Running the Olympic Torch through a Fireworks Factory: The Story of the 2026 Pirates’ bullpen.

Quote with a fictional band that is not Spinal Tap

If things keep going down the drain, I think there’s only one thing that could possibly heal our broken nation: 2026 CFP Championship for Pitt Football

The goddamn Cardinals, every time.

This might be his best quote in the last two years.

Da Wurld Has Turned and Left Meesa Here

walk-off HR in a game in which player’s team had no hits through at least 8 innings, expansion era (1961): Zach Neto, 5/18/2026 Angels vs. A’s (9th inning) Josh Harrison, 8/23/2017 Pirates vs. Dodgers (10th) Don Lock, 7/29/1963 Senators vs. White Sox (9th) h/t @EliasSports

only look at that dunk I wanted

I really don’t have words for how exquisite this game has been.

Caruso vs. Wemby is double OT

The level of effort from both of these teams is beyond commendable. Incredible basketball at the highest level.

I don't think folks younger than 30 know what the internet once legitimately promised to be (and I would argue briefly was): a boundary-less space of pretty much uncommodified information and communication. A mix between community bulletin boards and university library stacks.

A notebook I get, but why do the lawyers need to use a gun?

Good article by @benjaminsolak.bsky.social on why the Steelers passing offense was bad last year, and whether it can be better this season www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Same thing they said before “Smooth” came out.

Timothy Olyphant doing Western Conference finals commercials for NBC? I like it a lot.

Unfortunately, Pat has insisted on using Toby Keith’s “Big Bull Rider” as his entrance song.

Not clear from the quote if he's objecting to the sex part or the simulation part.

The Thucydides Trap is Giannis’ preferred defense after a made basket late in a close game.

I think enough time has passed that we can all finally admit Randy Johnson was right to kill that bird.

I have an idea.

I know I'm taking the engagement bait here, but this list is truly one of the dumbest things I've ever seen a national baseball personality publish.

Only half kidding when I say I think the Rockies found something with Keller tipping his pitches.

This some of the most heads-up baserunning you’re ever going to see.

Many people are asking whether Mitch Keller should start for the NL in the All-Star Game.

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

"I’m pleased to have the unredacted versions, though, because they narrate the push to clean up Downtown succinctly and honestly, spelling out the true drivers of policy: the unbridled revulsion of much of the propertied class for people who have the audacity to exist as poor in public," she writes.

[Obi-Wan voice] “He’s more machine now than man…”

unless i've counted slightly wrong i believe paul skenes currently has 40 strikeouts since his last walk

The Pirates’ plan for this season, if they had one, seems to be keeping their best pitchers healthy, squeeze into the playoffs with a moderately better offense, and then ride the playoff rotation as far as they’ll take them.

Paul Skenes is the first pitcher with 8+ scoreless innings and no more than two hits allowed in consecutive starts since Max Scherzer in 2015. The last Pirates pitcher to do it was Steve Blass in 1968.

What if “it happened” during a Paul Skenes no-hit bid?

This is a great episode of Planet Money on the recent CBA negotiations between the WNBA and its players.

I will definitely try these out, but it's still hilarious to me that a movie about street racers stealing TV/VCR combos has become a "universe" with spinoff movies and TV shows.

The most Millennial song is obviously “Millennium” by Robbie Williams.

10+ home runs and 15+ SB before playing 40th game of a season: 2026 Oneil Cruz 1987 Eric Davis 1967 Lou Brock

Rob Ruck, a Pitt legend, gets a 2026 SABR award! This is great news.

WTF? Let the man finish the game.

Constant interleague play was a giant mistake.

Besides Horowitz, the Pirates aren't doing much against Soroka, but Skenes is firmly in Maddux territory at the moment.

Have fun losing applicants to Sheetz.

The guy who did it for the 1971 Pirates was who you’d think it was. He was really awesome that year.

Not an answer to Joe's question, but I would like to see all of Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc. manage against all of Rogers Communications.
