    Spring Training in One week

    Pitchers and catchers report in a week.

    I for one am looking forward to seeing my Orioles new infield, pitchers and newly added Vladimir Guerrero

    At least you have something to look forward to. All we Pirates fans have to look forward to is their 19th straight losing season. It's a damn shame that Bob Nutting is continuously allowed to get away with circumventing the rules, fielding complete garbage in order to make a profit. What's the point of having McCutchen, Tabata, Alvarez, Meek and Hanrahan if they surround them with crap every year? Peter Angelos used to be the same way...and yet, he went out and brought in Guerrero and spent a shitload of money to do it. Good on him. Nutting wouldn't do that if someone put a gun to his head and strapped a time bomb to his chest.

    At least I'll get to go to a few Spring Training Games. Hopefully the Buccos do better this year but they really need to get rid of Nutting.

    Yes Angelos has started spending money, but we also have been using the farm system well. I hate store bought teams like the Yankees.

    It would be nice to see the Pirates come back, these are two clubs that always used to win.

    You also have a pretty good manager in Buck Showalter. I am not sold on Clint Hurdle at all...

    The fact that the Pirates have such a great tradition is what really saddens and pisses me off the most. They were so great in the 70s and early 90s...and then here comes McClatchy and Nutting to piss it all away. We are just counting down the days until McCutchen and Alvarez are wearing pinstripes or playing pepper with the Green Monster.

    I mean we made a few OK moves with Correia and Olsen and Overlay, but still not moves that will put us any stronger than last season. I think the Bucs are on the right path, but no where where they need to be and ehh I have to give Hurdle a season or 2 to start making up my mind on him, ugh at least the Orioles will get a team together.

    Until Nutting is run out of the city my hopes remain dim.
