[Bucco Blog]:  I’mmmmmmm back!

He was eaten up by a member of the Pirates front office and then by a NY Media group. Now it seems he’s flying solo again and has some interesting news:

The Bucs may have Perry Hill onboard:

Perry Hill?  Last I heard around noon Thursday is that Bone had agreed to a contract. We’ll wait for the big media boys to tell us it’s for real before we jump with joy.
