Cheapest owner in baseball, one of the worst owners in all of sport, and his bullpen implodes in the first ten games of the season. And he wants to keep the team so he can "hand it down to his daughters".
Nutting stealing money again.

On a day when the city lost one of its best owners EVER, can't argue with your sentiment about Mr. Nutting. Sad thing is I think he has some good minds in his organization...just needs to write some checks and let them do their jobs to the fullest of their abilities.
The Tribune wrote the check. And they have a big trophy to show for it.
Those who write the checks, get the championships.
I have a close friend who worked for a newspaper that got purchased by Nutting's chain.
He told me Nutting does EVERYTHING on the cheap. Quality means nothing if a dollar can be saved.
He made promises in a meeting prior to the sale, then screwed over everybody within days of taking control.
My friend correctly predicted Nutting would run the Pirates in the same manner.
I would love to see Pittsburgh fans boycott both the games and the broadcasts until Nutting has no choice but to sell. Sure, he wants to pass the team down to his daughter, but that will change the second the franchise starts to lose any value.
Copper wire was invented when Nutting and his brother started fighting over a penny.

Last night, I spent a nice evening 12 rows behind Clint Hurdle. It was a nice evening until the Reds figured out Nova and when Clint gave him the hook, the stuff hit the fan.
Best part of the evening was in the 8th inning, some brainiac decided to show Pens highlights. Now everybody there knew they led CBJ 3-1, but it was a nice gesture to show the first 2 goals.
Watching the hockey, I was mesmerized by the hockey crowd and how they were into the game. When the brainiac decided that the masses (maybe 2k of us still there) the big screen showed a virtually empty section with 4 guys lounging/maybe snoozing.
Same city, same night, what a contrast.
Oh yeah, 'Cutch got a hit that couldn't be ruled an error because the third baseman didn't touch the ball as he was charging it. The ball stopped rolling about 15 feet behind third base.
How do you spell Lumber Company?

Truer words were never spoken. The Pirates suck. This team can lose 100 games easy.
