Hey, ya' just gotta love Frank Coonelly for trying!!! He gets his ol buddy, and former employer, to speak highly about the job he and Bobbo are doing here in Pittsburgh!! What a joke!!! And I'm sure there will be a few, not many, who might buy it Frank. Just not me.
Bud says the Pirates aren't pocketing money. Well, if thats the case, why did they admit that the mangement made like 17 million in two consecutive years?? AND, why just last year did the team START spending on draft choices--what about the prior 15 years--where did that money go??? Hmmmm Must have had a thief in the organization!!! Call the Cops!!!!! If Bobbo didn't take it, where the hell did it go for 15 years????? Holy crap, no wonder they haven't been winning, it's the thief's responsibility!!!!
Wow, how stupid can management be?? If what Selig says is true throughout the article (of which I don't beleive a word), then Bobbo & Co are more dumb than I thought!!! What that article is stating is that Bobbo & Co are like all small market teams, but that they don't have a clue on how to win!! AFTER 17 YEARS!!!!!!! Boys, ya gotta think before you take foolish action like ol' buddy Bud's article---it makes you look worse as a management group!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's telling everyone that small market teams are doing OK. Well then, what the hell's wrong with the Pirates for 17 YEARS!!!! What, they JUST NOW discovered how to win???? Puhleeeeeeease!!! How foolish can you guys look??? Just spend the damn money, put a competitive team on the damn field, and watch the City's baseball following come alive!!! Stop all this nonsense already!!!
Hey, Bobbo & Frank, let me spell it out for ya. WHEN THE PAYROLL HITS THE $70 MILLION MARK YOU'LL HAVE MY ATTENTION. TIL THEN-----STOP STEALING FROM THE FANS OF PITTSBURGH!!!! SIMPLE ISN'T IT??
PS When you hit around the $70 million mark I'll be going to the games as a season ticket holder!!! Why so straight forward?? Because at that level of salary, I'll know (and you know too you sneaky dogs!!) that there will be a VERY competitive team on the field at PNC Park!!!! Simple boys, simple. (Please get some folks who know how to evaluate REAL baseball talent first. But even with the current group, fumble as they may, at 70 mil even THEY can't screw it up that badly!!! I'll still show up at PNC Park. OR, call me, I'll get you a competitive team on the field. Hell even I couldn't screw that up!!!)
In the meantime, stop putting this BS in the paper about how you're going to be competitive spending about 1/5th the money that winners are spending. Makes you look even more dumb!!! It's dribble and you know it!!!
