Finally.....the Pirates beat The Brewers. First time in two years!

They beat us in the first game and really were very obnoxious about it. I was shocked to see that.

Well, we exploded for 7 runs in the 7th, they couldn't do anythiing right! And we beat them 10 to 2. It was so effin cold (58) thats 40 degrees colder than its been, it felt like winter......when we were all dressed for August....so by the time we were kicking ass, maybe, M A Y B E 2,000
fans were left.....but we made noise. It was funny, maybe you had to be there....there was a person in every 15 seats or so, and one person started it, then every one started doing it, using the flash light feature on their smart phone and shining it around because it was like a ghost town.

OK, obviously, I was out screaming, in the cold too long......good night!

It's August. The BoSox havent melted down. They are 1 game up on the Yanks. Still holding my breath tho.

Havent figured out which is more nerve wracking at the moment - the Sox or the hurricane.

Well, when they break into every television show with a weather update, using words like storm of mamoth proportion, and no storm will ever be costlier...it gets your attention.

Our search and rescue teams are deploying for the Harrisburg area now, to await further instructions. Earth quake reverberations and a fierce hurricane with tornadoes mixed into it....all in one week.

I attended 6 major league games in 6 days (includes the double header)
I got home at midnight, got to sleep maybe 12:30 and was up for work at 4:30 for a 12 hour day and then off again for a day game. At least I got to see us beat those obnoxious brewers twice. 2-0 the last game, beat them with a minor league call up who never pitched in the majors before. YES!

So, I'm here to tell you, 6 games in 6 days, was too much. I was doing nothing but talking baseball. I was a walking baseball talk show. (ah, talk about obnoxious) Also, here comes my sexist post of the season. Men can not stand a woman who can talk a sport and know her stuff. Not that I was a little edgey at work Tuesday from no sleep and too much stimulation
5 games in 4 days, water cooler talk wasn't exactly friendly. And you know, not everyone loves the Pirates like I do. I'm sure they were happy to see I wasn't there Wednesday and no one mentioned baseball to me Thursday. I'm just starting to feel human again. I bicycled most of today and took a kayak class out. Some schools have gone back, but not all, so
there are still some vacation around.

I think the pirates will have another loosing season. Breaks my heart to say that. At least we won't loose 105 like last year, maybe just under 90.

The potential to be good is there. I see it in every game. I will be shocked, as I said before, if the hitting coach isn't left go. The owner said this year is about accountablility. Well, we are the worst offensive team in baseball.

I haven't heard *who* is on the trading list, why is that always a secret....I'm Hoping Ryan Doumit (as much as i like the scrapper) can get traded to an american league team as DH and an occasional catcher. He's got a great bat, and needs to hit every day.
