Lunchtime musical interlude: Pittsburgh is in ashes
Granted, baseball life in Baltimore sort of stinks (last night's win notwithstanding). But in Pittsburgh, it's 50 percent worse. The Orioles are in danger of their 10th straight losing season. The Pirates, with a death grip on last place in the NL Central and currently on a five-game losing streak, are going for No. 15 in a row.
And here's what ownership thinks of the fans. With a payroll of about $38 million, Pittsburgh spent less on its whole team this year than the Orioles spent on their bullpen. The target of fans' ire there are board of directors chairman Robert Nutting and CEO Kevin McClatchy, who is stepping down after the season.
So here's a musical tribute to the Bucs -- an organization that refuses to part with any. Oh yeah, the June 30 fan protest referenced in the video kind of fizzled, too.

Money does not always buy a winning record. Didnt the Marlins prove that in 2006 with the lowest payroll in baseball. Granted thats the exception and not the rule.
