In baseball news, the Cubs surprisingly lost the first two games even though they're expected to win the world series. Teetering on the edge of ending their astonishing 100 year curse, they committed 5 errors through the first two games and the Los Angeles Dodgers jumped on every mistake the Cubs made. The Red Sox beat the Angels' best pitcher even though they used their youngest and most inexperienced pitcher. Jason Bay replaced Manny and hit the momentum shifting home run, giving the Sox the upper hand for the rest of the game. Jason Bay used to play for the Pittsburgh Pirates, the laughing stock of the MLB. The Pirates are now leading the American sports world as the holder of the consecutive longest losing streak, having had a losing record for the last sixteen seasons. Sixteen. The poor people of Pittsburgh have suffered through these last sixteen years, trying to hold on to the good old days of Andy Van Slyke in the early 90s. Thankfully, they have the beautiful amazingness of the Pittsburgh Steelers to tyde them over.
