Wake
The Pittsburgh Pirates entered the 1992 season as two-time defending National League East champions. Back then, both the AL and NL had just two divisions, East and West, and the playoffs consisted of a single Championship Series pitting the division … Continue reading
112 wins, here we come!
One-hundred twelve wins! That’s roughly how many games the Pittsburgh Pirates will win this year if they manage to maintain their current winning percentage of .690 for the balance of the season. Of course, they almost certainly won’t, but it’s … Continue reading

From The West Wing, Season Three, “Stirred”: VICE-PRESIDENT HOYNES: I heard you had Caps tickets. SAM: Yes, sir. HOYNES: How was the game? SAM: Not very good. HOYNES: Have you ever seen a good hockey game? SAM: No. HOYNES: Me neither. … Continue reading
