Pittsburgh ‘Laughingsox’ Beat Natinals

The Pittsburgh Pirates were called laughingstocks by former pitcher Sean Burnett yesterday. It’s ok if you haven’t heard of Burnett.  The Pirates simply went out and displayed dazzling defense, pounded the ball all over PNC Park and 23,000+ Pirate faithful got the last laugh as the Pirates won 5-4.

Lastings Milledge was 2-4 with 2RBI in his Pirates debut.

Nyjer Morgan popped out with two men on in the ninth inning and failed to get a hit in the game.

Sean Burnett watched the game. As usual. Sean, we were thinking today and realize you haven’t been a Natinal long, so we will bring you up to date on the franchise.

The Nats keep 0’s for the scoreboard rather than jerseys.

The Nationals Lose To Fireworks.   How do you get told your not allowed to set off fireworks?   How do the fireworks get cancelled if the games go too long?  What???

Manny Acta loves Toby Keith yet it’s not playing in his vehicle.  He loves the ‘how do you like me now?’   Hmmm…. I wonder how he feels about that after his firing?

This was a really easy post, and we could have kept going including losing tickets for guests at will call, but we have had enough giggles.  So finally, well….we don’t know what to even say about this….
