Wow, a PITCHER from PITTSBURGH is the NL's player of the week - Jeff Karstens for his complete game shutout of the Astros for which he needed only 83 pitches.

I am glad the Lastros are around.  It makes the rest of us feel good about ourselves.

Astros need Craig Biggio as their manager. He can teach them all to get hit by a pitch.

That's true.

Actually, I fear that the Bucs are having a one off season and ill be back to being useless next year.

Still, I don't know what's worse: spectacularly bad Pirates (see last season), or Pirates that are mediocre to the point of "meh".

I saw on ESPN that the fans are finally starting to return to the Pirates games.

From what I hear through my sister in Pittsburgh, the town always loved the Bucs, but not like Chicago and its Cubs where 103 years of futility are met with fierce love - the fans slowly stopped going when losing season after losing season piled up - and it wasn't helped by trading away prospects and beloved players for rubbish. TBH, I think Neal Huntington's hand started turning this shit steamer around in recent years, and with Clint Hurdle they might have a pretty good GM/Manager team there now.

Bottom of the 5th, Rangers are leading 18-1 against the Twins. :pinch:

The announcing crew is pretty bored.  They're talking about snack foods at the moment.

Edit: And now they're zooming in on people in the stands who are eating and trying to read their lips between bites.  :lol:

Nice first big league hit tonight for Jason Kipnis.  Tribe wins! :cheers:

16 straight losses for the Mariners! How can they be that bad?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

It's from a German song text by Helrunar: "Narren seid Ihr, dass Ihr glaubt, den Willen eines Gottes zu kennen." Basically aimed at religious zealots.
