How about them Buccos!!!!!!

... I surely agree on yer opinion with most of this, Char. ...

Always seem to have a LOW payroll while trying to catch lightning
on a slow day. ... I did some checking, and it seem that they
followed Cleveland's idea to get a new stadium built:

"IF we had a NEW (tax-payer funded) stadium - we could then have
the revenues to COMPETE."

... And NOW look where our Pirate lads are! ... ...

... A couple of Wins with some timely hitting and decent pitching.
Need to push to get back to .500 - even record. ...

Don't hold your breath guys. I hate to say this, but this will end like many previous years.

.. You're certainly right today, mate.

... No runs ... NO HITS! ... No Hope...

... Rowdy Tellez got a inning in pitching. ... So I'm gonna
recommend to Shelty there a few more potential pitchers
who can't do much worse.

We've surely seen Skenes do a good job. So how 'bout
Livvy Dunne??

... And there's always that Kaepernick fellow, always looking
for a job. ... Or even Joe Biden! ...

... And last, but NOT least - BAMBINO! ...

It’s been fun watching Skenes do his thing, but hard to get invested in him knowing he’ll get sold off as soon as he proves he can deliver long term results.

... A Four (4) game winning streak for our lads - hopefully they
can keep it going when the Royals come to towne.

Hopefully the better pitchings will continue.

Just follow Skenes and his example! ...

I’m buying one of these

Bob Nutting has outdone himself. He DFA’d Rowdy Tellez today shortly before he would have gotten a $200k bonus for season at-bats.
Why would any smart, in demand player and his agent ever consider working for this POS??!

[bambino]

Yeah, I read that. I bet teams will pick up Rowdy and Taylor as playoff fill ins. It gives them a chance to catch on with a playoff team.

... They surely deserve the bad press they get from
a shithouse trick like this. ... Some of us held the barrack
for most of the season and then Mr. Nutting and his sad
henchmen do a third level move like that?

... Why don't they do what's left of the fan base and
the tax paying people a royal favour and SELL THE TEAM!

This exactly why I stopped supporting the Pirates in any way years ago. Nutting does care one bit about delivering a winning team or about the fan base. There’s no long term plan. He’s all about immediate short term earnings at the expense of the most competitive team he could field. I used to love going to the games and was a huge fan. I’m far from alone.
