You can tell the Pirates are playing a struggling team when they're up 7-0 in the sixth inning. You'll know it's the Pirates if they somehow manage to lose the game anyway.

eta: No, they didn't blow it in the end! They won, 10-0. Go Bucs!

Does this make me a bandwagon fan? I don't care about them because they're winning (because, in general, they're not). I just care because there's no hockey and I need something to obsess about. I doubt if baseball has what it takes, long term, to keep me very occupied. But it's something, which is better than nothing.

And speaking of hockey, good-bye Alex Kovalev. Good-bye Mike Comrie. It's no surprise at all that Kovalev is getting the boot. There was some speculation that since Comrie spent almost the entire season injured, he might get another cheap one-year contract to redeem himself, but no dice. Apparently, he's thinking about retiring. At thirty years old, independently wealthy on his dad's side, with a star wife, he really has no need to keep playing, especially when he can't keep himself injury free. Now it's time to buckle down and get a few free agents signed before they go on the open market.

I hope the Pens manage to sign some good, healthy players for next year. Meanwhile, I hope the Pirates manage to keep your life interesting!

The Pens will sign at least some of their current players and probably give the WBS contingent a chance in training camp to fill a few more spots.
