Clean up

A few items to clean up that have been here entirely too long.

Poll questions
How many HRs will the legend hit?
Well the legend has not been as legendary as he was last year, but he has really performed as well as anyone this year less a few defensive issues. The year's not over but he's sitting at 20 right now and he'd have to go on a real tear to get to 30. We know from last year he's capable of putting up some high numbers but 10 in the rest of the season is unlikely. I've seen stories that management is cooling on considering him part of the future, but until another one of the 10 first basemen they have step up, he's the man. He's as good of a role model as you'll find in baseball too. Something the Pirates need to keep up relations with their fans. He's capable of hitting some long HRs too. The fans really like that.

Where will the Pirates finish this year?
That one could have been answered several months ago seeing as they're 12.5 games behind the Cubs right now, it can now be replaced with will they finish dead last in baseball. They actually have a pretty good lead in that category. They have 45 wins vs. Baltimore's 49. The prize for finishing last has been Rice University 3rd Baseman Anthony Rendon, but that is now a question mark because of a recent ankle injury. We'll see how that race shapes up in the final 28 games.

I was just looking at the sports section for the Morgantown Dominion Post. It is pitiful. A couple of articles and none on the Mounaineers. I removed the link and added MSN Sportsnet. You'll find anything you need to know about the Mountaineers there.

The few recent articles I've done have been on the Pirates, it's that time of year again: Football Season and time to switch focus to the Steelers. I'll put in my 2 cents on the quarterback situation. Ben's suspension has been reduced from 6 to 4 games. That's good news. I'm still not happy with how Ben behaved and will replace my license plate BEN XXXX as soon as it expires, but he appears to have done a good job of modifying his behavior. Hopefully Double D or CB can keep them at least .500 till he returns.
