RAVENS!!!
-
ugh. . .how about neither. in fact, if the ravens sign kurt warner and his wife, this fall could see me actively rooting for the cowboys at the ravens game this year, as opposed to being an innocent by-stander. i will always be rooting for the chiefs, and will do so again on a monday night this october. unless baseball intercedes.

Giants!

I don't really follow sports!

Dude. It's not even June yet.

Jesus...is that shit coming around again already?

steelers!!!!
but seriously, the skins have more talent, but they haven't played much together, and are making the wrong call starting brunell. we'll see on them. my impression of skins fans: gibbsgibbsgibbs he's old school! gibbsgibbsgibbs even won at nascar! gibbsgibbsgibbs
ravens are going as far as their qb can take them. again. not sold on their receiver either, but provided lewis doesn't go to jail, their running game should be solid. i hate the ravens soooo much, burn in hell art modell. and i know he doesn't own them anymore, i don't care

There's at least 20 auto races, two semi-finals, and finals in the NBA, a game seven in hockey, then hockey finals, the World Hockey Championships, 2 major golf tournaments, the Euro2004 finals, 3 months of baseball, the Big West College baseball tournament, the College World Series, the Little League World series, the third leg of the Triple Crown, the America's Cup, the Tour de France, and the Olympics, yet you have nothing to talk baout except the Ravens and the Skins?
-
Some of us without cable even listen to baseball on the radio.

Don't let the break-out performances by Jason Bay, the Wilson Boys and Oliver Perez go under your radar screen. Now that they can score runs, the Pirates can be fun to watch again.

yeah, but we don't get their game very often in dc, anyway. and i refuse to root for another team. it is nice to see some young players finally hit for the buccos, its been forever it seems. even ramirez was always a question mark.
pittsburgh will always be an nfl town first and second. pens and pirates tend to fight over third

I'm shocked & impressed that you know that much about the lowly Pirates. But you are right - it's almost enough lately to keep me interested. Even though I get so pissed off when I think about the disparity in baseball, it's awful good fun to root for an over-achieving underdog. I'm even thinking about bucking up (cool pun eh?!) and going to PNC on Sunday afternoon.
And I ordered my Steeler single game tix a couple days ago (if you're on the waiting list you get to buy a few games). I should be getting very close to getting season tix too - I think I keep getting held back though 'cause I send them a letter about every 4 months asking where I stand on the list. I received a pretty terse response last time telling me to 'quit it'.
:D

Thank you. Didn't we set up a "rule" a couple months ago? No football 'til August. Either way, talking about the Skins makes me feel pukey.

This Ana Benson is pretty hot for being married to such a scrub ball player.
Just imagine how hot a chick must me married to the great ball players, like Randy Johnson.

you gotta figure she was hedging her bets. as in, well, he's the first player drafted, if i marry him now, he'll have clemens money in 10 years.

My dad and grandfather (moms side) are both from Pittsburgh, and despite the fact that I was born in Anaheim, I was raised a Pirates fan and have deep appreciation for the Pirates and the Angels. It made for some pretty harsh memories of baseball in the 80's and 90's. Hendu and Francisco Cabrera still bring me to tears. My two first sports memories are game 6 of the 79 world series (with apologies to the O's fans) and the 80 Superbowl in LA. The Steelers are the only football team for me.
Andy Van Slyke is half of the vansmack nickname I aquired as a kid - you can guess where the smack part comes from...
Anyhow, I buy the MLB package every year just so that I can watch the Pirates and the Angels despite never living in Pittsburgh and having left Anaheim nearly a decade ago. Two teams that always seem to play hard despite being subjected to baseball's disparity problems (until this year of course) were always worth my dollars.
You could make an all-star team out of former Pirates that they couldn't afford to keep. Kip Wells and Kris Benson (bless you venerable for that - I had never seen it) will likley be dealt before the trade deadline, but the offense looks the best its been in years. Craig Wilson, Jack Wilson, Rob Mackowiak, and Jason Bay are putting up all-star numbers. I thought Daryle Ward and Jose Mesa were washed up? And Oliver Perez is downright nasty. Please deal Kendall and resign Wells, that's all I ask....

We'll call him the Ben McDonald of the new millenium.

Not sure why the excitement for Jack Wilson, 6 weeks of hitting well after a career of mediocrity does not make a player a good offensive player. As a minor leaguer with the Cardinals he was always knows as a glove man with no bat.
