Nice crowd for Fla Pitt game

[FairWarning]

Thanks to the luxury tax, the Pirates payroll is basically paid by the Yankees and Mets. Thats why the owners won't sell.

About the Pirates attendance. The Pirates couldn't sell out playoff games when Bonds, was there.

It sure didn,t help when the Pittsburgh Mascot , the Parrot was guilty of selling coke at the old ball park.

Fans turned away from the game back in the eighty,s in large numbers .

I was about to post the same thing. Empty seats during the playoffs when they were supposed to win. If you can't sell out the playoffs, time to move the team.

It's hard to compete with the Steelers, and now the Pens, since they're winning again.
