<t>So, was NH getting other offers and turned them down because he thought the Pirates had a legitimate window or did he not get offers and is simply doing his job and collecting his paycheck? I suppose he could have believed that Nutting would open his wallet more but right now that would make him ...

<t>Blame is a tricky thing. Although, I think we all generally agree that the majority of the blame goes to Nutting. I feel for Huntington because, in reality, he doesn't just have one hand tied behind his back, he has both hands tied. That, in turn impacts Hurdle's ability to get the team to win. I...

I want to lose but I HATE the effen Cubs, so YES!

<t>The most frustrating thing to me is that the total salary is so low that the Pirates could have made a splash while still being one of the low salary teams.

So, by the time he is able to pitch again, he will be near the end of his time with the Pirates...

<t>I am torn. I hate rooting for them to lose but I do want that, not only for draft position, but to put pressure for making changes. The worst thing that could happen for the organization is to play the next month is to start winning at a .60 percent clip. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> I will turn in to...

It is enough of a novelty in Iowa when I wear Pirate's stuff that most comments are good comments. In fact, two weeks ago a guy came up to my table to comment on my hat and we talked about the Bucs for a little bit.

Also, it seem like kind of a weasily decision to have each team suspended 20 games of play. If one team was more guilty in this make a hard decision. This is too equitable.

<t>I agree that I think Kela's comments cost him some games. I didn't think the pitch was that close but his comments made it worse. He and Garrett should have had the same amount and Bell should have had the most. He is a manager, who came back out to the field and had to be restrained from going a...
