You’re missing the Pirates’ minor league lodestone, Jose Tabata, who is making $4m this year to not be on our 40-man and to never get picked off of waivers and then he complains we’re not giving him a big league opportunity. Grumble.

My first boyfriend in 8th grade gave me his cartridge of Chrono Trigger to convey the depths of his feelings. Still probably the best gift I've ever received from a boyfriend.

Don't forget Exhibit D!

Legal reporting in most major outlets is ridiculous. Just a month ago half the internet was convinced SCOTUS banned breastfeeding in the office.

Nope. He's always going to be a big name with a big following. He will always be worth the short term publicity.

I don't see how it's ambiguous at all, it's just another…

As a Pirates fan, I can tell you this was both comforting/depressing to read after the Wild Card game tonight.

No.

I would disagree with the Pirates trying to co-opt the Penguins (by what, the act of actually winning?), but I think your other points are dead-on. There's also the factor the Pirates and Pens games are reasonably affordable (Pens still have student rush, Pirates have some of the lowest prices in baseball). Steelers…

The Pittsburgh drag scene is a lot more entertaining than Steelers games.

I'm a Pittsburgher, but not a Steelers fan, so I didn't write in, but here's another great feature of Steelers fans: OTHER SPORTS DON'T EXIST AND YOU ARE DAMNED IF YOU THINK THEY DO.
