> What you don’t seem to realize is that noone gives a fucks less about a team that is comfortable being losers. They trade away any hope of having a decent team and call it a rebuilding process, that’s a bunch of shit. Management wants their money and knows they can never be competitive with the current situation so they make it up with a dirt cheap roster. That is fine for the people in the pirates organization who are making the money, but it sucks for the fans.
