Especially given that I’ve lived in Utah my whole life.

it's unbelievably huge here right now

and for good reason. the only problem is about 90% of the “fans” have no idea what they’re talking about—they’re fair weather fans and pumped once the Pens get to the playoffs.

I still watch the Pirates (mostly) anyway….sigh…

Yeah...

I’d be a fair weather fan, but I’m not really rooting for one side or another.
I’ll have to find a team to root for somehow.

I have no idea about hockey though… I understand 2 rules (icing, goalie interference… which is kinda stupid at times), and know the full names of like 2 players (Sidney Crosby, Chris Osgood) in the NHL.

Anyhow… it’s time for the Pirates to get started now. I’m sick of waiting.

Sorry if this has been asked, but

...what is tonight’s attendance on a cold drizzly night where everyone in town is watching the Penguins?

by Trogluddite on Jun 4, 2008 9:24 PM EDT reply actions  

Take the number of free tickets they were offering

And subtract it frrom itself.

The Utah Jazz. The Jazz... duh.
The best NBA team in Utah... no doubts about it!
Playing For Pride. Pirates, Utes, Panthers, and more...
Because, in the end, only one team can "win it all".

I don't understand the business model

Rather than having 20,000 in the seats $15/seat (down 3rd and 1st for example), they'd rather have 5,000 in the seats $35/seat.

Another nail in Paulino's coffin!

Paulino will have to be 5-5 with a Pirate shutout tomorrow to have any chance of staying.

Good news

I would have no problem releasing joggin’ Ronnie.

His return is based on getting some at bats

unfortunately…Altoona has been delayed 2.5 hours tonight.

At least

Crosby will finally be able to shave off that ridiculous pube-stash after tonight :/

I think

that Paulino will still draw his ML salary, so he doesn’t really give a shit where he is. He sure hasn’t been playing for pride for some time now.

they play thunderstruck

at the White Sox – US Cellular at the beginning of the game and it rocks.
I can only imagine hearing it in the 9th with a fired up crowd looking for the save.

My son just informed me

we have it on a CD – I’ll have to listen. Why don’t they play “Smokin’ Weed With Willie” instead?

Ah...

cool! I went to a game earlier this year, but I wasn’t paying much attention at the time because we sat through 2 rain delays. It was lame.

I went to Philly for a game a month ago

Since the Pens were in a playoff game I went to McFadden’s the whole game…...had to beg the DJ to turn one of the channels….......couldn’t thank him enough

Some (late) Updates from the heart of darkness...
  • I trust everyone saw Ollie P’s stats the other night. He & Gorzo would make a great top of the rotation.
  • Yankees have ZERO left-handers in their bullpen. Not sure if they have anything in their farm system we should covet.
  • Yankees have a great back-up catcher should we release Paulino. He will have to clear waivers when Jorge Posada comes back

Rasner…....Chase Wright….Ian Kennedy
