- What is up with Adam LaRoche? The sloth who warms to spring in glacial slowness, is already clocking a .621 slugging with 5 dingers and 14 RBIs. Oh yeah, it's a contract year.
- The Bucs' starting rotation continues to be the spring story in PNC Park. With 12 quality starts in 18 games, this rotation is quietly sitting as MLB's best.
- The Third Round of yesterday's draft will be the tell-tale litmus as to how the 2009 draft will be remembered. Watch this guard Urbik challenge to start in his rookie season.
- A.Q. Shipley in the 7th round??!! Hell, yeah! Again, you heard it here first, watch Shipley not only make this team, but eventually earn a starting job. (maybe by 2011)
- So, although I totally missed the Pens game (laugh it up, Ad Rock) I need to jot something here. Readers, please fill up the comments section with clear recounts of just how good it felt to end the Flyers season (again) in such a triumphant fashion.

Black (and Gold) Monday
Wow! What a sports weekend for the Western PA guys! Starting with the Penguins' fashionable and memorable rally to sink the NHL's version of the Titanic (the Flyers), then a deep and potentially excellent draft by the Steelers, and last, and least,...will someone please break up the Buccos?!? More in depth analysis on all three pistons of this highly tuned Steel City engine to follow. For now, just enjoy your coffee with some of my award winning quick hitters:

The Brothers LaRoche are actually impressing me. With an actual offense, complemented with some decent pitching they are doing something that no one is accustomed to ... winning. Granted we're less than 20 games into the season, but I'm feeling strangely confident.
The Buccos are on pace for 93 wins. Keep this up and I might go to a game this year.
Could you even imagine a 93-69 record???
Ok - back to the lecture at hand (for all you Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg fans)...
The Pens...I love this time of year and it is even more gratifying that we whacked the Flyers again. I hope it works out that we get the Caps next round. It would be so sweet if we could take out the biggest douche-bag organization in all of sports...then take out the biggest douche-bag player in hockey.
If we would beat the Caps in the next round - I could even handle getting swept in the conference finals and I'd still call it a satisfying year.
of all the teams for the Pens to knock out, that was the sweetest. I freakin hate the flyers; all their lame fans; and those horrible announcers. "Coatsy" Go shave you fat old man.
The Pirates will be under 500 well before May ends, making us once again look to Latrobe earlier than you would wish.
