What SPORTS did you watch today?

Pirates vs Reds. 4 solo shots and a Jordy Mercer clutch hit in the top of the 9th gives the Pirates a 5-4 victory.

Watched the Penguins play a lackluster game and lose to the Lightning 3-1. I knew they were in trouble when they couldn't capitalize on a 5 minute power play in the first period.

Watched the Royals beat the Braves last night.

Currently watching Minnesota vs Cleveland because....well, there's nothing else on.

I see the Pirates folded again to Arrieta.  Dammit.  While I was watching MLB Network earlier today they cut to that game as the Pirates took a 2-0 lead and I was psyched.  I see that's all the runs they got though and lost 8-2.

I hate the Cubs.

Yeah I wasn't too thrilled about today's pitching !arch up, Locke vs Artists. I was mildly surprised by the Pirate lead but that evaporated quickly. I've really grown to hate the Cubs and the broadcast kept showing their smug fans. I really hope the Cubs are denied a World Series.

Yep.  The Cubs already just assume they're going to the World Series.  OK, I get it; they've sucked for so long and now that they're actually a good team their fan base is excited.  But it's all about the attitude; both from the fans and the team.  I would say "act like you've been there before" but since they haven't I guess they're entitled to behave like juveniles.

In today's game, right after the Pirates scored their 2 runs and first base was open, what did Arrieta do?  He hit the next batter.  Kang sort of gave him a dirty look but that's about as far as it went.  We all know what would have happened if it was the other way round.  Maddon would have blown a gasket and started bloviating again in his post-game speech about how the Cubs will "take care of business".  F him and the Cubs.

Absolutely

Pirates vs Cubs. No score in the top of the 6th. Lester's working on a no hitter.

Final of the game, Pirates 2,Cubs 1. Lester's no hitter is broken up by Marte with a single and stolen base followed by a run scoring double by Kang. Kang followed that up with a solo shot. Gerrit Cole pitched a great game allowing only three hits. Melancon came in and shakily gets the save.

Watching MLB Tonight on MLB Network and they just cut live to the Pirates beating the Shlubs 2-1.  Yay!!! Cubs lose!!!  Cubs lose!!!  Cubs lose!!!

I watched the Toronto Raptors take out the Miami Heat and advance to the third round of the playoffs!

Now watching the Cardinals vs Dodgers on ESPN.

Did anyone else see that shot Rougned Odor of the Rangers landed on Jose Bautista of the Jays? 

Talk about a haymaker; you don't usually see clean punches like that in a baseball fight.  Too bad these two team don't play again this year but I guarantee it will blow up again next year.

Here it is if you didn't see it.  Major fines/suspensions sure to follow:

I'll have to catch that later. I can't view that on this tablet.

Hoping my Dodgers can pull the sweep here.

That was a punch!!!

No kidding!  I've seen weaker punches in sanctioned boxing matches.

Flipped back and forth between the Pirates vs Braves and the Penguins vs Lightning games.

Saw that the hockey game was going into overtime so I went to bed. I should have stayed up since it only lasted for 40 seconds before Crosby won it for the Penguins.

Pirates vs Braves. Wow are the Braves a bad team. Pirates are winning 9-3 in the top of the 4th,batting around in the first.

Yeah the Braves are REALLY bad.  They have to be; the Cardinals swept them after being swept by the Pirates to start the season.

The Cardinals only sweep really bad teams; so far this year it's been the Braves and the Angels.   But we GET swept by good teams, the Pirates and the Nationals.

But at least we DID manage to salvage one game in the three we've played with THE Almighty Cubs so far this season.

You know, if the Cubs somehow manage to make it to the World Series I actually think I could root for ANY American League team aganst them, even the Red Sox or the Yankees (two teams I utterly despise)

It's the Maddon factor coupled with the Theo Epstein factor; the Cubs arrogance just oozes out over everything they do.

Yeah I can go along with that.

Rockies @ Cardinals

No score so far in the third.
