The Pirates will never be right if you don't want them to be →

A perfectly long read that sums up my attitude with respect to the Bucs. In my mind, this goes perfectly with the short wisdom of James Heath.
Pat Lackey over at WHYGAVS brings the truth:
No one ever views anything in a positive context when you’re a baseball team that hasn’t had a winning season in 18 years. This week, the Pirates had two incidents that probably would’ve been blips on the radar if they’d happened anywhere else (or happened here with the Penguins and Steelers), but that were blown up into big stories because people expect the Pirates to be idiots and whenever the Pirates do anything, people start with the assumption that the Pirates are morons and trying to screw people over and then work backwards.
real undergrad
i’m thankful that i went to undergrad and got a degree in something real before going to seminary. there are these people here who got undergrad degrees in youth ministry or something ridiculous like that and then come right to seminary - today a lady like that gave a presentation on hitler and some related church stuff.
she absolutely butchered the history surrounding hitler. more than likely, she got her facts from the movies. our professor was like ‘well, if you’re going to write a history paper, you need to be sure you get the history right.’
it’s not often that i think about how useful my bachelor’s in history has been for me, but at least i didn’t embarrass myself when i gave my presentation on slavery a few weeks ago.
these people
senior research methodology
- me: can you pick this book up at the library today (link to library website)
