Burgh Blog archives are back up???!! This makes me one happy, lazy blogger.
Also, I would like to just state for the record that it’s not completely laziness that has led to this being the first post in like 2 months. My whole brain has also been sucked into my extremely interesting but brain-sucking new job, [...]

Tuesday night I watched the Buccos play on FSN Pittsburgh and I saw the promotional ad with Nate McLouth that concludes with him saying earnestly into the camera, “I’m a Pirate.”
Twenty-four hours later, that was a lie.
Pittsburgh’s newest explant motivated me out of my “what is the meaning of my blog?” funk, because it’s clear [...]

The streak has ended, in a puddle of cold wet disappointment. We still have the best ERA in the league, we still don’t have a losing record. But I lost.

Happy Jackie Robinson Day – the anniversary of the first game Mr. TR and I attended together.
He’s at the park tonight (perhaps he’ll run into Professor Madison, apparently my kindred spirit in baseball poeticism). I’m here in the hometown of starting pitcher Ross Ohlendorf. There’s nothing right at all about that.
But there’s everything right about [...]

Tonight I ate dinner at the PF’s house – a regular occurrence these orphaned days – and Mr. PF had just received the Sports Illustrated Baseball Preview volume.
Needless to say, there wasn’t much conversation until we had both devoured the edition. That is, other than the groans of disgust at SI’s total dismissal of any hope [...]

I was all set to come here and gloat a little. I was all excited to declare the score My Life 1, Real World 0. I spent some quality time playing a Spring Training game on my PlayStation 3 this afternoon, in my happy little computer world where my animated Buccos beat the Reds 5-3 [...]

1. No, no, no, no, and no. That is all.
2. Spring training is underway, and if you care, follow the analyses here, here, or here. This is the bestest time of year. Almost time for baseball joy, but no actual sucking yet.
You guys, I love baseball. I don’t know if I’ve emphasized that enough. I [...]
