No, it's not the strike/lockout plan, but the Pirates' DEREK Bell's plan to not go all out if he isn't a starter. This, despite the fact that he batted a lusty .173 last year with an awesome 5 home runs and a clutch 13 runs batted in.

Another jackass athlete

Edited to ring the right Bell!

Uh, Joe? It's DEREK Bell who's making an ass of himself. Jay Bell is still hot and he's still with the D'Backs.

Re: Derek Bell. The ego of some players. Good for the Pirates.

D'OH!!!!! Thanks, Jim.

Well, the Pirates responded to Mr. Bell's threat by waiving him.

Don't let the door hit ya where the dog shoulda bit ya, Derek

This Bell guy is SUCH a jerk! Another jerk is Frank "little hurt" Thomas. I went to see the White Sox vs. The G Men and caught a bit of BP. Old Mr. Thomas was ignoring kids calling out his name and being a snob and a jerk.
