BASEBALL!

[Dominique]

It was *I* who said a slump, by any team in this division would sink them to the basement. Well, unfortunately...it's the pirates who are in a slump.

It's beyond awful. (on both sides of the ball) I've been a fan of the game long enough to know that baseball is streaky. I still say there is alot of baseball to be played, get the slump out of the way and get back to winning and being a contender.

It's been sell outs the last two nights. Who knows why, unless these tickets were bought way in advance. I call them bandwagon fans. They were booing loudly, and then laughing. After long innings, they'd give standing ovations for the third out and the same behavior for a third strike.

Last night the attraction was post game fireworks and a concert by Train (Trane?) so much for responsible drinking.
True, we played poorly, but the behavior of the people in the seats was boorish. I was embarrassed to be a real fan.

I still believe. Go Pirates!
