Getting an early start
Here's the first of what will be many such articles published in the local rags, crying "Whoa to the Pirates."
Spare me.
The Economics of Baseball* are such that it is more difficult for the Pirates to win than it is for the Cardinals or Cubs. We get it. It's true. Nobody has ever argued that point.
However, and note my use of all caps here to simulate how strongly I feel about this, IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE PIRATES TO FIELD A WINNING TEAM.
Effective player development, efficient management of resources, and luck are the only ingredients you need to be successful. The Pirates have been miserable in all 3 areas.
So, my message to the Goose Goslins, Ron Cooks, and Mark Maddens of the world is to give it a rest. We get it. This team sucks. This team has sucked. And this team will suck until new management arrives. But there's nothing the Marlins, A's, Twins haven't done that we couldn't replicate here with a moderate infusion of competancy.

The A's and Twins have proven that it's possible to put an entertaining and winning team on the field each season with a limited budget. Yes, there needs to be change at the ownership level, but I'd be getting tired of seeing "we blow" stories everyday too. If I was a Pirates fan.
