Moreover, as a nonessential employee, Blake Bortles will also not be available for tomorrow’s game.

BORTLES!!!!!!

This is exactly the point that I wish people would recognize. Take a look at any case of serial sexual abuse in an institutional setting (schools/universities, churches, scouting, youth sports, hospitals, nursing homes, whatever). You are almost guaranteed to find a group of people who enabled the abuser, either by…

That.. that’s the joke.

sending Steyn to America is Canada’s revenge for our hogging the Stanley Cup

He has sex with a porn star while talking about his daughter... yup, that probably fits in nicely with the southern GOP boys.

Kemp was so scarred by the experience he decided to never have another season where he could possibly be an all-star.

Either way, you’re getting someone who’s spent a little time sitting courtside at Barclays.

“I’m OK with the twenty second time limit for delivery, won’t effect my performance either way. I may have a problem with this whole ‘only one visit to the mound’ thing though.”

Are there any restrictions planned on willful franchise destruction? Or operating a top-market team like a debt-ridden recent college graduate with an art history degree?

I lived at Allegheny Center while going to Pitt. In 2011 I would walk the block to PNC Park and grab tickets and go straight in. I agree, great park.

I’ve taken a bunch of ballpark road trips (25 stadiums so far) and PNC is my favorite. Gorgeous ballpark.

I was driving through in either ‘08 or ‘09. I paid $10 for a ticket while walking across the bridge to the stadium for a game against the Cardinals. I sat about 5 rows from the field right at first base and got to see Albert Pujols joke around with some kids between innings.

That gif is great. Pirates-era Barry Bonds would’ve slapped that kid with his glove and challenged him to a home run contest. Especially if he was a teammates’ son.

like me.

“The city is firm on it’s refusal to pay money to help subsidize a new stadium. We are however, open to letting them sacrifice up to 25 towns people a year to their blood God, in hopes of gaining his favor and securing a winning season. Our stance is firm.”

I have no idea if their business model will work, and Mather comes across a douchey, but if subscription model sites can allow writers to earn a living as we make the final transition away from print (with several exceptions) then I have to say The Athletic is a net positive.

Never trust anyone who speaks in superlatives.

Most of them don’t know what a President is supposed to do, except boring stuff they don’t care about. I’d expect they say this sort of thing is precisely why he’s a much better President than Obama.
