Tracy shows ass again

In a loathsome, cowardly attempt to shirk accountability, Tracy blames the players:

"I can't catch it, I can't throw it and I can't hit it," Tracy said. "That's not my job. I'm not allowed to do that. My job is to get them in a position to where the stage is set and the opportunity is there for them to carry it out, finish the job and win."

"I know as a manager there are only so many things I can do. I try to go home and every night and look in the mirror and ask myself if I did everything I could to do to give us a chance to win."

The Pirates have the worst record in the NL. Through 48 games, the Pirates have scored only 40 fewer runs than the competition (adjusting Chuck Finder's numbers for the big win tonight). Yet they are 15-33. Players have not executed, yes. But Tracy (head firmly lodged in own colon) has made many terrible decisions (e.g. sending Jose H. to bunt for CW with the game on the line) that he should own up to. Sorry, Jim, but it's hard to wash your hands when you're full of and covered in shit.
