As mentioned previously, I have been dealing with quite a bit in my personal life. I'm going through a major period of flux with a lot of uncertainty over the next few years. I'm making some moves and some choices with some pretty long tails on them and I can't take them too lightly. Those... Continue Reading →
Failtown – Population: Me
I feel like such a chump. I have not been writing as much as I would like lately, which is unfair to both myself and to all of you. Thank God for Griggsy. He's been covering up for my punk ass the last week with his Gripes and his unreal look at the Pirates. I... Continue Reading →
8/6: Griggsy’s Gripes
Double dose of Griggsy's lovin' on AtC. First we got an unreal write-up about the Pirates and now some more gripin'. Griggsy, roll that beautiful bean footage. ----------- As I’ve mentioned in the past, I’m bad at writing intros. Because of that, let’s get right into things. This is what I’m griping about...

2011 Pittsburgh Pirates: A Season on the Brink
Foreword: I approached Griggsy the other day about writing an article about the Pirates because he is a much better and more learned fan of baseball than I am or could ever be. It just so happens that we are on similar wavelength regarding the Pirates' season and the infamous Jerry Meals safe call to... Continue Reading →
Pens Preview: Marc-Andre Fleury
I have been known to be something of a "Fleury hater" for many years. I don't like the term "hater" because that implies a complete and total illogical dislike of a player for reasons that cannot be logic'd or discussed. When I would discuss Fleury's previous disappointments I would do so with facts and figures... Continue Reading →
Pens Preview: Tyler Kennedy
Tyler Kennedy. Tyler effing Kennedy. Be honest with yourself for a few minutes. Think to the start of the season. Raise your hand if you expected Tyler Kennedy to be one of the best offensive weapons down the stretch. It's OK. I'll wait. I know I didn't expect much out of Kennedy beyond what we...

Fearless
I had a number of things I wanted to talk about, but I've been having a bugger of a time putting things into words today. I started writing a different entry this morning. I just haven't had the focus I needed to put into words what I was thinking. Unfortunately, that feeling is nothing new... Continue Reading →
Ten Years Later
A lot of things have happened to me in the last ten years. A lot of things have happened the world over in the last ten years. Pretty much the entirety of the Bush administration, the first half of the Obama administration, 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan, multiple Olympic games, all variety of other unfortunate terrorist attacks,...

I've got a full day of things today, but if I get a few moments tonight (and can let my bile recede) I will discuss this more at length. Wow. Youtube took the video down. Whatever. On to the next one.
Pens Preview: James Neal
If ever there was a deadline pick-up that caused more elation, then frustration, then more elation, then abject hatred, then more (un)conditional love followed by even more anger and hostility than James "The Real Deal" Neal, I do not remember who this individual was or why we were so excited and then hate-filled. I know... Continue Reading →
