Romo Phone Home: Mr. Tracy: Some of this, please

In the spring of 1983, Pirates reliever Enrique Romo failed to report to camp. Attempts by the team to locate the enigmatic righty failed, and he was released. Similarly, for 20+ years, Pirates fans were unable to locate their once-proud franchise. This blog, last seen in September 2006, was the record of one father and son who nurtured the hope that one day Romo and the Pirates would phone home. That day arrived seven years hence, and now we are back. Enrique, we salute you, wherever you are.

Mr. Tracy: Some of this, please

I'd like to hear Tracy, just once, say something like this to the press. It's about time that someone in this organization--the owner, general manager, or manager, I don't care who--says, with some energy and some passion, that the team is pathetic and embarrassing and that they are not happy about it. Enough with the excuses and pleas for patience. Somebody needs to overturn a food table in the clubhouse.

What would Jim Leyland do if he were managing this team?

Incidentally, if Leyland was coaching this team, I believe we could look at his work with the '98 Florida Marlins for a template. Either that, or he would've stomped out of the job after 2 weeks of Littlefield forcing him to play Burnitz.; 1:38 AM
