Someone Is Upset In Hagerstown!!!

If you would have told me that there would be backlash for Musings about Sports and other important items: Talkin bout the Hagerstown Suns-Part II
for that post,I would have to laugh at you..Well sadly there was...

It seems the "Sunsations" were somewhat pissed off at my friend Shawn's take on their half coma dancing...Here's a hint,If you get to the point where you are reading how lame your dancing skills are,Chances are they are just as bad as advertised!!!

I have only been to a handful of games this year,But each and every time I have went it's the same approach to it.Oh lord do we have to really get up and dance?

The funny part is when I picked up my tickets before the start of the season,I asked someone who works for the Suns if they did away with the dancing bit.Her response was"No but they are going to train the "dancers" more this year".

I guess someone forgot to pass the memo along!!!

And before I go even further,I want to state for the record I am not trying to win a most popular contest,And I will never be one to not speak his mind.

With that being said,The women that do the dancing may be very nice people..But I can tell you that they aren't motivated to dance to cotton eyed Joe!!!

The Suns have made HUGE strides from the previous GM,But Shawn was dead on every point he made in his post. From the announcer who is NOT that good..I'm sorry if you have to scream to get the crowd into the game,It's a lost cause..

There is nothing wrong with being jazzed up for the home team.And before all you"Suns Followers" start posting about how shitty my blog,And Shawn's treat the Suns,I challenge you to read every post made about the Suns since 2007,Then tell me we are not being honest!!

I have changed my mind on alot of the things they do at the Muni,Everything I have seen (Other then the dancing,And announcing)Has improved..The first statue night I talked to Bob and he asked how everything was.Shawn and I both said good,Except the loudness of the PA system.It may not have been so bad if someone was not screaming when Suns players were at bat!

Again,Like I said before..Nothing wrong with giving a little more for the home team,But how about not making ears bleed because you want to hear yourself!

I had to chuckle when I read the comments on Shawn's blog,And someone "says"they run a dance studio.You may very well run it,But if you're thinking the girls who half ass it on a nightly basis are giving it their all,You need to evaluate your talent again!!

Oh and here's a very special treat..Whoever came up with this lame ass gimmick?



I was at this game,I think it's the second time I've seen this"bit",and I think it is even more lame then anything they have done yet!!

You May Like This,You May Hate This

I will be covering a few topics today,As the title says,Either you will like it,Or you will hate it.Bottom line of this it's my opinions,So sit back and enjoy!

Michael Jackson passes away at 52

Was he a great entertainer?Sure he was,But let's not get carried away with all the bullshit of the last(Ugh)2 weeks by calling him a fucking saint!!!

Isn't this the SAME Michael Jackson who "Allegedly" had molestation charges against him? Explain how someone,Even though they were "acquitted"But still had tons of accusations of said crimes even up till the time of his death,Can achieve sainthood status because he dies?

I am sick and tired of hearing about this nonsense already!! It has been damn near 2 weeks now,And we are just now getting to the memorial service(See cluster/fuck)Most Presidents don't get this kind of treatment,But King Michael will?

Then this afternoon I hear that Rev Al Sharpton is asking for a national day of prayer???Did I miss something?When the hell did he become something more then a singer that hasn't had a "good song" in damn near 10 years???

In the span of 2 weeks,We have lost Ed McMahon,Farrah Fawcett,Billy Mays,Fred Travalena,And just this week.Karl Malden.

Yeah I know some aren't as "famous"as Michael,But all that's been on CNN the last 2 weeks is Michael this,And Michael that.I'm almost waiting on them to tell us when Jermaine took a shit,Or if Janet's titties popped out again!! ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

And sadly this won't go away,Tuesday is the memorial service(Again see cluster/fuck)
Hell Sunday night on CNN is a tour of Never land Ranch with Larry King.Oh great I guess he can interrupt whoever is giving the tour by asking the dumbest questions possible!Maybe they'll show us where Bubbles used to crap on the floor,Or maybe where Michael touched kids....Hearts....







