Happy Halloween.... From the BOSS!!!!

The Truth is Funny sometimes....

From pantherrants.com

Pitt is the Billy Hoyle of the Big East. Billy Hoyle was the white guy off "White Men Can't Jump" who couldn't help himself to bitch something up every time he had some sort of good luck come his way. When I think of the Rutgers game, I think of the part where Billy had three chances to prove his buddy Sidney that he could dunk. He failed on all three attempts.As for the loss, I'm reminded when Billy when home at night to his woman and he just mutters "It Happened Again.......".Gloria represents the Pitt fan base. Just when when Pitt fans think you've come around, you do something to turn them away again. It happened with Bowling Green. Now it's Rutgers. You made Mike Teel into a Heisman candidate in one afternoon. 54 points to a team who hasn't done much offensively this season. The rest of the season doesn't get any better. Just make the trip to Toronto and be done with it.

Quote of the Year

“Even though they are a bad team, it is a great win for us. It’s like beating the Browns.”

--- OFHS senior safety Dustin Slack after the Blue Devils beat Lackawanna Trail, 38-14.

Can you name this person?

This is a famous person. Some people think it could be Jesus Christ. I am not too sure myself. Who do you think it is? The answer will follow next week.

The Cathedral of Learning

Loved this photo of the Cathedral. The display is part of the City of Pittsburgh's 250th Birthday celebration. I am waiting for Tim's rendition of this photo.

Morris, Pero win JOBY awards!!!

Devils win BIG!

Joe Pa-Torre

Take a good look... Can you tell the difference?





I can't... Much like JoePa running three straight plays into the middle of a defense on the goal line, Joe Torre has no idea how to handle a pitching staff.



Don't give me that 13 straight seasons in the playoff bull. Or the four World Series rings. Or whatever.



The guy is simply the Phil Jackson of baseball. Give me Derek Jeter, Roger Juice Clemens, Bernie Williams, Mariano Riviera and a load of talent and ill win... Just like give me Jordan, Pippen, Kobe, and Shaq and ill be the Zen master...



First off. Game 2. Chad Billingsly pitching. The kid is 24. He is a rookie. He is in front of 45,000 maniacs in Philly and has just given up a few straight hits and runs. How about taking a visit to the mound to calm him down? Jeez.



But no. What does Joe PaTorre do? He leaves the kid out there by himself until he gives up 7 straight hits and four runs. Game over. Hopefull not career over. We will see tonight.



Then. Game 4. Dodgers are back in it after winning Game 3. Although I didn't like the decision of D-Lowe on three days rest, it worked out for 5 innings and a 3-2 Dodgers lead.



Would it have worked out for 6? Who knows? Cuz Joe PaTorre yanks one of the best post-season pitchers in MLB history for the YOUNGEST player in the majors - 20 year old Clayton Kershaw.



Now Clay may become a great Dodgers pitcher, but does he need to be put in the biggest spot in current Dodgers history? NO!



Leave D-Lowe out there for a few batters. See what happens. Instead Clay gives up a few hits and a run to tie the game.



The Dodgers come right back and go ahead 5-3, so lets bring in Kuo. Huo pitches great. So great, Joe PaTorre takes him out!!! WHAT?!?!?!?!



Too much overmanaging....



But let's not bring in Broxton to shut things down. Let's bring in Cory Wade - another youngin - to throw some gas on the fire.



Sure enough, 5-5, after the Flyin Hawaiian's homer. Now we bring in Broxton. POW two-run homer to Matt Stairs. GAME OVER!



Way to manage Joe PaTorre. Let's see what you do in LA next year without Manny, D-Lowe and possibly even Furcal.



I'm sick of people saying what a great job Joe did this year. The Dodgers STUNK all year until Manny showed up. They better throw the farm at Manny so he stays and keeps LA baseball exciting.



If not.. might as well get rid of Joe or else the Dodgers will be just like the Braves and Mets Torre managed in the 70s and 80s - JUNK!

I HATE PHILLY!!!

Mr. Rooney

As we walked thru the South Plaza at Heinz Field I said to Dr. Mando, "Look. That's Art Rooney."

Dr. Mando: "You sure?"

Me: "Mr. Rooney, Good Luck tonight."

Mr. Rooney: "Thanks."

Garu: "Let's get a picture with him."

Me: "Naw. Let's not bother him."

Garu: "Mr. Rooney, how about a picture?"

Mr. Rooney: "Sure"
