Rather than a mailbag, I spent some time this week listing my superlatives for the Pirates' 2025 season. You can check them out here:

@pirates.com lose to the #EvilReds We did the best we could by winning the series 2 games to 1 It’s up to you, Mets and Diamondacks F Cincinnati

Finally Kelly gets Ashcraft out of there 2-0 #EvilReds

#RaiseIt @pirates.com 4 #EvilReds 3 in 11 innings Buccos win game two of “Mission Send the Reds Golfing on Monday” To the Mets and Diamondbacks: you’re welcome Pirates win the series The Reds suck Cue Bobbing Head Pirate Cat

The sickos’s are pleased! #AEW

The Conglomeration secured a victory over the Don Callis Family. Hologram clinched the win against Hechicero. #AEWDynamite

I hate the fuc$in #EvilReds

…or until he’s finished filming his next movie, whichever comes first.

What a great play by York and Horowitz to get the Pirates out of the eighth!

Paul's fun to watch.

SKENES IS DONE!!! He finishes his season with an ERA of 1.97 WELCOME TO PITTSBURGH MR. CY YOUNG

For God sakes get him out of there after this inning!!! It’s killing me, him and Livvy

Skenes after five complete now has an ERA of 1.98. GET HIM OUT OF THERE KELLEY!!! #CyYoung

It’s MOOP night in Philly!

Paul Skenes is now the Pirates single-season strikeout leader among right-handed pitchers.  His 211 Ks in 2025 now rank sixth all-time among all Pirates pitchers in a single season.

#RaiseIt @pirates.com 4 #EvilReds 2 Buccos win game one of “Mission Send the Reds Golfing on Monday” Tomorrow is the last Paul Skenes Day of 2025 Cue Bobbing Head Pirate Cat

We have an update to the lineup. Joey Bart was removed from the starting lineup due to left wrist discomfort.

As of right now, Jet Greaves should be the number one goaltender for the #CBJ The numbers don’t lie.

I really promised myself over the summer, I wasn’t going to get upset about Elvis Mezlikins this year 7 saves on 9 shots SV% .778 He’s in midseason form 🤦 If they don’t make the playoffs, it will be because of Elvis and since Waddell refused to buy him out, he should be fired #CBJ

I have never been prouder of my fellow Ohio University alumni 🥹 #OhioBobcats #CFL #JohnsonOut @ohiouniversity.bsky.social

In my opinion, they are rushing him. Why bring him up the last week of the season? If he had been in AAA all year fine. I think it’s too big of a jump.

I don’t even have to read the article to say this: for God’s sake fire Ben Cherington and let the new GM hire the new manager. What kind of mystical grip does Ben have on Nutting? Is there blackmail involved? Did Ben save Nutting’s life? Do they both secretly hate Pittsburgh? What gives? #WTF 😮😱

Every time I see Eduardo Perez:

A dollar to donuts says Orange is immediately involved in Kris Statlander’s storyline.

A screaming baby on an airplane would be an improvement over Costas

This is the end of Canadian football as a game. It’s just now the Canadian Football League. At this point you might as well just play NFL rules. I hope the Canadian football fans boycott the league, don’t go to games, don’t watch,don’t buy merchandise and force this moron out. I won’t be watching.😡

OAKLAND WE DID IT!!!! 🏆

Congratulations to the Ballers. Oakland’s championship team!

Yeah, I know it’s only an exhibition game but… Cue Dancing Stinger #CBJ 4 Blues 1 #BOOM

Hockey is back! #CBJ

@pirates.com 11 Sacramento 0 Another shutout at home #LetsGoBucs win the series See you next spring at PNC Cue bobbing head pirate cat

@pittsburghsteeler.bsky.social WIN! 21-14 over the Pats On to Dublin ☘️🇮🇪 # HereWeGo

I might be a lifelong Steelers fan but this uniform and helmet is my favorite uniform of all time. Their regular uniform/helmet is an abomination not only to the game of football but all sensibilities of fashion and taste. Or to put it another way: it’s just f’n ass ugly.

HOLY CRAP! The @pirates.com WIN A GAME. Bucs 2 Sacramento 0 The A’s are held to (I tell you you’re not gonna believe it when I say it) ONE HIT! The Pirates have their 14th shut out at home for the first time since 1915 It’s been a real long time, but CUE THE BOBBING HEAD PIRATE CAT!!!

Believe it or not, the Glenn Miller Orchestra. If he was still living, my dad (and Mom) would be 103 years old. They were both 39 years old when I was born. (yes you can do the math).

If you see this picture, you know what happened Sacramento 4 @pirates.com 3 (and yes I am calling them Sacramento)

A musical set at a Canadian high school in the 50's called Geese.

Attn: Don Waddell Dear Utah how does Elvis sound to you? #CBJ

Us #CBJ fans already know the answer to this one…

You don’t say…

Bart with a three run cannonball @pirates.com battle back to make the score 4-3 Cubs Yeah, like that’s gonna make a difference

4-0 Cubs Methinks thinks Oviedo is throwing his last game in MLB #FireCherington #SellTheTeam I have things to do later in the day. I’ve decided to post the deflating parrot right now cause this game is over. Thank God NHL training camps open tomorrow

JFC 🤦‍♂️a true 💩🎪 at PNC Park tonight #FireCherington #SellTheTeam Deflating Parrot, blah blah blah Thank God they only have 10 games left, which means they can only lose 10 more games

It’s unfortunate but I think Paul Skenes just lost the NL Cy Young Award tonight
