Happy Easter to everyone!! I hope you and your families are having a great day!!If by chance you are a new reader(Can I be that lucky?)This is just things on my mind.. So in other words, It should be a short story..
Pens get thumped in 8-2 loss.. I am glad I did not watch this game!! The 2 losses the Pens have suffered at the hands of the Lightning have been 3+ goals .. Not sure if they just had an off day,Or it's simply the fact you are missing your #1 and# 2 stars..Hopefully the Pens can wrap it up Monday night..GO PENS!!
Nice win last night by your second place?? Pirates.. Yeah It's early on in the season..But I never thought they would even be above fifth place..
Livan Hernandez is upset with the Pirates.. He said after last nights game that he was not told when the game would start.. The game was delayed 1 hour and 11 minutes due to rain,And Hernandez said he did not get the proper time to warm up.Going as far as saying That Pirates starter Jeff Karstens had an edge.. Face it Livan..You are almost throwing batting practice speed..No amount of warming up will help!!
I almost spit my soda on the keyboard as I heard Buster Olney saying that the NL Central is a wide open race.. AND he even said..Gasp.. The Pirates have a shot.. Note to ESPN..Have him drug tested now!!
I am listening to the Pirates pre game show on the radio..And they have a legends of the game segment..Today's guest..Matt Stairs..REALLY slow day... Of course this is a Nationals/Pirates game..So not many legends..
When did almost every store stay open on Easter? I had to run out and get a few things,And was shocked how many places that are actually open..
If anyone has ever been in a accident,You know the grief you must go through to get things done.. Add to that if the person that hit you has no insurance.. It's shocking how many hoops you have to jump through just to try and get things back in order.. I have been without a car for 7 plus weeks now(And counting),I understand insurance companies have things they must do.. But I pay for insurance.. Why should I be penalized for some dumb crackhead bitch?
I was reading Shawn's Blog this morning,And he had a very interesting piece about the card collector/Autograph seeker.. In his post Shawn has a link to the Herald Mail story about Mr Baseball in the second coming,.Bryce Harper..And how he is the holy grail of auto seekers.. What the article misleads you about is the fact that it makes it seem like everyone who wants Harper's autograph is going to walk right out and sell it...
From my personal experience, The autographs I get are not sold, They actually carry more sentimental value.. I could probably tell you a story for every baseball I have had signed..
The best part of the article,Is card dealers being quoted as saying collectors have priced everyone out.. I hate to say it..But dealers are the ones who used stud finders to find base ball bat insert cards in sets,They also have the ability to set a price.. Yes I know the whole supply/demand thing..But when I stopped collecting over 15 years ago,The average price for a pack of cards was just under 6 bucks....Something about that just doesn't sound right for a piece of cardboard with a picture on it...
That's all we have for now.. You don't have to go home, But ya can't stay here!!!
