Another Bob Smizik Pile On


So I was reading the Post-Gazette on line and I saw a train wreck on the left column, Bob Smizik was insinuating that the Pirates dumped salary on the mlb trade deadline day. I was dumb enough to read the comments and the majority were like lemmings jumping off the Clemente Bridge, simply spewing hate because that's what Pittsburghers like to do.

I was going to post a reply, but they have deactivated the new account sign-up feature, I'm sure that had nothing to do with people that want to reply to stupid blog posts.

Luckily somebody responded in the thread with the EXACT response I would have used...

Overall, when counting all guaranteed money that the Pirates sent out and took in with these three trades, as well as the $3 million payment from Arizona, the Pirates will be adding $450,000 in guaranteed payroll commitment for this year, and an additional $3.5 million next year.

That's from DK. The same DK that Smizik works with. The same DK that have been on the Buccos beat for years now and should be considered the expert in these kinda things. Nice work Bobbo!
