys bounces back and fourth on topics more than John Kerry. Must be a NC thing. Jake like Wilson and Sanchez and Now u the stink is really gone.

  • PNC316 said:

    Hard to blame the guy. Good luck Jake.

  • BadAndy said:

    You joined the Rays bandwagon while stabbin us in the back?! WTF ******! You know what *** you…..thank you for wasting 2 years of my life reading your garbage. . You are a piece of ****. I’m tired off your Doumit rants, dissin the Morton and McLouth’s of the world, labeling pitching hopefuls as 7th inning guys, callin us the Nats of all teams, cryin about how Ohlendorf’s delivery bores you to tears, and about 400 other negative things you’ve constantly bather over and over til I wanted to throw up.

    I read your blog everyday to get a dose of reality that was Pirate baseball. Now I realize it was nothing but smear tactics for your own personal gain. I hope your son reads this and knows what a real loser you are. Don’t ever ****ing write or type anything Buccos when they DO win. I’m done with you…..see ya in ****…..peace.

  • Erik said:

    If this is a joke it’s a pretty good one. With the small amount that you typed it’s probably a joke.
    If not, you weren’t much of a fan afterall to give up when the Pirates are finally doing a more complete rebuild (which you’ve been suggesting for quite a while now). Real fans don’t change teams even after 17 years of losing.

  • Charles said:

    Has to be a joke unless they ran him out of town too. I don’t know anybody as dedicated to the Pirates as Jake has been the last three years.

  • DevilRays said:

    Hey, Hey, Hey, Buccos go all the way.

    LOL

  • angrypiratesfan said:

    The drama queen will be back in a while telling the sheep it was just a joke. He’s been this jerk for years. Wake up and see this turd for what he is….an attention -seeking, slelf-important jerk. Good riddance. I’m going to post this crap so that nobody forgets this when he comes back begging for attention. I now erase the bnookmark…..

  • Tonto said:

    I spoke with him around supper time and he was pretty depressed.

  • RayRay said:

    It’s no wonder you traded yourself by the looks of the messages here. I can’t wait to read your articles Jake.

  • BuccoMike said:

    Well Jake, I guess you got to do what you got to do man. Leaving the Buccos over a trade that the Pirates will probably get the better of down the line. Lastings pacing the Buccos to a win 2 for 4, 2 rbi. Ohlendorf getting his 9th win.

  • Deal Neal said:

    Yawn. Wait until 2012. No that’s the not the year the Pirates will compete. 2012 is the year McCutchen, Alvarez, Tabata, Milledge, ect are all traded for prospects. And the same eternal optimists will drool all over the prospects they got dreaming of a future contender that will never happen as long as the same ownership group is in town.
    Go Steelers

  • Tony H said:

    This is ridiculous. I have read this blog everyday for quite awhile now, and although I didnt fully agree with you Jake, I still read your blog for the insight. I cant believe your turning your back on the Pirates. You are letting down a lot of people. This makes me sick, Jake you are no better than any other fan who attends the games to get free ***. I cant believe you’re turning your back on the Bucs now that they are trying to make a solid effort at rebuilding. Funny how you one day you say theres no turning back now that the ship has sailed and then the next you abandon ship over trading Gorzo. Honestly Jake, F*ck the Rays and F*ck You. Once the Rays dont make the playoffs you will be back with the Bucs. Since Jake denounced his loyalty to the Bucs we are now 1-0. You make me sick Jake. You are no better than any bandwagon fan. I used to stick up for you when everyone else would go against you. F*ck You! Go Buccos!

  • JH said:

    this has to be a joke….I read everyday and I certainly don’t care about some one hit wonder AL team!

    Lets Go Bucs

  • neil said:

    come on guys give him a break. If u dont like it go somewhere else. nah tell him what he really is. Truth is hes just another Yinzer!

  • backfin said:

    Jake

    I hope your joke/point works and gets seen by the right people. (Out of all those hits you get, I’ll Bet anything Nutting and the whole team has you on his personal computer favorites)

    But for me this is the time they need the educated fans, the REAL fan support. The fireworks seeing, concert going, bobblehead night fans are gone with these trades but we know better.

    I’m going out this weekend and seeing the game, **** sean Burnett, i’m gonna sit near the bullpen, make his night hell.

    And if in 2012 I.m standin here with my **** in my hand as alvarez and lincoln are dealt for a boatload then ….well….unfortunately I’ll have to angrily support it because i’m from PGH, I love my sport teams even if they don’t love me back.

  • Maz said:

    Lets face facts here…you are just a jaded never was. Peace.

    SWEET FREEDOM!!!!

  • Shaggy said:

    just disappointed …… I hope this is just a statement and you truly didn’t trade your fan-dom.

  • sam kahlifa said:

    Jake, you are no better than DK. Both self serving ‘white knights’ who want attention at the expense of the Pirates.

    Good luck to you.

    So you’re all bent out of shape that you will have to drive a bit further now, to Chicago to give Gorzo handjobs.

    Don’t ever write about the Bucs again. Your joke sucks. Good luck with the Rays!!!! have some meaningful memories…

  • TonyPenafor HOF said:

    What are you doing????

  • Lezcano28 said:

    can u blame Jake….get a life folks..I grew up in the Burgh..Greentree..diehard Steelers, pens, and former Bucs fan.. we were told PNC Park was needed to keep our best players- the ARAM giveaway proved that to be a joke.. this firesale is a slap to all Pirates fans including myseft- Full season ticket holder from 84-2004…At what point do u try to win. adding pieces to the puzzle…but that would require adding money.. And Bob Nutting will have none of that. Those that still attend games at PNC park..Good for you, your only supporting this disgrace of an ownership group…I will be back like many of my fellow season ticket holders in sec 115 at PNC when the Nuttings sale…Not until

  • TPenaRules said:

    I’ll miss some of your insights, but what shocks me is that your man love for Gorzo didn’t make this a Cubs blog. Plenty of other Bucs information out there, so good luck with the Rays.

  • HTL said:

    Did he say why?

  • Justin said:

    Trust me Ray, you will be begging us to take him back when his true colors are revealed.

    Wilbur Miller was right about Sunny/JJ/whatever you call yourself.

    You’re a sham.

    Thanks for nothing.
