It's time to open the clubhouse for the 2018 campaign. It's cold and white and snowy outside for most of us, but pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training in only a month and a half. We've got trades coming up, we've got prospects being promoted, we've got new managers. We've got hope.
And remember, no matter how bad your team ends up, there's always next year!  Attached File |

Quote History Just hoping everyone can stay healthy in ‘18. I like what I’ve heard from Callaway so far. If we can keep Yo and the starters healthy, i think it’ll be a decent year. Hope they sign a second basement though, although i do like the option of Reyes. LGM! |

We need Q to find some dirt on bob nutting that ends up making him sell the Pirates. Otherwise its probably at least another thirty years of losing baseball in pittsburgh. And it doesn't matter who manages the team as long as that cheapskate owns it.

That plan hasn't exactly panned out the last three seasons, so why is it magically going to work now? It's like the choices are inept owners and management OR Nutting & Co. are intentionally tanking the team to get better draft picks to sell or get attendance so low they can move somewhere else. |

EVERY morning my 16 year old daughter, my baseball buddy, tells me how many days till pitchers & catchers report.
We Are Ready. She marks the calendar. And we will support the Arizona Diamondbacks with our heart and soul come what may : ) This year we'll get to more than one game for sure. And watch 'em all on tv if possible. Given we boycotted the nfl this year, we look foreward, more than we normally do to the 1st pitch, and we ALWAYS look foreward to baseball season.

I think the NFL backlash helped and put Baseball back on the map again... I love Football but the passion is gone for me... LONG LIVE BASEBALL!!! |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Ain't that the truth. I know I give Neal Huntington crap for being a shitty GM and think Clint Hurdle would be a good bench coach but is out of his league as a manager, but the problems all come from the ownership. So long as Butting and friends insist on only buying Has-Beens and Never-Weres when they hit the FA market and trade off the few good players we have, it is never going to get better at PNC. I was reading an article today on pirates.com about how unless some trade comes around they're structuring the team around Cole and Cutch. That plan hasn't exactly panned out the last three seasons, so why is it magically going to work now? It's like the choices are inept owners and management OR Nutting & Co. are intentionally tanking the team to get better draft picks to sell or get attendance so low they can move somewhere else.

It's like the choices are inept owners and management OR Nutting & Co. are intentionally tanking the team to get better draft picks to sell or get attendance so low they can move somewhere else. As far as the nuttings goes, look at the family business history. They owned news papers. But in the days before the internet when print was still viable, did they ever own any major market paper? No. All third and fourth rate dinky mill towns like weirton and wheeling, that didn't even have enough paper to line a hamster cage. Maybe johnstown pa, and then their flagship, the pennysaver. They have no inclination to even buy a paper in a bigger city liek a pittsburgh or cleveland. I think from that you could deduce that they never have had a winning or competitive mentallity. MLB needs to tell nutting to put up or sell. Actually I think that was exactly what happened when they had the couple good seasons. MLB did not want to see Clementes memory tarnished with 21 losing seasons, in the city he played for. And so they forced him to spend more of the revenue sharing money they beggeed for. And we see that when they play competitively, the fans show up. |
