A local bar here has installed Stan Kroenke's face in all it's urinals and also put his face on all its dartboards.

.

Where is this bar? (Please be warned that if you tell me, the bar will have a sudden influx of Londoners lining up to piss on and throw darts at the wig wearing asshole!)

Kroenke also owns Arsenal fc (my team) and we despise him with all of our hearts. 10 years of misery since he bought the club, he's made hundreds of millions and invested nothing!!

That sounds like the Nuttings. they own my baseball team, the Pirates.

And the Pirates sure are being dusted in the NL Central.  With all the moves the Reds have made this off-season, this division could easily be the most competitive in baseball.  The only team that seems to be on the outside looking in is Pittsburgh.  Between all the moves the NL East teams have made and what's happened in the NL Central, the National League should be a lot more interesting than the American League where the AL East might be intriguing but the AL Central and the AL West?  Not so much.

I LOVE this on so many levels!

Oh for sure. Every team improved their roster (inevitably increasing their payroll). The Pirates? Their payroll decreased to $70 million. That's pathetic. They aren't even trying yet the PR machine makes it sound like they'll be vying for the division title. Every fan knows the truth. But we will have bobbleheads and fireworks nights to get us through the summer.

Currently watching the Maple Leafs and Rangers

Watching the Blackhawks and Bruins.

Watching the Blues lead the Wild 2 to 0.

Watched AAF last night. Kind of boring but I hung with it.

I don't actually watch hockey but WTH has gotten into the Blues lately.  Holy crap, they'd won 9 in a row coming into that game and one more win would tie the franchise record.

I DO know one thing, that kid they stuck in goal has been on a roll.

EDIT: And I see St. Louis won 4-0 for their 10th in a row.  Holy crap are they hot or what?

They go for a franchise record 11th consecutive win Tuesday.

The Blues broke the franchise record last night getting their 11th win in a row.

Man for a team that looked like crap for most of the season they sure have been on a roll.

Watching the Premier Boxing Champions prelims on Fox FS2.  The main event starts on FS1 in about an hour.

The NHL game between Toronto and Montréal. After the first period, Montréal was winning 3-0. After the third Montréal goal, I told my parents, "I think we know the outcome of this one already."

Toronto ended up winning 6-3.

Watching the Kings and Lightning

And here is an article that sums up the state of Pirates baseball nicely :

Wow, the Pirates payroll is less than the Marlins'??

Just watched the Tar Heels beat Duke!!

Watching Premier Boxing on Fox

Just watched Michigan beat Minnesota in NCAA basketball.

Watched Duke beat NC last night and today I watched Tennessee beat Kentucky.  Tomorrow it will be the selection show.

After freezing myself at the St. Patrick's Day Parade, I watched the Penguins play a sloppy game against the Blues and lose 5-1.

And Duke wins the ACC Championship and probably a number one seed in the tournament.

Watched them beat Florida State by 10 points tonight.  This team is formidable with Zion back.

Duke seems to be a real polarizing school; people either like them or loathe them, there's no middle ground.

Right now I'm enjoying Auburn clobbering Tennessee.
