wow
though topical and very well executed, a gilbert and sullivan reference on a baseball blog is a rare thing. the comparison does hold with our pirates if you say, replace their inability to defeat orphans with other baseball teams.

"their inability to defeat...other baseball teams"
Russell:
Though our payroll’s pretty low,
And to the stadium fans won’t go,
We still have accountability!
As we plummet to last place,
I put forth a stoic face,
And I never lose to Milwaukee!
Team:
What, never?
Russell:
No, never!
Team:
What, never?
Russell:
Hardly ever!

You do have a day job right?
Does your boss know you’re composing poetry instead of crunching those numbers? But, lord it was funny…..

I was on hold on the phone.
Only took a couple of minutes. Sometimes, things just come together.
