The Pirates suck.
I should just end the post there, huh?
While I was away, the Pirates sucked. They sucked last night when they lost 8-4 to the Mets, putting them a half a game out of last place, losing nine of their last ten, and 14 games out of first place, which, come on — [...]

In a telephone interview yesterday, Mr. Baechle said, “We harvested 272 last Friday and Saturday. I am a naturalist by training and I really struggled with this. I didn’t think we were going to use [...]

So when I leave the US, the Pittsburgh Public Schools were going to be called the Pittsburgh Schools.
Apparently while I was away, all sorts of shit hit the fan because upon my return, I see it’s back to being the Pittsburgh Public Schools.

Whoa!
Nothing like being out of the country for a week to make you totally lose touch with what’s going on in the Burgh.
Seriously, you guys. I got off the plane yesterday and had to resist the urge to grab every Burgher I saw and shake them.
