It's Tough To Be A Fan

yesterday, my favorite baseball team started their usual trading season. They traded away good players for minor leaguers that will, supposedly, help the Pirates in the future. That's the Pirate management yearly theme, building for the future.
The Pirates are in last place in their division, a whopping five games out of first place. Most teams wouldn't consider things all that bad, it's only five games. But the Pirates see it as the season is over, time to start the trading and building for "the future". I wish those foolish people that make these decisions would realize just how damned tired the fans are of hearing this BS about the future, a future that the fans see as never coming.
The season isn't even half over and already the front office has given up on the team and, worse, the fans. And yet they will continue to scratch their collective heads and wonder why the revenues are down at the end of the year.
Just once I wish someone in the front office would have the balls to tell other teams to take a hike, yes we are in last place but we're only five games back and we can still make a run for it so take your offer of minor league players and put it where the sun doesn't shine.
It's nice to have a dream, since I realize fully that as long as these people think baseball is purely a business and nothing else, this person with balls will never show up.
It's tough to be a fan, especially if you are a Pittsburgh Pirates fan.
