Well I’m sure by now you have heard that Mario Lemieux is interested in buying the Pittsburgh Pirates. At least that’s the rumor that’s going around. It doesn’t surprise me because Mario always seems to want to do what’s in the best interest of the city of Pittsburgh. As a business man, he of course wishes to make some money out of it also. He is entitled to make as much as he can from any business venture that he goes in to. The difference between him and the current Pirates owner, Bob Nutting, is that Mario will find a way to make the Pirates competitive and also make money.

Nutting on the other hand, can’t seem to do either. He sure hasn’t made them competitive and if you listen to him, he isn’t making any money. It has been said that the Pirates payroll in 2010 will be around 35 million, which is low even for a small market team. It would seem that the current ownership figures that if they are going to lose 100 games each year, why not make some money from it. If you’re losing 100 games with mediocre players, why not lose 100 with total scrubs? To me it seems that they are just giving up and hoping for a miracle. Read the rest of this entry »

After seventeen straight losing seasons in a row, the Pittsburgh Pirates are looking to Church and Jesus for help next year! I can’t say as I blame them, most of the fans in Pittsburgh have been praying for a winning season for years. It’s about time that Pirates ownership finally tries something new.

Before you get too excited and pull your WWJD bracelets out of the drawer, you need to know that it’s not the real Jesus, Its Jesus Brito. Yeah, he’s a minor league infielder from the Cleveland organization. As with anything the Pirates do, they can’t even get the real good Jesus! As far as Saviors go, he’s the only Jesus that the Pirates are willing to sign. If you want to know what would Jesus do? (WWJD) He would most likely play for the Yankees or Red Sox! Even the real Jesus knows he can’t save a sinking ship.

On a brighter note, the Pirates also have a Church in the organization now. This should make some people feel good going to a game on Sunday this year. Seeing Jesus and Church together on Sunday at the ballpark may be as close to worshiping as some fans will get. Ryan Church is an outfielder that was with Atlanta last year. He has had injury problems through the years, but when healthy, is a pretty good ball player. Maybe if he gets injured again this year, he could look to Jesus for healing.

While searching for information on baseball players names, I came up with a few that sound like they should be in a 70’s porno movie. These guys were all real major league baseball players and these are their real names!

Johnny Dickshot: played for the Pirates from 1936-1938

Rusty Kuntz: won a world series with Detroit in 1984

Charlie Fuchs: pitcher for the Detroit Tigers in 1942

Well that’s all for now, folks. Don’t know how I did it, but somehow I referenced Jesus, the church, and old porno movies all in the same post!

During a brainstorming session with Pirates executives, a plan was formed to make the Pirates more competitive. They are trying to get Major League Baseball to handicap each team, similar to golf, to make baseball more fair for all. Bob Nutting was quoted as saying, “As bad as we are we should get spotted 25 or 30 wins at the beginning of each season. I just don’t think that it’s fair that some of the other owners aren’t afraid to spend money just so they can win. Also the small market teams that are winning just have a lot smarter people in their front office. Why should I have to suffer for that?”

Asked if he thinks that the Pirates would have a winning record if this new plan goes in to effect, he responded with “Are you kidding me, have you ever watched us play? It’s gonna take a lot more than this for us to start winning games, I guess miracles do happen though! It may get these fans off of my back for a while though! It’s a shame, back in the good ole days, ownership was able to tell them anything and they would fall for it! Now, they actually want a solid plan and want me to spend money. I’ll tell you, it’s crazy! I can see that they’re crying on all of the radio talk shows, but all I hear is blah, blah, blah, blah!”

This is a funny video that shows a creative way to pick up girls. It’s not really practical, but still funny though. After watching this and seeing the extremes that guys will go to just to get a date, I find myself appreciating my wife and marriage even more. After being married for a few years right out of high school, me and Tammy split up for over five years. I was forced in to the dating scene and wow, did it suck!

From a guys point of view that never wanted to get divorced in the first place, it was amazing the whack jobs that I met out there. (The funny thing is that there is probably a girl from my past saying the same thing to herself as she thinks back about me!) People always say that the grass is always greener on the other side, well take it from someone that has been through it, that’s rarely true!

Check out this guy’s game!
I wouldn’t have the nads to do this and thank god I don’t have to.

Here’s a short video of our bulldog, Clark Griswold. He loves the snow and loves being outside in it with the kids. He is still just a puppy, but he is turning in to a great dog and a special part of our family.

Check him out here, trying his hand at sledriding!

Here’s a picture of our English Bulldog, Clark Griswold.

He was around 3 months old in this picture. He’s now almost 8 months old and close to sixty pounds! He’s a big fatass and we love him. Read the rest of this entry »

Ok. I know that it really sucks that the Steelers didn’t make the playoffs. I was wondering what to do with all of my spare time now that I won’t be watching as much football and I found a few videos that may help pass the time.

Here are a bunch of assclowns that epitomize the saying “stupid is as stupid does!”

Please don’t try this at home!

In an effort to save money and trim expenses for 2010, Pirates ownership has announced that the players will each be required to bring two balls to the games. Once these balls are all used up, the fans will have to start contributing or the game will be forfeited. On top of that, pitchers will be docked $1,000 for every homerun that they give up and any foul balls will cost the batters $500 for the first offense, and $250 for every one after that. Pirates majority owner, Bob Nutting was quoted as saying, “Maybe this will stop all of the useless waste that has been costing me thousands of dollars each year.” Apparently the economy is starting to effect everyone, even the deep pocketed, generous Pirate Ownership.

Pittsburgh, PA- During a rare question and answer session with Pittsburgh Pirate majority owner Bob Nutting, he was surprised to find out that the Pirates are part of major league baseball. He was quoted as saying “I guess it kind of makes sense since we are forced to play against major league teams like the Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers, I just wish somebody would of told us this before we got rid of our better players.
