Slice it and dice it any way you want…
and the numbers add up the same.
Kevin McClatchy and Ogden and Robert Nutting
continue to pull the con of cons.
And the fans just keep believing them.

I think it’s time we stop -
Hey! What’s that sound?
Everybody look
What’s going down.
No doubt…
.
Bucs win a six-pack worth of games…
and the fans are starting to think .500 again.
But don’t choke on your brew waiting for it.

Or he just might end up with a lot more problems than he could ever expect.

A. Reject the product?
B. Inspect the product and, if ok, accept it?
C. Accept it then call for credit if damaged?
D. Accept it unconditionally?
Your answer might explain why the Pirates continue to be a losing franchise.

What the heck is going on?
Lazy play, poor attitudes, no accountability.
Pride is quickly becoming a non-issue.
Who is going to step up and take control?
And when?
