So the Pirates won today.

Once more, the Pirates won today.

Alright, I figure I might as well say it as many times now as I can because who knows how many times it will actually happen this season. I'm not expecting a lot from the Buccos this year, but at the same time, part of me thinks they're going to win the pennant ala the Rays of last season (hey, don't ever say I'm not an optimist).

I'm really hopeful for a few reasons, mainly because I feel that Neil Huntingdon and Frank Coonelly are the right people to turn this organization around, even if Bob Nutting is the worst owner in the history of professional sports. Drafting and signing (and signing again) Pedro Alvarez was a huge step in the right direction as well as locking up McClouth, Doumit, and Maholm through their arbitration years. Jose Tabata looks promising (worst case scenario is his wife steals a couple....nevermind those jokes have been used and abused already), Andrew McCutcheon is a star in the making and we should see him in Pittsburgh this summer, and worst case scenario if the season goes down hill quickly, there's always those defending Super Bowl Champions that play across the parking lot.

Schoolwise, I'm having a blast (who knew doing work could be fun?) even if I feel kind of overwhelmed at times. Working on a couple projects right now and hopefully I'll be able to link them here when they're done.

I'm also trying to figure out what to do this summer. I need to do an internship to get credits to graduate (ETA: Dec'09) so we will see what is going on with that.

Poker is going well right now, I'm on a bit of a heater to start off April, which is nice, but that's kind of the same way I started off March and then it went to total shit, so we will see if I can turn it around and have a decent month playin the ol' 100NLHU.

That's all I have for now, I think. Graph below.
