War

With all the distractions going on, I wish to point out that, once again, the mainstream press is totally ignoring the war on Talk Like a Pirate Day.

I can talk like a Pirate!

"I know we haven't won a World Series since 1979, that's been 39 years, and we aren't going to win this year, but it could be worse. Take that team that plays in the Mistake by the Lake. You know, the one with the grinning lobotomized Native American as a mascot. They haven't won the Series since 1948. We've won three since then. The last time they were there, they managed to lose to the Chicago Cubs. That's just pathetic."

[Yes, I'm from the Pittsburgh area. We just don't like Cleveland that much here.]

Well, I'm from near Cleveland. Believe me, making fun of Chief Wahoo is likely to get you in big trouble around my house. Uh, and just to be clear, that was then, this is now. The Pirates are in second to last place in their division, 11 games out of first place. The Indians are 14 games ahead, in first place in their division. The Tribe graciously allowed the Cubs to break their hundred year world series drought. The Pirates, as I remember, were all on winter vacation at the time, if you get my drift.

What's your excuse for Cleveland choking away the 1997 Series?
