Last night's 19 inning marathon between America's Team (The Pirates!) and America's Taint (The Braves) ended in spectacular fashion, with a tag out at the plate deemed unworthy. I think we all know who was officiating.And in his defense, he was trying to save the queen.

Pretty strong words (by MLB standards) from Pirates president Frank Coonelly:
"While we cannot begin to understand how Umpire Jerry Meals did not see the tag made by Michael McKenry three feet in front of home plate [...] He got this one wrong."
I believe an undisclosed fine will be arriving in his mailbox any minute now.
While on the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette site, I stumbled across this story:
Military blimp crashes in Greene County
My first thought was, "wait, the military has blimps?" Then I read the story and my second thought was "aliens decided to land in Greene County, home of such scenic townships as Gump, Buzz and Kuhntown?"
Sometimes I miss living in Pittsburgh.
If the Pirates miss the division crown by one game - and right now, that's more than possible - hoo boy.
If the Pirates miss the division crown by one game but the Steelers are three weeks into the NFL season, does anyone notice?
