How about those Pirates

Hi all! I didn't disappear JUST because the rockies are struggling. It's been a hectic summer.

Just wanted to drop in and say hi!

I continue to find it difficult to concentrate on baseball out on the field.

For example, today the news is that one Frank McCourt will not be allowed to leverage a team called Los Angeles Dodgers to pay out to attorneys, his ex (or soon to be ex) wife, and himself by selling the future of his team to a hedge fund.

What's the purpose of owning a Major League Baseball team if you can't bleed it to near death on occasion? Why bother being rich if you can't flaunt it?

We are playing the Pirates in Pittsburgh.

The place is packed tonight. It's good to see.

Just won the first game.

Super congrats to those PIRATES!! always a team I root for as long as it doesn't hurt me!

Amazing BILL...my owner wants to pay for all of his mistakes by borrowing (with no intention to pay back) money that the next 10 owners will have to pay back...

the clown outta run for congress!

Just got home from the game. Cards win 10-5.

I really hate the wave. I wish people would stop doing it!!!

BIG BIRD do you hate the wave more in the heat?...(stinkier armpits?)

Tried to give it away in the 9th yesterday...doing what we can to stay out of last.....

I think we needed another inning or two.

Baseball is frustrating.

Red Sox played 14 innings last night.

What is the etiquette for leaving a game before it's finished? I'm not much of a fan at 2:30 in the morning.

I have never left a game before it's finished.

Then again I've never been at a game that goes to 2.30 in the morning.

I hate it when fans start leaving in the 7th inning. It ain't over until the fat lady sings.

Doesn't matter how hot or cold.

It always seems to get going at a real crucial time in the game.

I wonder what the players think?

Well our bullpen is much improved after the trade yesterday.

I'm sure Rasmus and LaRussa are happier too.

Hideki Irabu dead...suicide....

sad...so freakin' sad....

there has been several jocks end their lives this way in the last few days...

sad

3 players injured tonight.

2 of our catchers and Punto who plays everywhere.

Congratulations to Albert Pujols 2,000 hits.

Against the Cubbies no less.

Good win tonight.
