    Would not surprise me at all if Nutting doesn't start a campaign for major renovations to PNC and, not getting them, moves the team to Charlotte or Nashville after 2030 when the lease expires. There is a group already forming for Nashville ownership, that Dave Dombrowski of the Phillies could become part of in the near future, so a sale could be in the offing.

    His management team has already started the negativity campaign with the Clemente Wall and Brick fiascos. Not to mention the relatively quiet off-season they had. I do not put anything past Nutting, especially when you look at the enormous profit he could realize by selling.

    Off to to the Reds. The NLC are a group of teams that are fodder for the NLW and NLE. Cubs and Brewers probably going to battle it out. I can see the Bucs battling for 3rd place. Ya frigging who.

    We won't be seeing any fans with bags on their heads at the PNC. Guy wore one and security made him take it off for safety reasons.

    Bucs sucking royally. I've actually started rooting for loses only because I want PNC empty when Bucs at home. F Nutting family!!

    I'm guessing come 2030 when lease at PNC expires there will no longer be a baseball team in Pittsburgh.

    Pittsburgh could end up with a minor league team. This bothered me for a while but no longer does.
    Years ago, there was a story that came out about an entrepreneur who started an egg donor service for supermodels. I think the cost was $50,000. A woman I worked with was furious about it. I said “So, let me get this right. If a man has a large amount of money to spend, he gets to fertilize the eggs of a woman who is above average in attractiveness, right? So when you think of it, how is that any different from the way things already are?”
    So we may have a minor league team. Well, the last few decades have prepared us for that. It is no different from the way things already are.

    I find myself wishing they would trade Skenes so he doesn’t waste his productive years on this stupid lost cause.
    All the public relations gaffes and putting a lousy product on the field is ownership’s way of making a peaceful unchallenged exit more possible. They are killing the team and fan base, and wiping their fingerprints off the corpse. Here Today, gone in 2031.

    I've always been an avid Pirate fan since my father bounced me off every bed in our house when Maz hit the HR. I went to 25-30 games a year in the late 60's early 70's. Went back to PNC a few times. I am done! I know my dream of a World Series is not happening. I'm actually rooting for loses so the damn fans stop going to PNC. Skenes is wasting time here. I also hope they trade him.

    Bucs score 10 for Skenes. I guess we have to wait until his next start to win another game.

    My mom and dad would hand me some money and I'd head down to Forbes Field or Three Rivers on the busses they ran for every single home game. They would drop you at the stadium and wait for you after the game. That is as dead as a door nail now
