Did ESPN already fire Olberman?

I have a friend from pittsburgh. He is a steelers fan, and was a yankees fan. This year he conviently started supporting the pirates... I called him out on it, and he said he supported the yankees because his grandma was a big fan. His grandma died a couple years, so he told me it was now ok to support the pirates. GTFO.

With that being said pittsburgh can always go fuck itself. I hope the reds win.

I love Elevator Ernie, but he is terrible as a broadcaster.

Liriano throws 4 to Choo, but only got credit for 3 strikes.

1st inning of a playoff game, and Votto is already not running out ground balls.

Liriano has thrown the same GD pitch every time and the Reds' hitters are just whiffing.

Hopefully this will get Dusty canned. It won't, but I can hope.

Not sure how liriano is now, but he was so nasty before his arm problems.

Also, I see choo still gets terrible jumps and can't judge fly balls

LOL of course. 2 runs is to much for this team to come back from. 100% serious.

Lets be honest guys...this Reds team chokes when it matters.

Pittsburgh has been 48-120 every year for the last 21 seasons.

Their frustrations are coming out tonight, we had no chance.

Frazier may have just saved ANY chance we have at coming back.
