Baseball Furies hunkered down near the Golden Triangle. Warriors got to get back to loserville. Yinz Cardinals are a sorry lot right about now an 'nat.

BTW, my grandfather, a native of Chicago, lived his entrie life without ever seeing his Cubs win the series.

Go Bucs! Nice sweep of the Cards (if you can call winning a two game series a sweep).

Will-
You know that feeling you had back in October? As a Pirate fan, I've been fortunate enough to experience it -- twice. Yes, it's been a long decade and a half, but there's plenty to be proud of (except perhaps the aforementioned inability of Bonds to throw out Sid FUCKING Breem).

We Pirate fans will root for the Blazers just because Darius Miles is a 'Burgh kind of guy.

I am actually a Pirates and a Buzzsaw fan. Maybe these teams don't really suck, maybe I just suck as a fan.

On another note, how come there isn't a "walk the 84 Lumber plank" promotion?
