Pirates series preview, contributed by Ebby Calvin. Come for the Pirates preview, but be sure to hang around afterward for the motorcycle races.

Thanks for pinch-hitting, Ebby Calvin!

Great work Ebby!
In the end, my dissolution with the game of baseball will not be a result of any loss of love for the game, rather from the realization that I can no longer bear the anger its supposed stewards cause to be built up in my soul. -Lee (01/08/2013)

Great work Ebby!

On the recap. Not so much on the bike.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

Thank you for sharing that.  That made my day...

eta: not to laugh at you, but to appreciate that I am not alone is such events.  I tip my hat to you sir.

Thank God, no.  But at my next station I did get the "Hit of the Week" on our rival's Friday Night Football show after getting pummeled by a HS cornerback at the sideline.  Camera broke and everything.  I'm pretty talented.
Don't think twice, it's alright.
