HW Readers Poll: Who's to Blame?

Who do you think is to blame for 13 consecutive losing seasons of Pirates baseball?

Rank in order:
1. ownership (McClatchy, Nutting Sr. and Jr., etc.)
2. Cam Bonifay
3. Dave Littlefield
4. the players

Rowdy often suggests the players are the most to blame, which I call "crazy talk".

I'll start the voting with 1-2-3-4. The McNutting's miserly ways effectively guarantee failure year in and year out. DL is not good, but Cam was much worse. The players are usually collectively overmatched, and thus, despite their noble efforts, bear relatively minimal blame for the team's final record.
