So what if it is a little late!

On September 21, I celebraed my fourth birthday since becoming a member of TV.com in 2005. I have been busy lately with school and soccer so I haven't posted many blogs but I will try to create onhe when something new is going on.

Coincidentally, the last game ever at Yankee Stadium was on my birthday. That make me feel even more special. There are so many Yankees that MLB fans will not forget including Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, Joe Dimaggio, Lou Gehrig, Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, and many more. R.I.P. great Yankee Stadium.

The Penn State Nittany Lions have not been tested in their first 3 games of the season but they have looked like a national powerhouse and a team that could compete with the nation's best. Darryl Clark and Pat Devlin have looked great and Evan Royster and Stefan Green have looked fantastic, and ofcoure our receivers are great like always. Tonight is the White Out against Illinois which is a very key game for us this season. We Are...

Lastly I would like to issue my comments on the New TV.com. First what I like: The new toolbar/header at the top of the page. I also like how the episde, cast, trivia, etc. header on the side of episode guide pages are. I also like the new what's on tonight schedule. What I don't like, the site is now a little slower, I can't rate episode other than every .5, I don't like the look of the episode guide themselves. They are too white and the episodes, cast, trivia, notes, etc. don't pop out to the eye like they used to. So it is a little rougher on the eyes if that sounds better to you. That's all for me today guys and girls, have a good one!

I'm back...again!

I got back yesterday from my vacation in North Carolina with my aunt, uncle, and cousin. It was the right temperature every day of the week but there was quite a bit of rain. I missed the pool/beach three days because of rain, but it was still a nice week. When I got back to the burgh I went straight to my family reunion which I missed the first 3 hours of. But hey, fashionably late. The reunion was very small but still fun. After the reunion I went to dinner with my parents and uncle, aunt, and cousins, not the same ones I went to N.C. with.

In other news, the Buccos traded Nady and Marte to the Yankees for 4 minor leaguers. The only high point for us is that our outfield is still loaded. Nady will be missed for his bat and arm, but we have Jason Michaels and our only good minor league prospect, Andrew McCutchen. However our pitching is good when our bats are not and are bats are good when our pitching is not. We lost four straight to Colorado before winning four straight then dropping the next three. We must win three of the next four with Colorado after being swept by them two series ago.

That's all folks!

Level 42

With my 20+ submissions yesterday I finally arrived at level 42, General Lee. I did not watch the Dukes of Hazzard, but I know that General Lee is the car they drove on the show. Next up level 43. Wonder what that one is?

The Penguins just picked up Finland's top scorer. He led his Finnish team to their fifth Championship last year and scored 70+ points in 50+ games. The only thing that might be a problem is having him play a full season. Coming from the Finnish League where a single season consists of 50+ games to the NHL where it is 82 games, that could be a minor problem. Evgeni Malkin had the same oriblem his first year but look how he came back the next. Led the Pens to the Stanley Cup while Sid was out with an injury.

I know I haven't blogged much this year, but when I find the time too I never really have big news. So right now I am just bloggin for the point of blogging. My summer has been boring, just the way I like it. I went to Florida for a week, it was a lot of fun. Now I am just sleeping in, and doing nothing. This weekend is my mom's family reunion. And the week after is my second vacation this summer. I am going to North Carolina with my Uncle, Aunt, and Cousin. I am going with them because this year is my Prent's 25th anniversary and they wanted to go away alone so I am going away with my cousin and his parents for a week. And because my parents have yet to book anything It looks like two weeks after that vacation they will go away and I will go into pittsburgh for a week.

In other news the Pirates are starting to slide down the ladder as they are now 6 below .500. Now many of you know if we have a losing season tis year we will make MLB history for longest losing season streak. If that doens't make you want to come out each and every night and get a win for your ball club then I don't know what will. This is not the kind of history you want to make. And last night another great starting pitching performance was thrown down the tube when Ken Griffy Jr. hit a pinch hit two run homerun in the bottom of the ninth to win the game. And what makes it worse is that the MLB's leading pitcher in the strikeout category is our opponent tonight. For a team that hasn't scored over 4 runs in 3 straight games, it doesn't look good.

Well that's about it, thankis for checking out the blog. Feel free to leave comments or pm me. I always check the site out each day for a little.

Well I couldn't hold it in any longer. Detroit just pi$$ed me off too much. I hate this city when it comes down to sports, and if I cared any great deal about politics and economy I would probably hate it in many other aspects as well.

Now I am not just saying this because the Wings are beating my Pens 3-1 right now. I have no problem with the teams here, just their fans and their media. I go to school in Michigan and my friends are all over me. Not in the friendly jeering way, but a weird and stupid way. Before the series I had ten kids ask me if I thought the Penguins had a chance. Gee Let me think we were 2 goals from tieing up the series in the last game and they are my favorite team, what do you think braniac. The second stupid thing I have heard is them asking me if I was going to watch the game on Friday night. Well if they followed the series they would have known it was not on Friday but on Saturday. The last thing tht ticked me off was a friend of mine asked me if it was "Sidney" or "Sindey" Crosby who played for us and after I told him it was "Sidney" he told me he had as many goals as him.(In case you were not sure this was before game 3) I wanted to say, "but he knows how to pronounce his name!" but I had more respect and didn't say it. so other than the wings fans it is mainly all of the rest of their fans too. In spring training I was being told how the Tigers were already World Series Champions and Miguel and Dontrelle were just making it official. Well 2 months into the season the Pittsburgh Pirates, Florida Marlins, and Tampa Rays all have better records. And if you are not familiar with the MLB they are more than seven games under .500. So what are they saying now, well I'd tell you if I knew, but sadly they are so fairweathered fans here that they act as if the Tigers aren't a team anymore. This Royals or Pirates, or any other sports franchise you can think of is ovr 100% better than Detroit fans. I couldn't think of a least deserving city for a great sports franchise then Detroit!

The last thing about Detroit that makes me hate the city when it comes to sports is it's media. I got home today put on the news. Not ESPN, FSN, or ESPNews but NBC or in Detroit the Local 4. So I put it on and from 5 :00 PM to 7:00 I heard nothing but the same exact preview from 10 different newscasters at the Joe Louis Arena about tonight's game. It would be nice if we could get an actual preview but Detroit is too good for that and we get 10 differnt peopl telling us how it would be nice to win the Cup in Detroit and not Pittsburgh. I felt like a 10 year old produced the news. And btw, the news was like this on every channel and has been for the last week and a half.

Sorry to waste your time but Detroit has wated weeks of my life!
