The Pirates are dismal. Our storied franchise has been ruined by Bob Nutting. It is painfully obvious the team’s only purpose is to enrich him. Any dribble from him or his minions about community, love of the team, rebuilding with young talent and so on is BS.

The Pirates are nothing more than a farm team for the rest of Major League Baseball.

Anyone who follows baseball can cite countless examples of past Pirates who are having profound effects for their present teams.

The Tampa Bay Rays are consistently competitive with a salary figure similar to the Pirates. With “Bottom Line Bob” at the helm, we will never see a World Series banner at PNC.

As it seems he only understands money, I propose we cut him off. Don’t go. Don’t watch. Start with Bradenton. Then PNC. Season ticket holders should cancel. Make the park a ghost town. Pittsburgh’s own Mark Cuban wants the team. Everyone of influence in the city should turn up the heat to get Nutting out of town.

I personally resolve to take my own advice. I’m done! Our Mazeroski Hall of Fame jerseys will never see PNC again until Nutting is gone.
