“Lest we forget, this is the 10th year of the ill-fated 5-year plan Branch Rickey, Sr. talked about so eloquently back in the winter of 1950 when he became boss of the #Pirates.
It is the 5th year for Joe L. Brown…”

New #Pittsburgh #Pirates outfielder Gino Cimoli warns:
"I came to play, not sit and watch and root. If they're willing to pay $20,000 just to have me sit around and watch, then they'd better trade me before it's too late..."

“From now until late April, at least, our #Pirates will sound as formidable as any of them. By mid-July there can be a better appraisal... But let Pittsburghers enjoy their baseball now, before it counts.”

“Danny Murtaugh's team is fourth choice and is combined with the Cincinnati Reds at 6-1. Milwaukee (7-5), San Francisco (9-5) and Los Angeles (2-1)…
Most surprising odds on the boards are the 4-5 on the New York Yankees.”

The #Pirates had done as well on the road as they did at home last year they would have won the pennant by eight games. Instead they lost by nine.”

"We haven't made any good trades and we seem to be very weak in pitching and hitting. Our front office seems reluctant to spend money on real good athletes…”
