The Pirates need a new approach

My beloved Pittsburgh Pirates. One of the most storied professional baseball teams in the entire sport. Screw the Yankees. They come from New York. Half the free world lived there back when the Yankees were in their hayday with Babe Ruth so of course they are going to be popular. The Pittsburgh Pirates did it strictly with their good baseball. Nowadays the Yankees can't even buy a championship. What makes Pirates fans think they can? Pittsburghs management needs to spend more money and not be so content to lose. It's not fun for me to spend 150 dollars on tickets and another 200 on souveneirs and food, just to watch my Pirates get beat 8 to 5. They will put up a good fight, but in the end, a little less power and a little less pitching will always get you. So I have abandoned the beautiful confines of PNC Park to watch some hard chargers from Altoona Pennsylvania. The Altoona Curve! The farm team of the Pittsburgh Pirates. They are winners. The foods great. Best of all, it costs about a quarter of what it takes to go to PNC. Me and the kids have had a blast everytime we go. They are shooting sandwiches into the stands with some kind of airgun. They are giving out t shirts. Fireworks displays, icecream, hamburgers, and some really good baseball. You sit right on the field. The crowd is really enthusiastic. It reminds me of the Bobby Bonilla, and Andy Van Slyke days at three rivers. We used to go there all the time. Had alot of fun there too. These days the Pirates have built a nice park and expect that to be enough. We need to invest in a good team. Not just throw money at it. Spend it in a way that will keep the good talent here, and the overpriced premadonna assholes (Barry Bonds?) out. Pittsburgh has drafted the best talent in baseball for the last decade. Where is it all going?! Look around at the teams contending for pennants to get the answer to that question.
