Burnett and Chavez Are Burning Mad at ESPN

One of the most primary strategies is pfucking. One must know who to pfuck and in what suit to pfuck.

Buried in a Trib story by Rob Biertempfel….

  • Relievers Sean Burnett and Jesse Chavez are fuming over how they’ve been portrayed by ESPN and other media for supposedly setting up a candle and “shrine” to Nate McLouth.

  “It’s ridiculous. Blown way out of proportion,” Burnett said. “I’m waiting for an apology.”

  Chavez said the candle was set up two weeks before McLouth was traded as a running joke about the players’ daily card game of Pluck. As long as Chavez and Burnett kept winning, the candle stayed lit at their lockers.

  “It had nothing to do with the trade,” Chavez said. “It’s a friendly thing we had going on, an inside joke.”

  Neither player was disciplined by the team and the candle and Pluck scoreboard remain at their lockers.

Isn’t it hilarious how so many people in this town portrayed the Pirates clubhouse after the Nate McClouth trade?  I trust Burnett and Chavez get an apology, but I seriously doubt it will happen.
