Nutting does not care about winning. He's a business man, nothing more. <br>I've said it before and I'll say it again: One day, the Pirates will be a good baseball team, maybe even good enough to compete for the division. And that's when Nutting will have the chance to spend that extra dollar, to go after some free agents, to keep our own good players, to push the Pirates to the next level of contender, and he simply will not do it, cause he'll be happy with the stadium selling out to watch a 90 win baseball team. Maybe then the Koolaid will wear off, but probably not.The Mad Bubblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08771420004097664898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-81869184774264258172010-01-26T15:55:09.185-05:002010-01-26T15:55:09.185-05:00Dennis Miller has used the word on National progra...Dennis Miller has used the word on National programs in the past.Billkammhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251361958310029730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-66002849400486991382010-01-26T15:32:34.831-05:002010-01-26T15:32:34.831-05:00I'm not even going to respond to the ignorant ...I'm not even going to respond to the ignorant comments on Nutting and the Pirates.<br /><br />Although I think Jmarinara makes a good point about Pirate crowds; they have to sell tickets somehow, and based on most Pittsburghers' opinions (not mine) people aren't going for the baseball. Just like with Pitt basketball in the mid to late 90s and Penguins hockey in the early 00s, once the Pirates begin competing (2011-2012), people will come, and more importantly, come for the baseball.<br /><br />On a separate note, Buccigross is actually not from Western PA, but Eastern OH (Steubenville to be exact). Although since S'ville is considered the "burb of the burgh", I guess it's okay for him to say he's from Pittsburgh. Other notable Stuebenvillers (is that right?) include Jimmy the Greek and Cincinatti QB Zach Collaros.Max Schneiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06311596051360950065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-59692186297411397382010-01-26T14:26:02.783-05:002010-01-26T14:26:02.783-05:00Or you could just quit reading...that would work r...Or you could just quit reading...that would work right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-40415910874461328192010-01-26T12:28:41.117-05:002010-01-26T12:28:41.117-05:00People still care about the Pirates??

They are never going to get better. They are hoping to get every single player on the roster to have a career year all at once, then sell 'em all off. I will take my chances playing the powerball on a bi-weekly basis because I have a better shot at winning that and then pelting Satan with a snowball than Nutting's formula for on-field success.<br /><br />And i dont want to hear: well, they're doing their job, making money on a business.

I mean seriously man, do you go to games? We have some of the worst fans in the world attending those games. Half the people don't know the score, most of the other half uses the game itself like most of us use commercial breaks. But hey, they sure know all the words to the songs the band is singing that night. Can't tell me who's playing shortstop, but they can rattle off the names of the pierogies.<br /><br />For goodness sake, you should take a walk down federal street in the middle of the fourth inning on a skyblast night. The bars along there are full of people. Guess what. . . THOSE PEOPLE HAVE TICKETS TO THE GAME! They aren't there to see baseball, they're there to see Donny Iris (or whatever). <br /><br />Get real.jmarinarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06259942185679723931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-23393760864805373132010-01-26T10:52:47.997-05:002010-01-26T10:52:47.997-05:00John Calipari is a Jag OffJohn Calipari is a Jag OffChadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01675582850609086006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-17715375697302522692010-01-26T09:11:46.835-05:002010-01-26T09:11:46.835-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17686815125106396531noreply@blogger.com
