This has to be some experience for these two rookies from India. Winning a game show and heading to MLB to train with the bucs would have been a wildest dream for them one year ago but it is reality now.
PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates, who have emphasized a need to find talent via every available outlet, have gone where no team has gone before.
On Monday, the Pirates signed two young Indian pitchers, 20-year-old right-hander Dinesh Patel and 19-year-old southpaw Rinku Singh, as non-drafted free agents. Both will participate in the team's Minor League Spring Training next year.
Last night i was lazy browsing through some videos on youtube related to the 2008 U.S. general election. Going through videos of peoples reaction to the moment when Obama was announced the winner is a real nostalgic pleasure. I came across one video that really puts the perspective into how the other side functions. Why do i feek that all the republicans live in a domain that is very skewered and far from reality? This video just proves it or at least makes a strong case for it.
The video i'm talking about is Washington Post's Dana Milbank reporting on the mood in McCain headquarters on the night of Novemebr 4. Watch it yourself and let me know how you feel.
