I’m not a good neutral when it comes to watching sports. If I don’t have a rooting interest, it’s got to be a marquee game: Two top-flight opponents, Game 7 of a series, single-elimination playoff, Super Bowl, something like that. So, I’m not that enthusiastic about the Stanley Cup playoffs. (Though the first round did conclude with a couple of dynamite Game 7s.)For the third year in a row, the Penguins aren’t participating. Montreal, my long-time mistress team, lost in the first round.

The Pirates fired Derek Shelton. It changes nothing. Relieving Shelton of his managerial duties is just appeasing the mob. A head on a pike. A perceived fresh start. All PR, nothing practical. Not that Shelton didn’t deserve the ax. His .410 winning percentage is third-worst among managers with at least five seasons of tenure. (That’s since MLB integrated.)You can’t polish excrement. The Pirates have an awful roster. Half their players aren’t legit big-leaguers.
