There was one good thing that happened yesterday…….

Congress imposed a government shutdown?  Fuck you, pay me. Oh, had a fire? Fuck you, pay me. The place got hit by lightning? Fuck you, pay me.

 

( All posts will start with this until the shutdown is over).

 

Boy talk about a , when it rains it pours moment. The S.O. was eating a gummi bear last night when, her bridge came loose. ( she has a small one on the right side of her mouth). This morning was a mad scramble to find a dentist that could get her in this morning. Another 207 Euro I didn't need to spend.

Of course, we are still nowhere close to a solution to the shutdown.

 

But there was one amazing thing that happened yesterday:

 

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Pirates went 21 years between playoff games. The wait will be significantly shorter this time around.

Russell Martin homered twice, Francisco Liriano was dominant for seven innings and the Pittsburgh Pirates roared past Cincinnati for a 6-2 victory in the NL wild-card game Tuesday night.

In front of a black-clad crowd savoring its first postseason game since 1992, Marlon Byrd also connected and Andrew McCutchen had two hits and reached base four times for Pittsburgh.

"We're for real," McCutchen said. "We're definitely for real."

Liriano scattered four hits for the Pirates, who will face St. Louis in Game 1 of the NL division series Thursday. Liriano struck out five and walked one to win the first playoff game of his career.

"We didn't talk about one and done, we talked about one and run," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "Win one and run to St. Louis."

BUCS WIN!  BUCS WIN!   BUCS WIN!

Now:

Fuck you, pay me.
