tBBP Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Here's the story.I say it's about time...it's PAST time. I now wonder where the Pirates go from here...to whom do they turn to (attempt to) right their ship???Guesses, hypotheses, anyone? *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeytonManningRocks Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 It's about time..........too bad they're pretty much screwed for decades. Until the Pirates become a big spender (or get Billy Beane as GM), they will never finish over .500. Oh the sad reality of about a third of the teams in baseball.

Mac the Knife Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 But you know what? It's days like this that make me question my atheism. When Pirates ownership gives enough of a damn to start $hitcanning people, I think, "Y'know... maybe there's a God after all."Who they fire isn't as important as who they HIRE though.The Pirates need a modern day Syd Thrift as their GM, and a manager who knows how to win - now rather than later. And sorry folks, but Jim Tracy isn't the man for the latter job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telemundo219 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Maybe they should fire the owner? College sports as we know them are just about dead. The lid is off on all the corruption that taints just about every major program and every decision that the schools or the NCAA make is only about money, money, and more money. We'll have three 16+ team super-conferences sooner rather than later, killing much of the regional flair and traditional rivalries that make college sports unique and showing the door to any school that doesn't bring money to the table in the process. Pretty soon the smaller schools are going to have to consider forming their own sanctioning body to keep the true spirit of college sports alive because the NCAA will only get worse in it's excess from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac the Knife Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Maybe they should fire the owner? Actually Nutting just took over as the MGP within the past year or so. He's at least giving the appearance of cleaning up the mess his predecessor (McClatchy) made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZapRowsdower8 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I'll start getting excited once they hire "baseball people" to run the team. Whoever they get has to be given free reign with no interference from Nutting. (Within reason of course, I'm not expecting Yankee or Red Sox type spending.) Too bad this couldn't have happened before the draft, some real prospects could have been taken. Once Nutting proves he is in it to win, I'll start going back to PNC Park.
