I didn't take it like that. I just meant that Cadinals fans can look at stuff like this and be like, "WTF?" because most of them would have a pretty good understanding of the situation already and because of that knowledge not blame the Cardinals.phinstd wrote:

If this situation happened in StL, you could go up and ask a random fan what happened with the Alvarez situation and most would know enough to spit out:
Boras is a piece of [expletive].
Pedro is in a bad situation.
Cardinals did what they could, hope it works out. Boras sucks.
With this situation happening in Pitt, I would bet, and I don't know for sure, obviously, that if you asked a random fan what is going on, you'd get responses like:
[expletive] the Pirates.
They won't pay enough to sign their picks. Typical.
They suck. Who cares.
Obviously there's no need to send out the letter in St. Louis. But, I fully understnad why a team in Pitt's situation would do it.
