Romo Phone Home: "Don't give him anything he can hit; but don't walk him."

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.

"Don't give him anything he can hit; but don't walk him."

Wells has to be thinking, "The hell with this. Next time, I'm going back to gutless nibbling."

It's official: Our starting pitching is now a complete disaster. Wasn't this Colborn fellow supposed to be a great pitching coach?

Regarding the ninth inning: I hate the sacrifice bunt. Let Bautista swing the damn bat.

OK, I'll assume you meant it sarcastically. :-); 8:50 AM
