Who's worse? The Pittsburgh Pirates...or Terrorists?

That ain't Andy Van Slyke in center field...

This little gem comes from your e-Breezewood mayor-ette, Maria.

so...today i was reading the empty netters blog and there was a reference to the movie "sudden death." (which, by the way, has the best wikipedia page EVER--read the last two paragraphs). that got me thinking. the penguins have been in a movie where terrorists attack. footage of a steelers-cowboys game was used in the movie "black sunday," in which terrorists plan on blowing up the super bowl. the pirates?

nothing i can think of.

which brings me to my point, do people not include the pirates in disaster movies because they realize no one cares, or is the level of play so disastrous that adding terrorists to the equation really can't increase the level of misery?

Well...I think option 2. I mean...have you attended a Buccos game in the past 15 years? If I had a dollar for every Hammas roadside bomb that occurred on the field...well...I'd have a lot of dollars.

Do we not remember the walk-out last year? All those people might as well have been leaving to attend an insurgency convention.

And I'm pretty sure it was Hezbollah's fault that the "Outback" is no longer in the outfield.

Oh...and the Pirate Parrot was recruited from the mountains in Afghanistan. Look it up. I'm sure it's on Wikipedia somewhere.

The bottom line...

- The Pirates play baseball.
- Baseball is American.
- Losing 15 straight seasons in pro Baseball is un-American
- Terrorists are un-American
- The Pirates have lost 15 straight season.
- The Pirates are Terrorists

Trust me...I have a degree in science.

Hang-ging

This one...courtesy of our friends from across the Pond.

Gary Harley is a real estate agent in England. Typically, if you're a real estate agent...you spruce up the house you're showing, right? Maybe some candles...sweep up a little bit...perhaps rearrange some furniture. You take care of all the little details around the joint.

Well Gary slept on one little detail...

How 'bout the body of the owner hangggging in the master bedroom closet...all while people are walkin' around the house checking it out.

What a debacle.

I need a young priest and and old priest...

The power of Christ...um...compels you?

This from out nations Washington Post. Apparently, the pope thinks we need more exorcists.

Fortunately for us...well...more fortunately for the damned...Rev. Andrzej Trojanowski from Poland is creating an Exorcist "Club Med" if you will.

According to the article...

An estimated 300 exorcists are active in Italy. Foremost among them: the Rev. Gabriele Amorth, 82, who performs exorcisms daily in Rome and is dean of Europe's corps of demon-battling priests.

Daily? Daaaaaiiiilllyyyyy?

A different type of Congress...

Celebrity musicians.

As if the Bacon Brothers weren't enough...





Now we have Jeff F-ing Daniels.



Be sure to catch "Dirty Harry Blues"...as song about being shot by Clint Eastwood. Please...somebody cut my head off.

e-Breezewood Alert

A new segment I shall call... "e-Breezewood Alert"

More news in the string of bad ideas from the Buccos....

Pittsburgh's old pal Sid Bream....yes...THAT Sid Bream...has been named assistant coach to the Bucco's farm team in State College.

For those Yinzer's who love to relive painful memories...here's the recap from Wikipedia.

The Pirates carried a 2-0 lead into the bottom of the ninth inning under the pitching of their ace, Doug Drabek, needing just three outs to make the World Series. However, Drabek gave up a leadoff double to Terry Pendleton, then allowed another runner (David Justice) on an infield error by second baseman Jose Lind. After Drabek walked Bream to load the bases, Pirates manager Jim Leyland pulled him out of the game. Reliever Stan Belinda replaced him on the mound, and managed to get two outs, despite giving up a run on a sacrifice fly by Ron Gant. Then, Braves third-string catcher Francisco Cabrera belted a single to left field, and Justice scored easily to tie the game. Pirates left fielder and eventual National League MVP Barry Bonds fielded the ball as Bream (known as a slow runner) plodded around the bases toward home plate. Bonds' throw arrived first, but it was slightly offline towards the first-base line. As soon as catcher Mike LaValliere received the ball, he desperately lunged toward the plate to tag Bream out, but Bream was able to slide just underneath the tag to score the winning run and send the Braves to the World Series for the second consecutive year.

You be careful, Sidney Eugene Bream, e-Breezewood is watching you....

I can't wait for this.

F- you, Pirates

You are all mediocre pieces of crap.

Andy VanSlyke, wherever he is, is very very angry with you. Same for Jose Lind.

A collective sigh from Bucco nation...

The sadness continues at PNC park.

Quote our new ass-clown manager...

"Quite frankly, you can't really rebuild and compete at the same time. But I also don't think we're really in the position to just blow it up, and that's probably the fine line we're walking right now. We can't pull the plug just because this team lost 94 games. The fact is, we haven't been presented with an organizational-changing trade."


No moron. You pull the plug and blow it up because you haven't had a winning season "Hey Dude" was on Nickelodeon and it was hip to loop your braided leather belt around itself so it hung down a little bit.

F- you Pirates.

Spam

I received this piece of spam email today. I simply couldn't let myself delete it. Who doesn't want to get a car loan from a sock puppet that supposed to be a dog...but looks like a cow...and is holding a microphone?

I can't believe I'm going to say this....

...but Cat Specter's new picture is...well...hotttt.

That hat is still a little to sassy for me...but the overall...I give the photo an A.

Now as for the advice....

Check out this weeks column...where we hear about the sexual escapades of a 37 year old East Indian (I didn't know Indians had to now be associated with a direction).
