Let's Go Pens! Let's Go Pens!!

Let's Go Pens! Let's Go Pens!!

"Dispatch these foul beasts*
back into the abyss from which they crawled."

And while we're at it, "Let's Go Bucs!" (yeah, well, we know)

The Post-Gazette's Dejan Kovacevic noted the following about the Pirates' two best position players this season:

"Xavier Nady's 26 RBIs in the season's opening month were the most by any Pirates hitter since Willie Stargell's 27 in 1971. And, if that were not enough, his average is .337, he has hit safely in 21 of his first 26 starts and he has played a good, sometimes very good right field. … Maybe more impressive in its own way, Nate McLouth's RBI total is 25, this despite batting leadoff on a team that has gotten little production from the bottom of the order. His average: .342. Between them, Nady and McLouth have driven in 40 percent of the Pirates' 126 runs. No other player has more than 10 RBIs."
