Quote of the Week: "Its always darkest right before dawn. So if your going to take your neighbor's newspaper, that is the best time to do it. "
Movie Review: Finally watched "No Country for Old Men". It is a combination of too long of a movie with too long of an ending. I did find the serial killer character played by Javier Bardem to be just creepy enough to keep it interesting. Josh Brolin (one of the kids from The Goonies) plays a guy who stumbles upon 2 millions dollars in cash in 1980 and is chased after by the serial killer. The movie went on to win 4 Oscars including best picture, I respectively disagree. The climax of the movie happens about 15 minutes before the end of the movie and simply drags on until the credits roll. Worth watching, maybe. Worth watching again.... no.

Baseball Bitching:
We find ourselves in familiar teritorry once again as we reach the All-Star Break in MLB. The Pirates are now 37-46 and 7.5 games out of first. They are 2-5 since the Nyger Morgan trade last Tuesday. They have 5 games left before the official All-Star Break next week (2 @ Hou, 3 @ Phi). They are currently on pace to finish 72-90, another sad year. There have been some bright spots (the emergence of Andrew McCutchen, much imporved pitching) but the trades last week, really took the wind out of their sails.
