Bucs are farm team
Well are you ready, let’s go. J. Bay, X. Nady, N. McLouth, A. LaRoche, N. Morgan, I. Snell F. Sanchez, J. Wilson, T. Gorzelanny and Grabow are all gone. Now all you have left is the Pittsburgh Pirates, a minor league team playing major league baseball. The Pirates are and have been a farm team for the last 10 years to major league baseball. They have traded away an all-star team to other teams in baseball and why? I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it’s because of greed. For all you fans in my age group of sixty or seventy years old, you will never see a winning team in Pittsburgh in your lifetime.
The owners want the almighty dollar in their pockets. They invest nothing back into the baseball club.
Recently my daughter had two tickets from her company’s luxury box at PNC Park. I turned them down because I didn’t want to see a team decimated with so many minor league players.
I checked the attendance at one of last week’s games and was amazed because it was over 34,000 fans.
How lucky the owners must feel that the fans still come out and spend their money, for such a poor performance.
Well this is it for now, probably my last letter for a team I used to love to root for and attend games.
