Whoopdeedoo. The Buccos are going after a 37 year old free agent. Why would Loretta want to come to the Pirates? He'd be a great addition to a good team trying to win a championship.

The pirates are trying to get a free agent....now that IS news...

He will fit in well with those to unproven never pitched in orginized baseball Indians

The Pirates ought to move their training camp to the Island of Misfit Toys.

No if you read the stories, the two pitchers the Pirates signed from India...thus Indians

From Fox sports....Pirates sign Indian pitchers from reality TV show

so when you make a stupid comment like the one above maybe you should be a little more organized yourself before making a stupid remark

Now that was stupid of me for repeating myself

If the Pirates went after everyone that .300 off of them - they could three or four teams!

and may actually win a game or 2

Unless you are a pirates fan...who cares?!!!

Even as a Pirates fan I don't care. The old management team went after old free agents and look where it got them. Now the new mangement is continuing to do the same. So Loretta played well AGAINST the Pirates, does that automatically mean he can play well FOR the Pirates?

Yea, right. Because us commenting about that troglodyte sentence makes *us* the stupid people. BIG difference between the word "two" and "to".

"He will fit in well with those two unproven, never-pitched-in-organized-baseball pitchers from India."

See how much better and at least 8th grade that sentence was?

Cubs saw that with Jeff Blauser, he tore the Cubs up at Wrigley, Cubs brought him in and he did nothing

No, he won't be facing them anymore so his average will plummet.

Go Pirates, that's the spirit

As a diehard Red Sox fan I would love to see my team bring Mark Loretta back to Fenway Park. The guy can still play ball and he can play anywhere in the infield, he hits well, is a very intelligent ballplayer who could one day become a great manager. Besides, I know the guy personally and can tell you flat out he is a class act. I do agree with the poster who said he should go to a team that has a chance to win it all. Well my team has that chance.

How can anyone admit publicly that they are a Pirates fan? I'm from Pittsburgh, I like going to PNC Park, I like baseball, I enjoy hearing about attempts to field a "competitive" team, I find it hard to admit that I do seem some like at the end of this losing tunnel (because i dont), and to reply to SeaBeach's comment, I'm sure you guys will trade us some Single A prospects for him later on in the season (if he does the stupid thing and signs with the Pirates).
