Sunday Plans

• Heading out to PNC Park today to take in the Pirates final home game of the season. It is Fan Appreciation Day, and a cynic would say that the Pirates damn well better appreciate the fact that I have attended 16 games during this god-awful season. However, with a Pirates win today, I will have witnessed the team go 8-8 in games that I have attended.
• Will set the DVR for the Steelers game, and will watch it later with the finger on the fast forward button. Here's hoping the Steelers defense will force some turnovers and give the offense some short field opportunities to actually score some touchdowns today.
• While almost no one in the world cares, I am hoping that Jim Furyk will win the Tour Championship today and also secure the FedEx Cup for 2010. After the classy way he handled his DQ from the first event of the PGA Tour's Playoff series, that would be a most deserving reward. And when you think of it, what name on the FedEx Cup would give it a greater cachet, Jim Furyk or Charley Hoffman?
• Very interesting column by Joe Starkey int he Trib today about the fortunes of Pitt football. How far has Wanny moved the program from the days of the "It's Not My Fault" Walt Harris Era? Check it out: http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/sports/s_701374.html
• Gene Collier in the PG also has a good column on the same topic: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/10269/1090465-150.stm
• Enjoy the day, Everyone!
