Recipe For Letdown

After the Pittsburgh Pirates stunning come from behind win on Saturday night would have been a perfect ending to the first half of the 2008 season,But we had 1 more game to play.Ian Snell started for the Bucs,Snell went 5 innings giving up 4 runs on 5 hits,While striking out 6 and walking 3.Showing the fight this 2008 team has shown before,The Bucs battled back to tie the game in the 5Th,And took the lead in the 6Th.But Gasoline Osoria would give up 4 runs in 1/3 an inning,And the law firm of Beam and Yates would each give up 1 run to kill any shot of another rally Final score 11-6 Cards.At the All Star break the Pirates record is 44-50,A 3 game improvement from 2007 when they were at 40-51.And it can be argued that if pitching was better,The record could have been over 500 by a couple games.The things that should be remembered so far this season? How about Nate McLouth showing that he did deserve to be an every day player,Jason Bay WAS hurt in 07,Ryan Doumit is a better catcher Paulino,Jason Michaels was a good pickup.The bad,Adam LaRoche still has the 1st 2 or 3 month slow start,The bullpen is not as good as advertised(That's going out on a limb) Not much going on in sports right now,With the All Star break and NFL training camps not starting for a few more weeks.Of course the whole Brett Favre saga continues,I don't know about you,But I am sick and tired of hearing his bullshit on a daily basis!So you retired and want to come back now?Hey that's great,But here's a idea for the next jackass that decides to retire/unretire,If you decide to come back do not deny the fact you want to play, Tell the truth.This whole Farve thing is just Favre massaging his ego,I wonder how they will feel if I come back? Sadly we have a few more weeks of this to go through,I wish the Packers would release him,And let him go to another team,Then see him fall on his ass and think twice about coming back.I'll try and do another post before i head to work,I've been putting off the Suns game report for a few days,But it will be done shortly.
