My contention is to stand pat, but "Neil and Bob" (which also happen to be action verbs associated with the two) will undoubtedly feel obliged to "tinker" with the current lineup and thus destroy any Pirate chemistry accumulated during this current streak. When Huntington pontificated that the series right before the All-Star break was the most important of the season and essentially determine his decision making, the Pirates had the unmitigated gall to call his bluff and go win 11 of 12, and probably 12 of 13 the way things look in Cleveland tonight. Far as I'm concerned, these guys earned the right to stay together and see how far they can go. At this point, what in the wide world of sports do "Neil and Bob" have to lose? That said, Dickerson's probably the first deadline casualty cut loose in return for a can of Spam, which will start enough of a domino effect of minor sell offs ruining yet another opportunity (albeit minor) for the Pirates to make it back to the playoffs. Would someone please position a dumpster full of soft garbage underneath the ledge I'm standing on? Thank you.
