It was surreal on TV... Kind of bummed they stuck with Olberman instead of showing the announcements because I guess that was even better, but yeah EVERYONE right now seems like a bandwagoner for the Pirates... My self included, as I really don't care for baseball but I've watched them some this year. My grandmother loved listening to games on the radio, so she would've liked this.
I was always kind of turned off by baseball when they were good before... Bonds was a known prick in the city. Stuff like him, and the others who were equally prickish, turned me off to baseball at a young age.
Steelers fans bitching their season will still trump the Pirates season though, lol. Kinda sad. I know the feeling already though, as a Pens fan... It was always funny seeing a Pens game get a blip at the end of the cast while the Steelers (and usually pirates) got more talk.

Congrats to the Red Sox...hopefully the Braves will be back there one day soon again too.

Sports Journalist Told To Write Some Slop About Baseball Healing Boston
--- Quote ---BOSTON—Ahead of Wednesday’s potential World Series–clinching Game 6 matchup between the Red Sox and Cardinals, sources confirmed that Los Angeles Times sports editor Sam Poyet instructed journalist Ross Martinez to quickly throw together some slop about baseball helping the city of Boston heal from this year’s tragic marathon bombings. “Just **** out like six or seven hundred words’ worth of melodramatic sludge about how the whole city has been galvanized by their team and how baseball offers a way for Bostonians to slowly move on from tragedy,” said Poyet, adding that Martinez should definitely churn out a couple paragraphs of muck contrasting the overwhelming terror pervading Boston during the aftermath of the bombings to the especially emotional and impassioned atmosphere at Fenway Park this season. “Don’t forget to mention the ‘Boston Strong’ rallying cry, the club’s tributes to victims during each game, and how this is all about much more than just baseball. And, I don’t know, a little section about the players saying some heartwarming gunk about how much this means to the people of Boston. Then maybe round off the whole sentimental garbage heap with something about how no matter what, the day will never be forgotten. Oh, and something where you use the phrase ‘the wounded heart of a proud city.’ Just throw it all in the trough; they’ll eat it up.” Poyet added that the giant mound of histrionic, exploitative glop should probably start off with the sentence, “The morning of April 15, 2013 wasn’t much different from any other in downtown Boston.”

Red Sox Fan Dedicates Garbage Can He’s Lighting On Fire To Marathon Victims
--- Quote ---BOSTON—Fifteen minutes after the Boston Red Sox defeated the St. Louis Cardinals to become World Series Champions, sources are now confirming that local man Bradley Ferrante, 26, is dedicating the trash can he’s lighting on fire to the victims of last April’s Boston Marathon bombings. “4/15, never forget!” said a visibly intoxicated Ferrante before throwing an entire book of lit matches into the trash bin, stumbling slightly before kicking it to the ground, removing his shirt, and screaming “Go Sox!” “Dynasty!” “Big Papi! We love you, Papi!” and “We’re the ******’ champs, baby! Boston Strong! Yankees suck! Woo!” At press time, Ferrante was hunched over on Boylston Street, vomiting roughly 800 yards from the marathon’s finish line.

Agreed. It is really stupid. And just about every aspect of the media and "the news" is lame, corrupt and full of **** along with it.
Like a bunch of roided-up millionaire athletes winning a game makes up for 4 innocent dead people and 50 others who had their legs blown off.
