Hey!

Fact is, people in Pgh are passionate about baseball and are suffering trauma due to the Pirates. A franchise as storied as Pgh's doesn't deserve to die. Hopefully the owners can get things back on track. I attended a game last summer, with my son, when I was visiting my folks. We had a great time. The ballpark is awesome, the people were great, and the ballgame itself didn't seem to interfere too badly with the festivities in the stands. We had a great time - but the Bucs lost. (Statistically speaking, our odds weren't too good to actually attend a game that we won.)
I'm with the cynics who think the owners have decided that trying to have a team that doesn't suck is too much like work when they can hoover money out of clueless fans wallets no matter how horrid the team plays.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
