Update

Seeing as how I'll be working full-time hours this summer, and I desperately need something to distract myself with, this seems like an opportune summer to get interested in baseball. Of all sports, this is the one that I have paid the least attention to over the years (due, in large part, to the Pirates consistently sucking), so I have a lot of catching up to do. As a nice coincidence, most fans I've spoken to believe this is the Pirates' year to start turning things around, so that should be nice. Even if they don't, it'll be fun riding that train into the cellar. I like the abuse.

A series of medals are hereby virtually pinned on Baroness for the sweet-ass t-shirt she brought from Caliwaii. You will have to see to believe. She is currently infiltrating one of the more densely populated centers of higher learning in the state of Pennsylvania, the better to recruit young impressionable jerkoffs into becoming Alley Vipers.

It was also a pleasure to be a part of a brilliant April Fools' joke, masterminded by Mistress Armada and her cronies. Another COBRA bastard child enters the world of legend. Woo hah!

Everyone keep an eye out for upcoming Stereo Agency stuff--April 14th, Good Friday, at 9:00 PM we are opening with an hour set for some band at Jelly Beans in Allentown (if you don't live in A-town don't bother) and then the next night, Holy Saturday or whatever, we return to the Funhouse to lose our friggin' minds. We are playing with some new toys, and I have a feeling that show will be one to remember. Mark yer calendars.

Check out my baseball preview, which I will be finishing at some point this week. There will be a Pirates rant to the highest degree. I feel bad for the 'Burghers as the Steelers have become not just the kings of the town but the sole saviors, as everyone else is in the gutter (Pirates, Penguins, Pitt U., the Sombrero Man [literally]).

Back in the 70's and early 90's, all teams were a factor. Now the Steelers are more important than ever because that's it.

And every other baseball team that built a new stadium recently has spent money and tried to be a contender. Padres, Phillies, Mariners, all tried and had some success. Hey, even the Reds, Brewers, and Tigers upped their payrolls (though it didn't work). Only the Pirates have gathered all teh money from their new digs and done NOTHING. In fact, they helped San Diego get off on the right track by giving them Brian Giles. Deplorable.

Maybe they can't really say anything bad right now because Hines Ward's smile is bright enough to light up Oakland and Sqirrel Hill by itslef, but the peopel there have to be pissed. This is an outrage that doesn't get attention from the national media because they've given up on Pittsburgh as anything else than a football town. For shame.

How dare you play on the day I died for you, Father. How Dare You!

But rock out really hard regardless.

Poor Sombrero Man.
