More Patheticness From The Pirates

The Pittsburgh Pirates, who haven't had a winning season since 1992 and sit at 25-44 this year, may not know how to run a baseball team, but
they know how to handle a rogue pierogi. Last week, news broke that the organization had quietly extended the contracts of manager
John Russell and GM
Neal Huntington. You know, because they've done so well. Anyway, one of the team's pierogi mascots voiced his displeasure with the contract extensions on Facebook, so the Pirates fired him. The mascot is a 24-year-old guy making $100 a month and the team fired him. And that's why they're the Pirates. (Thanks to
