Is ESPN/ABC going to interrupt college football broadcasts to break in on possible intentional walk scenarios?

It’s been some time since I’ve felt as if I don’t belong at work*, but that feeling returned with mustard tonight. *not in a can’t-do-the-work sense, just a feeling that I’m my own social group, while others chum it up. Trying to involve myself if I have anything to add feels like a record scratch.

As it turned out. We became sellers.

The march to the trade deadline rages on. We’re 11 games back of the division lead. Will the first year of Project Griffey see the Pirates lean toward buying or selling in 1989? Drops are and so am I. twitch.tv/shawncurtis430

If someone could edit this with Roc as the newborn cub, that might be kind of legendary.

Life after the 1989 All-Star break begins for Project Griffey. A 41-44 Pirates team sits eight back of first. Selling or buying at the deadline might be determined by the results of this very stream. Drops are on and so am I. twitch.tv/shawncurtis430

First image from the new phone. T.J. is a hack photographer’s dream.

Ever get the feeling after trying to solve or gain insight on a particularly difficult issue where you spend a lot of quality time with corporate customer service that your face might be on a dartboard somewhere in that facility?

After four days away for what I’ll call a “no-star break,” the streams are back. Come on in, join the 1989 Pirates OOTP save as Project Griffey is about to hit the halfway point of Season 1. Drops are on and so am I. twitch.tv/shawncurtis430

Wait the Rapture thing is for THIS Tuesday?? … that’s Little Shop. You’re just doing Little Shop youtu.be/WlZOXoprXX0?...

Was not anticipating the Bears speed-bagging Dallas like this.

Today on, “Wait. This was a Card that Happened?” … Eric Lindros apparently got a card for taking batting practice. Surely no athletes from sports other than baseball in the early 90s got baseball cards just for taking batting practice. Definitely not a basketball player in Chicago or anything.

Technologically advance a band: Alien Ant Production Plant

Ginny is doing what she can to prevent my exposure to the horrors of the Cowboys and Bears.

It is insane that, within a 5-minute span, two different players blocked a field goal, picked it up, and returned it themselves.

Love having a quarterback who doesn’t believe in science, pump fakes or looking off linebackers.

I know the Patriots have won six titles with the “flying Elvis” look, but how can you look at what they’re wearing today and think that they should wear any other uniform?

Steelers doing the thing at 1. The vibes are …

I got your L(ightning delay) right here.

Asking an R.E.M. fan to rank their favorite album is a quick way to pinpoint within 1-2 releases when they were first exposed to R.E.M.

Such a lovely day when I can go in circles with customer service reps from two big corporations over failures that could have easily been avoided with the best resolution passed along was a scripted apology and, “Please accept $10 off your bill for the next 12 months. It’s really all I can offer.”

I know Ginny has been shared on this account more than the other cats in recent posts, but look at her with this magazine-feature energy. If this photo accompanied a story with the headline “Ginny speaks about what’s next,” you’d read it. If only because your first thought was, “Cats can talk?”

I am not sure if Ginny wants to help with the dishes or if she thinks she’s the dishes.

Filled with a bowl of Cinnamon Life, our intrepid streamer continues on with the 1989 Pirates OOTP save. Will this be the episode where the club can gain ground on the NL East foes ahead of them? Drops are on and so am I. twitch.tv/shawncurtis430

A Ginny at rest in the late afternoon means a night filled with zoomies.

A somewhat massive series against the Mets is in the crosshairs. Can these 1989 Pirates cut that five-game gap on the division leaders? Will the Mets bury Pittsburgh in early June? Only OOTP knows. Drops are on and so am I. twitch.tv/shawncurtis430

Another 1989 Pirates OOTP stream is within reach. All you have to do is click on that link. I cannot promise much, but I can assure you that there will be no special teams gaffes that lead to game-changing touchdowns. Drops are on and so am I. twitch.tv/shawncurtis430

I think by rule of cat, the television belongs to Ginny.

Not sure how I feel about Dak Prescott’s “cop on vacation” facial hair with the fully-grown mustache over an extended five-o-clock shadow beard.

Current vibes before the Steelers do this football thing at 1 pm.

You know, I’ve always said that Eli Holstein is the best Pitt quarterback since Alex Van Pelt. To those of you who were receiving texts about the game earlier this afternoon, no, you didn't.

Trey Butkowski is offense, it appears.

I'm hoping they walk it to Clemson and drop it in front of the football building, like when a cat offers a kill to its human.

Bees!

First stream as a Twitch partner? Why not? Let’s rejoin those plucky 1989 Pirates on OOTP as we learn about friendship, teamwork and new addition Wally Joyner. Drops are on and so am I. twitch.tv/shawncurtis430

It appears that today, Pitt will play a third football game in as many weeks. Similar sentiments apply as they did the past two Saturdays.

When you name your school North Star, you seemingly are allowed to respectfully cop the logo of the Minnesota North Stars, within reason.

First football game sheet of the season. The season – now in its fourth week in Pennsylvania – is finally official.

This post will result in Jerry Jones signing a former NFL player currently collecting Social Security who he claims “can still play at a high level with the right coaching and system.” Jerry Rice thanks you for his new opportunity.

Some personal news … The grind somehow paid off.

A Wednesday stream as the itch to go trading with these 1989 Pirates is high. Join GM/manager Buck Skipper as he starts to put his own thumbprints on “Project Griffey.” Drops are on and so am I. twitch.tv/shawncurtis430

focus your eyes to the left in the stands lmao

Tackling yet another stream on the ol’ Twitch gimmick with the 1989 Pirates “Project Griffey” save. The team is struggling a bit, so that may mean I slap on the GM cap and make the stonks line go up. Drops are on and so am I. twitch.tv/shawncurtis430

It’s Monday. Garfield hates them. Nobody has to like them, but maybe checking in on the 1989 Pirates OOTP save at the end of April will make it a bit better. Drops are on and so am I. twitch.tv/shawncurtis430

Speaking as someone who would like to wake up for at least one Monday this season with the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North, I offer this suggestion to the Buffalo Bills … Run the touchdown play.

Folks, we are running back the pizza pasta skillet* for Week 1. The Steelers may lose today, but my gameday cooking remains undefeated. *once the oven preheats and I can complete the preparation process