I am just getting started on a Sunday afternoon! More to come in a little bit.

I Promise,New Stuff Coming Soon

That's what she said!!! I am going to try and work on a few posts that I have been meaning to get to the last week or so.Working crazy hours at work means less time on my blog,Which could be bad or good(Depending on who you are lol).I have a ton of things to cover,And hope to work on a few tonight...So check back later!

Let's Play Catch Up!!

It's about time to get back to doing 1 of my favorite things,And I guess I'll do a blog post today also....

Alot has gone on in the last few weeks since I decided to take a break.

Congratulations to The Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins!!!After looking like roadkill in game 5,The Pens came back to win game 6 at the Igloo,And game 7 in Detroit,Geno Malkin was MVP of the Finals.If you remember last year I made a bold,Joking prediction.Here's the line I used.

The Penguins must have realized the upcoming season would be hard to win if they didn't work out a deal with the devil.On Thursday the Pens signed Satan,Miroslav Satan that is. 1 year deal,And hopes of Satan raising the cup as hell will freeze over!

Well I guess a cold front is about to overtake the region!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pirates are talking to the Washington Nationals about trading OF Nyjer Morgan.The Nationals offered OF Lastings Milledge ,And the Bucs wanted SP Craig Stammen thrown in the deal,Which as of now is not looking to get done.

If you think this is a great deal,It would be even if you took Milledge even swap for Morgan,But if the Bucs could get Stammen in that deal should be made as fast as you can!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also Bucco related,Xavier Nady is going to need Tommy John surgery for the 2nd! time in his career.Maybe it's just karma that finally we were not on the receiving end of a injured player we trade for.. Thanks for overpaying again Yankees!!!

Ian Snell "demoted"himself to AAA Indianapolis.Jesus why the hell didn't you pull this shit at the start of the season!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will try and do another quality post from Grumblings Headquarters later today,I'm sure just random observations from work the last few weeks could make 3 or 4 more post lol

Our Take On The McLouth Trade

I have decided to take a few minutes today and comment on the open letter to the fans that was published today by Pirates GM Neal Huntington.. Here is the letter,Along with our comments..Enjoy!

June 6, 2009

Dear Pirates Fan,
Dear Suffering Jackasses,

On the heels of this Wednesday's trade with the Atlanta Braves, I felt it was important that you hear directly from me as to why this move brings us closer to our goal of building a consistent championship organization and providing you a team of which you will be proud.
(Of course this may take another 20 years,But you'll be damn happy when it's done!!!)


Obviously this was a very difficult decision as Nate is a quality player and person. We knew this move was not going to be popular in the clubhouse with our players or among our fan base who have suffered through a long stretch of losing seasons. Despite recognizing the probable unpopularity of this trade, we believed it to be the right step for our organization and made a sound baseball decision.

(We really don't care about the fans,Or the players for that matter..Get bent we are doing what we want)

The quality and quantity of the players we received in this trade was the crucial component to this trade. We are excited about the three young players we received. We have been interested in and closely monitored all three of these players for some time as they are highly regarded by us and by most within the industry.
(Fry cooks are highly regarded also,But you don't trade 1 of the better fry cooks for 3 guys that may do well)

Charlie Morton is a power right-handed starting pitcher with upside, who should be ready to help us this year in Pittsburgh. In fact, in his first outing for our Triple-A affiliate, he tossed seven scoreless innings, giving up only four hits while striking out seven. Jeff Locke is an intriguing young left handed starter with the frame, athleticism and stuff to become a quality major league starting pitcher. Gorkys Hernandez is a dynamic athlete who has the speed and potential to become an above average everyday major league outfielder. It is worth noting that these three players were rumored to be sought by the Padres when they were talking to the Braves about trading former Cy Young award winner Jake Peavy.

