Not Even Matt Kata Could Save Him

So long, Dave Littlefield. I never take pleasure in someone losing their job. But as a Pirate fan, I am allowed to be happy that someone who has misguided the team for so long has been removed from the equation. Of course, when he came on board we had all the same pleasure of seeing his predecessor Cam Bonifay depart, and all sorts of hope for him. Seven losing seasons and a 442-581 record later, that hope has been long gone.

But, eternal optimist that I am, with a new principal owner who talks a good game about not putting up with the current state of affairs, and the search for a new CEO who everyone speculates will have to be a baseball guy, I hope this time around will be different...better... Could it really be worse? Well, I guess it could be empirically worse, but when it comes down to it a losing season is a losing season (to the 15th degree).
