Here for the baseball banter
Both teams are terrible
Watching Browns fans melting down over Flacco to the Bengals ("He'll take them to the playoffs!!!!1!") is why this poverty fanbase has the poverty franchise it deserves.

Love that the Cubs are celebrating their playoff berth in Pittsburgh in front of the remaining 150 Pirates fans and another 100 Cubs fans

Cubs fans treated to another road win, but can you imagine going to PNC last night as a Pittsburgh Pirates fan? The worst team in sports has sunk to a new low after hyping up guys like Henry Davis and Oneil Cruz as “Superstars in the making” but hey, the team is EXTREMELY PROFITABLE. There is that.

MLB TV ratings are up across the board. The sport has been gaining popularity. The idea that owners are going to risk losing games in order to demand a salary cap is ludicrous. Baseball has more parity than most major sports. Don’t think that the CBA in 2027 is going to save your low revenue team.

Are there fans who are seriously banking on a salary cap? I sincerely hope that's not a majority view!!

The biggest part of the Pirates sham is they hype guys like Oneil Cruz & Bubba Chandler to be the saviors of the team. Imagine how bad they would be without Skenes. Now you have fans banking on a salary cap that is not going to happen. Sad.

Funny MLB is talking about expansion when there is one team in every division that is practically begging to be relegated.

The Dodgers are coming to Pittsburgh tonight and it’s laughable that some fans still think an MLB salary cap will be on the table in 2027. There is only one person pushing this narrative that I know of. A guy named DK in Pittsburgh. He’s only doing it for the clickbait. Obviously its not happening.

Pennsylvania is weird, man. They were pushing this “REAL ID” A few years back. I go to renew my drivers license so I asked about it. Even brought my passport but it wasn’t enough. “Sorry, we need 2 other forms of ID plus 2 pieces of mail. 😂

Sadly, some people in Pittsburgh will still attend baseball games in August & September. I really hope the owners don’t cancel games in 2026. Teams like the Pirates should not be rewarded for not giving a shit. MLB does not need a salary cap. There is more parady than other sports already

Pirates are saving 9 mil from the next several years by trading Ke’Bryan Hayes. Reds fans won’t love the move, but they really needed to improve their defense

Last night was Yinzerpalooza in Pittsburgh. How many of the 25,000 I attendance at the Pirates game know anything about this years team? 1/3? Maybe, but that might be generous. It was fireworks night. In typical fashion they lost 10-1 to go 20 games under on the season.

Not too worried about the Yankees. They are 11-18 going into the break including 2 long losing streaks. Probably not a good team. Blue Jays are decent. I wouldn’t count out the Rays
Fair. It’ll depend on the deadline and what teams get. If yanks and jays load up, everyone is in trouble in that division.

I think it really depends on how their young players develop.
They have the 3rd hardest schedule in baseball after the break and have played a decent amount more at hole than the road so far. They are terrible in the road. I’d note that Cora is routinely letting his guys throw over 100 pitches and using the same 3 relievers. They’re set to tank

I hadn’t noticed the Red Sox. They have won ten in a row and are looking like buyers at the deadline. They have gotten better since unloading Devers.

I’m not surprised the Pirates are 0-8 on this road trip. I would have been more surprised if they took a couple of games. What surprises me is that I’m actually paying attention or that anyone is for that matter

One of the most important moments in the history of Northeast PA. Buc-ee’s billboards. In Dunmore. What an historic day.

Pittsburgh Pirates are extra excited this month. They could potentially dump Bednar, Hayes, Keller and more. They remain one of the most profitable teams in baseball. People keep coming to see fireworks and eat pirogi’s. Same ol’ Sham

The Pirates sham is most obvious when they actually have some success. Like right now. They could leverage all of this good pitching to create a winner, but they are much more interested in unloading salary. Keller & Bednar will bring big savings. Perhaps others as well

Important series for the Mets. The June swoon is over and they better get it together in July. Brewers are solid. Mets need to take two.
