Oh, and to add sprinkles to the bloody corpses:
Team Genocide is the same team that, for at least two seasons, sold their tickets to scal ticket brokers before letting their loyal season ticket holders have a chance.

1.) Team name is a racial slur on a people that our government literally tried to wipe from the face of the Earth, by killing them all.
2.) They sue a 72-year-old woman because she can no longer pay for season tickets, even though she is a lifelong fan of a team with a name that evokes the near-genocide of a people and the taking of their land by force, by killing most of them.
3.) Team genocide wins, financially ruining someone's grandma. Oh, and by the way, the name of this team -- in the year 2009 -- is a literal racial slur on the same level as "nigger", "spic", and "kike". And this is a team based in the capital city of the government that tried to wipe said people from the face of the Earth, by killing them all.
4.) I hope you go 0-17. That's right, I hope you somehow lose an extra game. For the fucking Indians, and someone's grandma.

They were going to stiff him on the tip? That's a five-minute major right there.

FWIW, while I love wearing Greek pastries on my face, I think WeedyMcSmokey meant balaclava (which I also love eating).

That was an unbelievable game.
It's a great year to be a Pittsburgh sports fan.

As a Pirates fan who moved to northern Florida this year, I've really become a Rays fan. Because the Rays are the team that the Pirates should have been years ago -- the team that chucked pretty much everything but the ballpark and rebuilt everything in a way to make it work. I guess the Rays are my vicarious Pirates.
Besides, if there's anything the playoffs need, it's more cowbell.

This is cool. Unfortunately, it looks like I'll never get to see a Steelers game down here.

Are we really debating the movie Flubber in this thread?

If only Billy Bean hadn't single-handedly built that basket...

Oh, man, those Formula 1 guys are hilariously bad. Every time there's even the mildest skid, you hear them go "OOOAHAAHAAA!!!" It's like listening to a broadcast by Jerry Lewis. And why do they need three announcers? They all talk over each other (usually with "OOOAUAAAAUAUAAOAA!!!"). It's the most amateurish announcing I think I've heard in professional sports.

Aw, you know what? Despite the ending, that was an awesome (ending of) two games. I remembered this week that I like hockey and should watch more of it.

The entire concept of the MLB blackout baffles me. "Since this team doesn't sell out their games, we will stop showing them to the fans who can make it to the stadium. That way, uh, wait..." Major League Baseball is the most anti-fan league in all of sports, worldwide. Also, Slingbox is no more illegal than taping a game and taking it with you to a hotel room 2000 miles away (yeah, MLB probably says that's illegal too, but then they say playing fantasy league is illegal -- because they hold contept for their own fans).

Limbaugh, Blues Owner Make Bid to Buy St. Louis Rams
it's getting harder and harder to be a conservative white guy in America these days.
That's a good thing. The smaller the Archie Bunker contingent gets, the better off our country is.
Back when Rush made his McNabb statement, I knew he'd get a lot of heat for it, but the man was just stating his opinion.
"Black people should go back to Africa" is also an opinion.
