My hot take is there should be *more* bandwagon fans. You want to be a diehard Pirates fan living and dying with every pitch despite the last 30+ years of near total ineptitude? Great! I’ll pay attention again if/when it’s worth it. There’s too many other things going on to care that much (for me).

And have cups of warm apple cider or mulled wine to hand out. Now we’re talking.

What kind of true, maple syrup-loving Canadian would be out trick or treating during a World Series game!?
In all seriousness, if you have space/it’s warm enough, you should set it up outside or as close to your door as possible so people out with their kids can watch for a minute.

HAVEN’T YOU SEEN OUTBREAK!?

I don’t care if he gets walked. Then you have the bases loaded and a ton of pressure on the pitcher and catcher. Even then, a bloop hit or an error on a sharp ground ball will score two.

1) I thought pinch runners were supposed to be fast. 2) What the hell were they thinking? I could tell from my couch he was going to be out by 10 feet.

1,700 points is a *lot* of points, especially considering Crosby lost basically four full seasons to concussions, lockouts and covid.

Hey, in all fairness, it’s worked like twice out of the 127 times they’ve played it.

My daughter is six and a half. It’s sad that for her entire life the Steelers’ best offensive weapon has been their kicker.
(I remember the night she was born. There were rumors the Steelers were going to trade AB for like the #8 pick. That didn’t happen but he was traded that offseason.)

Thank God you didn’t mock me for our lack of a tortilla press …

FCS schools don’t get beat this bad. Division II schools don’t get beat this bad. This is like when someone plays one of those fake schools in Texas and it’s 73-0 at halftime and they shorten the last two quarters to five minutes each and play with a running clock.

I think the Blue Jays win the World Series. Let’s make it go seven.

No, they are not reasonable. But this is not a time to be reasonable. Who knows if or when the Jays will make it back to the World Series?

You can also add Messi to that list. And it’s WAY too early but Skenes is off to a tremendous start too.

Terry @tkelly.bsky.social · 5d

He, Ovechkin, LeBron, McDavid … all super hyped and somehow met and exceeded expectations.

Is Mike Tomlin the greatest coach of all time then? He went 4-2 with Fields last year.

Haven’t read this (yet), but as a lapsed Pirates fan I’ve been asking this for seven years (and really more like 25).

Why Are There Still Pirates Fans? | Defector

PITTSBURGH — Baseball is one of those sports where most fans head into Opening Day at least with a hint of hope. How else do you explain 48,000 showing up for the Rockies’ home opener? This year, the…

I’m happy for the Blue Jays and their fans. I’m really sad for the Mariners and their fans. To have never been is just crushing.

I went to college in Colorado and jumped on the Rockies bandwagon in 2007 when they went to the World Series. I had no idea how to handle it. I found myself pausing their games when they were pitching and just skipping ahead later. Because only the other team can score when you’re pitching.

Kelly Gruber, Paul Molitor, Dave Stewart, Tony Fernandez, Roberto Alomar, Pat Borders, John Olerud, George Bell! Carlos Delgado, Jose Bautista, Russell Martin, Vernon Wells, Eric Hinske, Esteban Loaiza, the immortal Roy Halladay! Pat Hentgen! Juan Guzman! That’s a lot of Blue Jays to remember.
