Try to picture, if possible, how removed one has to be from reality -- or from giving a crap -- for that to be the case in a place like Pittsburgh.
Major League Baseball needs a salary cap in the worst way, and nobody's supported that more vocally than I have over the years. But let me make this clear: That could only ever represent a start to addressing all that ails this franchise. Only a top-to-bottom enema achieves that.

The Pirates have lost 10 of 11, they're 21 games under .500, they're now being double-digit obliterated by the American League's worst team, they're on the verge of being swept by Major League Baseball's only team without a sweep, an airplane's been flying over PNC Park admonishing the owner to sell the team, thousands in attendance were chanting for the same ... and not a damned thing will be done about it today.
Or tomorrow. Or next week. Or next month.