(Sure they have potential,But the bottom line is we own their asses for at least 5 years,We sure know how to save a few bucks)

Additionally, Andrew McCutchen has proven that he is ready to take the next step and begin his career at the Major League level. Andrew has done what we have asked of him in Triple-A and showed he was ready for the challenges of the Major League level. Andrew is an intelligent, hard working player that has shown the present ability to play impact defense in centerfield. While we do not expect Andrew to replace Nate's power production immediately, Andrew is an exciting top-of-the-order player who proved this spring that he can be an exciting part of a productive offense.

(No argument about Andrew,1 Point I won't argue with)

Ultimately, to become a championship team we need more championship caliber players at all levels. As difficult as these types of trades are to make, they are an important part of the talent acquisition and development process that will position us to be a consistent championship caliber organization sooner rather than later.

(Maybe,Just maybe if the last GM was smarter then a monkey throwing his own shit,We would not be in the mess we are today.But thanks to his mismanagement of the team,And the players..We have no shot in hell until we restock the Minor Leagues)

I understand why some people at first glance may believe this move was financially motivated, but I can assure you that this was strictly a baseball decision. In fact, our owner Bob Nutting was as surprised as some of our fans when we sought his approval for this trade. I am grateful that he has the faith in me, our baseball operations staff and the processes we have in place to approve a move like this, despite the risk of public backlash on him personally and the organization as a whole. Furthermore, I am appreciative that he continues to provide us with the resources necessary to build a championship caliber organization. Whether we sought to build our new facilities in Bradenton and the Dominican Republic, sign our young major league players to long-term deals, triple our amateur signing bonus budget in order to be aggressive in acquiring talent both domestically and internationally or significantly increase our scouting and development budgets, Bob was willing to provide the resources necessary to make these fundamental changes.

(When you say it isn't about money,People tend to think it is.Great idea #1,Don't tell people it wasn't about money)

We have said several times that tough decisions will need to be made as we build and sustain a championship caliber organization. The decision to trade Nate was perhaps the most difficult one both personally and professionally that we have made to date. Tough decisions are not always popular. However, we have a singular focus on our goal of building an organization that can consistently compete for championships, not simply finish above .500. The organizational talent level has been vastly improved during the past two years and, as a result, we are a much stronger organization and closer to our ultimate goal.

(If this is true,Well I'm 100% for trading the entire team if that's what it takes..)

Your understanding of the situation is greatly appreciated by all of us in the organization. Your passion for this team is the driving force behind our motivation to bring winning baseball back to you, the fans of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

(Please please for the love of god stop yelling at us..We like you,We really do)

Sincerely,
(Get Bent)

Neal Huntington
Senior Vice President and General Manager
Pittsburgh Pirates

I along with many other Pirate fans were shocked when I read the news about Nate being traded to the(Ugh)Atlanta Braves. The players we received in return should actually help the club.I hope the Pirates front office pulls the trigger like this more often.Yes it sucks when a good player goes away.But in the long run this is helping stock a very barren Minor League system.

It's Break Time

I have been doing my blog for just over a year,I really enjoy doing this most of the time.There in lies the problem,Most of the time.

As I write this,The Penguins are coming off a game 1 Stanley Cup Finals loss to the Detroit Red Wings 3-1.And I am watching game 2 as we speak.But something is missing,Not quite sure what it is,But at the moment I am a fan of the Penguins,But not feeling like writing about them,Go figure..

I am not going to use my starting yet another job as a excuse for not doing posts,And I won't give any reason,Simple enough,I am tired.Not from working,But trying to come up with ideas for this blog when I have only been to maybe 5 games this season,And once I start getting to a few more games,I can actually write about something I have watched.


I do hope everyone who has or will read this blog has gone away with a chuckle,Lord knows we all need to laugh ALOT more.

I still will ask for guest writers,Anyone who wants to put their 2 cents into something,By all means just email me and we'll get you started.

I will be posting updates or little blogs in the next week or so,Once things seem to get more back to normal,I'll be writing alot more.

Until next time....
Ps,The Penguins just scored in period 1,1-0 Lets Go Pens!!!!
