    Boras is more than an ass. He's a lying, cheating, scoundrel who doesn't understand the concept of SIGNING A CONTRACT. Here's some help Scott. When you SIGN a CONTRACT, you are ACCEPTING the terms of the CONTRACT. That DOESN'T mean you can then decide you don't like them 3 days later, unless that contract specifically says it expires in 3 days. ****in dickweed....

    How's the sport pathetic? Just because the pirates haven't mattered in about 55 decades, doesn't mean baseball sucks. You're way off base, go back to thenflforums and wait for freddy to give you a nice smooch on the ass.

    The sport is pathetic because a team is unable to sign their top draft pick because of a douche bag agent, and a ****ed up system. That is why the sport is pathetic. If MLB truly wanted a sport for all to enjoy, they would implement a salary cap to even the playing the field.

    First off, how about you blame Alvarez for ALLOWING Boras to do this. The player has control over his agent. The player tells the agent to **** off when he's being an ass. But no, Alvarez got greedy, and based on what I know, he deserves this just as much as Boras.

    And the salary cap wouldn't do anything to help this kind of a situation. So why don't you go watch your damn Pirates, because no matter how many ideas you can think of to help out your pathetic team with moronic ownership, they are STILL one of the most pathetic excuses for a sports franchise that I have ever seen.

    Oh I agree friend, I think they should have folded whenever they forced the taxpayers of the Pittsburgh area to build them a stadium. I could care less about baseball, it could end tomorrow and I wouldn't even notice. Like I said condense the league to ten teams, it would do the "sport" a lot of good.

    You obviously care enough to comment on this thread.

    FWIW I agree with you that the financial structure of the sport is screwed up.

    Really, go post in a camel racing forum if you're so butt hurt about whatever. You're not welcome here.

    Wow, I didn't realize I wasn't welcome here. I'm sure Mission will be along to tell me to leave, or since you guys bought the site from Meck anyone can tell me to leave?

    I have no idea what a camel racing forum is, but if I had to guess it must be some hick West Virginia thing.

    Kinda funny, this site has been around for 4 years and this is the most active the Pirates thread has ever been. Maybe I should stick around and post about how bad they suck.

    You're more than welcome here.

    It's always nice to have fans of all teams around and the Pirates aren't very well represented here.

    That being said, you can't really expect to receive a warm welcome when you go to a baseball forum and tell everyone how worthless baseball is.

    From the point of view of a Pirates fan, wouldn't you agree baseball is worthless?

    I can certainly understand how you can be disgruntled, yes.

    But there's more to baseball than just the Pirates.

    You're telling us baseball is worthless, not the Pirates.

    The Pirates are a product of baseball no? For 16 years we Pirate fans have had to hear about the inequality of MLB. Players get paid a ton of cash, we have to get rid of stars because they can't afford them. Yes the ownership sucks my left nut, but why in life to MLB agree to them buying the team?

    Baseball needs a salary cap, and small market teams are hurt by the lack of one.

    I doubt it was your intent, but your posts have come off as stating the sport, in and of itself, sucks, while your arguments seem to argue more that it's the business structure of MLB that sucks.

    Fine, I'll concede hitting, pitching and fielding are great. Everything else about MLB sucks little dog dick.
