I’m just happy that nobody in my family or friends have died this year. We had four funerals last year alone. My grandmother in January, wife’s friend in April after he was murdered, wife’s aunt in July, my aunt in September. Throw in my uncle in 2014 and my grandfather and wife’s step father in 2013, it’s been a…

My cousin’s oldest was born the day after Christmas. He's only 7 and he is already having people give him combined presents.

The Pirates are the Summer Steelers or the Baseball Steelers?

My dad was drafted and went to Vietnam in 1966. Besides him saying that country was a shithole and he hated watching two close friends get killed and a third get permantly disabled and nearly getting killed himself and how he hated the weather there and how he had to shut down his business that he had started the day…

Actually the Aleutian Islands were invaded by the Japanese as a diversion to draw US forces away from the main fighting in Midway. The US knew this as they had broken the code. With the help of the Canadians, the US was able to drive off the Japanese over a year later.

I agree with you. In my 36 years, they’ve won two World Series. Here’s a list of teams that haven’t done that: Orioles, Rays, Indians, White Sox, Tigers, Angels, Athletics, Mariners, Rangers, Astros, Braves, Mets, Expos/Nationals, Cubs, Reds, Pirates, Brewers, Diamondbacks, Padres and Rockies.

I went to sleep last night thinking the Marlins really fucked up because everyone else was still reporting that he was alive but in serious condition and some moron working for the Marlins running the scoreboard misheard very sick for dead and came up with that.

But isn't low hanging fruit there so you can pick it and eat it?

Reds have been complete dog shit this year. Except when they play the Pirates. They don't seem to care much about winning when they play other teams, but they sure seem to only care about winning when they play the Pirates this year and the last two seasons as well.

I remember Tuesday night when Greg Brown wasn’t there for a batter or two during that inning. I figured that he went to the can or went to go get a beer or two. I figured most team executives didn’t give a shit what the other teams announcers say about them. Then again, Pirates president Frank Coonelly called up and…

Now that people are saying it will be “hotter than usual”, I bet I shouldn't put away my extra jeans and jackets away yet. A few years ago I saw a local news report where it said that they expect a warmer than usual winter. Broke a lot of record lows that winter.

Gregory Polanco’s was much better.

Hey now, at least he brought home a World Series title in 2003. That’s more than what Bob Nutting, Bob Castellini, Mark Attanasio, Ron Fowler, Charlie and Dick Monfort, Larry and Paul Dolan, Mike Ilitch, Peter Angelos and plenty of other owners haven't done.

Been saying that for years. I went there last summer and I still hated it. It feels run down still. I’m a Pirates fan and my brother in-law is a Cubs fan. We went to Pittsbrugh two years ago and he said that PNC is perfect and that if the Cubs could do something like that, he wouldn’t be too sad if Wrigley went away.

I remember when some idiot multi millionaire tried to get a new stadium in my hometown for the Midwest League team he just bought. He was worth well over $200 million and he wanted the tax payers in this county to pay for his $30 million stadium. The tax increase vote was defeated 2 to 1. At that point the city…

I dated a girl several years ago who was part Native American. I asked her about it and she basically said its a horrible name but not a big deal to her personally. Her dad was also NA and was a Cowboys fan who said that they should change their names to the Red Pussies.

PSI researcher J. Alex P. Rodriguez?

Who cares? The Pirates are a bigger more embarrassing shit show than the Rat Birds.

My wife had a dog who died about six months before we met. Only thing I know about it was that it pooped all over her yard and would destroy the house and poop inside if you left it alone for more than four hours at a time. She said she cried every night for the first week after it died. Then she started to enjoy the…

I read the first few paragraphs about taking pictures of your cats and all the normal cat things they did, just like how my wife and I snapchat each other pictures of our cat. I just wondered where this was going and then you got to the point where you said that you took your cats on your Honeymoon. I decided that's…
