All Hail Ocho

Thanks Chad, for making this dark day a little bit brighter with your amazing penchant for gauging the cultural pulse of the day.

Seriously, Chad Johnson is the black Karl Pilkington. For further evidence, enjoy KSK's take on Ocho, if you haven't been following the hilarity for months.

Funny

Thanks, Fail.

Desperation is a stinky cologne

The upshot of the recent Pittsburgh-Atlanta trade of Nate Mclouth for Gorkys Park and a couple minor prospects is that I've learned that this year, the Pirates could tie the Phillies for the all-time longest streak of losing seasons, at 16. That's a long, long time to suck.

Adam LaRoche nicely captures the bleak, hopeless reality that is Pirates Baseball as he says, "It's kind of like being with your platoon in a battle, and guys keep dropping around you. You keep hanging on, hanging on, and you've got to figure: How much longer till you sink?"

Mr. LaRoche then returned to his task of painting his fingernails black and huffing paint.

Pride. Passion. Pittsburgh Pirates.
