Episode 14: Slaves and Mercenaries

In which we:
-Talk about the G20 protests that whipped through our fair city
-Talk, for some reason, mostly about the horrible losing season streak of the Pittsburgh Pirates

Show Notes:

Okay guys, I’ll admit that when running through Pirates history off the top of my head, I messed up a bit on the timeline of Andy Van Slyke vs. Barry Bonds free agency. Van Slyke was not a free agent at the time that Bonds was, so the choice between them was not literal. Instead, watching Bonds continue to blossom in SF while Van Slyke succumbed to age in Pittsburgh was merely emblematic of the horrible futility to come for the next 17 years of Pittsburgh baseball.

But really, it’s baseball, so you probably don’t care anyways.
