I wounder how many more Bucs could you add to the headline before anyone thought, "Hey they're all Pirates." Young, Sanchez, Diaz, Burnett and Chavez are Burning Mad at ESPN. Nope, still wouldn't have worked for me.
Is this like huffing? I thought the MLB minimum would take care of this problem and let guys move up to safer bad habits (like oxycontin or meth).
The real surprise is that ESPN spent long enough talking about the Pirates that they could become upset about the coverage.
Well, part of the confusion is that most people can't remember that the Pirates have both a Burnett and a Chavez.
But...it's true.
Maybe they should be trying to attract more inaccurate ESPN coverage rather than less, so people will know who they are.
It's not a matter of being obscure. It's a matter of these two players having the same last names as two more famous players who have also been in the news recently (Chavez with the injury and possible finish to his career, and Burnett being a disappointment with the Yankees). The Jays have a Chavez as well but, when I see that name in the headlines, I don't assume that it's the Jays' backup catcher who is under discussion.
Really, the headline should have included the team name.
The story comes from a Pirates-centric blog, citing a report in a local Pittsburgh newspaper. I don't think it's all that ambiguous, within context.
Fair enough, but I have no idea what "rumbunter" is, or what area the Trib covers. For whatever reason, I thought that was a Cleveland paper.
I probably still would have thought it was about the situation off the coast of Somalia.
The headline should have included the word "yinzer."
That would require people to read more than the excerpt posted here.
A minor league tag would have sufficed.
Yeah; they've got uniforms and everything!
I'm going to attempt to avoid their website, because I go there in knee-jerk fashion too often. Visiting their site perpetuates it.
Who has time to RTFAs?
Like "grit", only for 19th-century schoolgirls instead of ballplayers.
Career 117/110 at AAA, too. Proof positive that you need at least a little bit of stuff to strike people out.
