The trip so far

aaron — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 22:38:07 +0000

Well I made it to Tampa this morning and had my meeting drove about an hour for Kosher food and now have a bad migraine. But for some reason I’m blogging. At this point in my trip I am missing Malky, Rivky and home in general. Hopefully we’ll get a chance to video chat tonight so I’ll feel less homesick. The good news is that I’m going home tomorrow night.

Tomorrow I have one meeting and then lots of time in between the meeting and the flight home. As luck would have it the Pirates are playing a spring training game in the same town that I’ll be in for the meeting so it looks like I may go and watch their opening spring training game. It should be interesting since I have never seen a spring training game before. If I go, I’ll be blogging about the game at my other site The Pittsburgh Lumber Company.

My blogging elsewhere

I’m not sure how many of our readers out there follow baseball, but for the past month or so I have been a blogger over at MVN blogging about the Pittsburgh Pirates. If you like baseball and want to get my perspective (and the perspective of my fellow co-bloggers) then feel free to visit our site.

The Knicks and no knack

Yesterday morning I got a call on my mobile from a former co-worker who I still keep in touch with from time to time. It turns out that he had an extra ticket to the Knicks game last night and wanted to know if I was interested in joining the group that was going. After checking with Malky, I rang him back and let him know that I was coming.

The Knicks are absolutely dreadful but they weren’t the real reason that I went, I went to see some old friends and catch up with them.

This is another reason why I should have gone into psychiatry. Remember kids, only use your powers for good and making money

The Pirate Parrott as Tony Soprano.

I have to admit that I never watched the Sopranos. It was just one of those shows that never made it on my radar screen. Even though I never watched it, you would have to live on a desert island not to know about the controversial ending to the series that the show had a few weeks ago. It seems that the Pirates went and made a spoof of the ending and it looks pretty amusing.

Opening Day

Ah, the first day of the baseball season (the game last night doesn’t count – that was for TV purposes only). The Pirates are playing tonight at 7:05 which means that I won’t be able to listen to the game due to Passover starting tonight as well. Good thing that it is a 162 game season.

Well, if I were doing government work my prediction would have been spot on. Oh well.

There are lots of little sub-plots to this superbow and if you follow sports, I don’t need to tell them to you. Regardless of these sub-plots, I think that the Colts will be too much for the Bears and will win the game. Call it 34 – 21 in favor of the Colts.

Hey Trib-Review! It’s OK to admit mistakes

aaron — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 13:09:38 +0000

As I mentioned in the previous post, there were conflicting reports about who the new coach for the Steelers was going to be. It’s now confirmed that it is Mike Tomlin. This means that the Tribune Review was way off on their report from yesterday.

What is really interesting is that when you go to the link of the Trib’s article you get nothing but a blank page. It is as if the article had never existed at all. And if you look at the Trib’s sports page, there is no indication about yesterday’s report at all.

This is embarrassing and not the way to handle a situation like this in any way, shape, or form. The Trib really needs to come clean and admit that it blew it big time with that shoddy reporting.
