Pens earn a clean sweep

Last night the Pens put an early end to the first best of seven series. They defeated the senators 3-1, with goals by malkin, rutu , and crasby. I hope the senators took nice picture they could hang on the wall for next year. The pens get a nice break until their next series, as they are the only team in the playoffs to pull off a clean sweep. I am hoping, along with thousands of pens fans, that this is the year we bring the cup back the pittsburgh.

Opening day of trout 4/12

I dont usually get to excited for the opening day of trout. I am not much of a trout fisherman, i like to catch bigger fish. Plus I usually dont eat what I catch so for me to catch a dozen 9-10 inch fish, i would rather catch 2 or three 20 inch bass. This year is different, i am going to break down and pay the extra 8 bucks for a trout stamp. This is the first year i dont have to work so i plan on going up to my camp rain or shine. If any body has any suggestion on how to doctor up some trout to eat i would appriciate it.

Its finally warming up!

I am so glad that it is finally getting warm outside. I can actually walk around in just a sweat shirt. I find myself in such a better mood when im not freezing cold as soon as I step outside. I especially like that all the trees and plants are beginning to turn green, it reminds me how much I enjoy being outside after a winter of hiding in my apartment. The thing I am most excited about is being able to take my boat out and go fishing. I will be out on the water at least 3 days a week once it gets alittle warmer and the Bass come out of their winter sanctuaries.

Pirates Pool it off in the 10th

Last night was the pirates first official game of the season. I didnt watch much of the begining of the game, I actually didnt turn it in til the bottom of the 9th. When i turned it on I got all excited because the pirates were actually winning 9-5. Just before i was about to turn the channel thinking they had the game in the bag, I see the other team gets a hit. This is when I said to myself "watch them give up this lead an loose" jokingly. Sure enough with two outs they give up two runs and there was a person on second and third. A ball was hit and what should have been a routine fly catch was dropped, giving up the tieing run. Luckily they pulled it of in the 10th, but i see this as what we can expect throughout the season from our pirates.

What happened to Pitt

We all had high hopes for this years pitt baskettball team, who finished the regular season strong. For some reason, no matter how strong the team seems going into march madness, they never live up to the expectations when the tournement actually comes around. On the 22nd of March, the number four seed Pitt lost in an upset to Michigan state, ending there hope of becoming national champions. Pitt jsut couldnt produce against the outstanding Defense of Michigan. I guess there is always next year as a number of our starters are returning.

March Maddness

The March maddness NCCA Baskettball tournement is finally here. I normally dont follow college basketball until this tournement. It seems every game is a good game cause teams no ther is no tomorrow if they lose. I usually fill out a bracket every year but i didnt get around to it this year. What i have found in previous years is that the people who feel they no everthing there is to no about college basketball are usually not the ones that win. The people who win are the ones who no nothing about it and just choose the teams they like better, or the girls who win by choosing there favorite color of jerseys.

Pens take the Flyers 7-1

I am a huge pens fan and i am alittle upset i missed the action on sunday. We played our rival team, and team i hate the most the philadelphia flyers. I unfortunatly had to work but i listened to most of the game on the radio. Even without our star player in the mix the pens were able to work together to destroy the competition. Evgeni Malkin and Petre Sykora both ahd two goals, with Sykora having a four point game after setting up both of Malkins goals. Mark-Andre Fleury also had a great game letting everybody know he's back in action saving 24 out of 25 shots. The Phili goalie may have done better if he just laid down infront of the goal.
