I know you equate paying players a high wage to having a competitive team but you are aware that if the Pirates release Polanco at any time, he’s still going to be paid, that it really isn’t a salary dump?
Don't confuse him with reality.


But it’s so much fun to visit that lollipop world every so often.

Are you aware that if they trade  Frazier to another team and throw in Polanco for their suspects, it is a salary dump. that saves BOB another $15 mill.




First, we weren’t talking about Frazier. You can check your “What Aboutism” at the door.



Second, you’re in favor of keeping a guy who has been one of the worst players in baseball over the past two seasons because he’s paid a lot of money? He can be replaced by just about anyone and the team would be improved immediately. I thought you were a Pirates fan who wants the team to win?

Yikes, that looks just like our golf threesome. Shed’s a dead ringer for the guy on the right.

I guess Gamel goes to 1B now and Oliva to the OF?

2 guys on in the late innings and the little guy makes another out. How many more at bats are we going to waste on him. HE CANT HIT MAJOR LEAGUE PITCHING!!!

I also was wondering who was going to play 1B. Don’t worry, our intrepid skipper has it covered.

Agreed. He’s not capable of playing in the major leagues, not even for the Pirates.

True. And a sad commentary on Tom. Maybe the Pirates should use signs similar to what Kennywood had when I was little that say "You must be this tall to play for the Pirates."

So if my math is correct, when the Brewers finish off our lovable Bucs in about 15 minutes, the Milwaukee Freeking Brewers will be 19 games up on our lovable band of little leaguers.



Yep. The Brewers are leading the Cubs and Cards. Small market/ big market…the Brewers are competing.



Bob Nuttjng should be embarrassed every time the Brewers show up in the schedule.
