A Trip to the Dentist
Hines Ward continues his holdout, which has to be one of the lamest things in sports for an athlete to do. Not only does he tell everyone, "I'm taking my ball and going home until I get what I want!" but it gives a bad public persona about said player. The situation here is that Ward feels he wants a massive payraise into the stratusphere of wideouts. The Steelers aren't putting him that high. Ward does have a point, he made $1.9 million last year when guys like Justin McCareins and Amani Toomer made around $6 million. Try telling me those 2 are better. That's what I thought. But the timing is really awful, the Steelers have a legitimate chance to win the Super Bowl this year, and this may be as good a chance as any in a league where chances at a super bowl are rare, and super bowl teams now almost annually, miss the playoffs the next year (See Carolina and Oakland) Will the Steelers miss the playoffs this year? On paper, probably not, but then again here it's about winning the big one, not making the playoffs. So, Hines wants more money. Go live on 1.9 million this year and test the free agent market then. Someone will pay you what you want.
The Pirates continue to suck. Zach Duke is off to a fantastic start. Will he be the pitcher to build around. Or will he be traded down the road for prospects? It's happened to every other good Pirates player in the past decade. Until I see differently, the same cycle will continue. But that's years down the road if at all.
OK, the Fort Armstrong Folk Festival started today. Go to the art display and see Penny Ashley's and Margaret Brown's work! Those are 2 of my aunts, and are very good artists. I however, know how to draw stick people and that's about it. Avoid driving in downtown Kittanning for the next few days, it's gridlock and parking is next to impossible.
It was bloody hot today, around 92 or so. When does fall start? So that's about it. What a long blog. Until next time, have a happy day.
