TEAM NEWS

by Jerry Fairish, Pittsburgh Correspondent

Well, here we are at the halfway marker in the season and guess what...the Penguins still have a legitimate chance of pulling this whole thing off.

What I mean by that is not just playing well enough to secure a spot in the playoffs, I'm talking about winning the whole sunshiny show. I think the Penguins have found their groove as far as playing as a team goes. Now all they need is to keep everyone healthy, keep scoring on a consistent basis, and just let Tom Barrasso do what he does best and I think the Pens have a real chance.

The Pens are 20-14-7 for 47 points. This places them 11 behind Philly for the top spot in the Atlantic and eight points behind the Devils for the second spot. This isn't bad for a team who nobody (not myself of course) expected to make the playoffs. Well, I got news for all those non-believers...it's gonna happen and shame on you for turning on a team when they're hurting.

Myself on the other hand, I was behind the Pens from the get-go. I think if you look back at my first article this season it says something along the lines of "They're gonna suck." but that wasn't me who wrote it. It breaks down like this...I originally submitted the article to Editor-in-Chief Mike Dell. Mike Dell decided to change all the sentences that read, "They're going to be awesome" to" They're gonna suck." Why did he do this? I think to just stir up controversy. That's my opinion.

In my last issue I asked you, the readers, to send E-mail. And the response was overwhelming. I received a whopping 455 letters of praise in just a 10-day span. So I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for writing, and as a reward I have taken excerpts from some of my favorites and posted them here for you to read. I have left the last names off for privacy reasons, and for the fact that these girls are mine and I'm not sharing.

Dear LCSGod, Zippy sucks...you rule...you make the website what it is...Zippy's gay...Will you marry me?

Forever yours,
Shelly

Shelly, you're right. Zippy does suck.

Jerry, how is it that this "webpage" was able to succeed without you being there for the first 10 years or so? P.S. I love you.

Just curious,
Michelle

Michelle, I too was wondering how these five idiots (I counted Zippy twice) survived without my writing skills. I feel that now that I have arrived that these jabronies should be kissing the ground I walk on.

Jerry, how much does Mike Dell weigh?

Love,
Mom

Dear Mom, you've seen Mike Dell; he can't weigh any more than 75 pounds.

Dear Jerry, I loved your pictures at the Happy Birthday Baby Jesus game. On top of being the hottest guy I've ever seen, why didn't you kick Zippy's a**?

Chimp hater,
Matthew

Dear Matthew, I wanted to pummel the chimp on several different occasions, unfortunately LCS Company Policy states that no writer shall beat on the chimp. You should know that.

Well, folks, that's it for me. Why? Because I can!
