My mother and I were talking about her grandfather at dinner. It occurred to me that he was born in 1890 and died in 1979, so he hung in there. In his life, he saw every Pirates WS win (1909, 1925, 1960, 1971, 1979).
He took my grandmother (his daughter) and my mother (his granddaughter) to see games at Forbes Field. She's taken me to see games at Three Rivers and PNC. It's pointless I know, but just a little baseball connection to way back when. |

Sucks to see him go, but I'm glad the Royals didn't bite that bullet. It'll be interesting to see what they do with the payroll they cleared earlier this offseason now that he's off the shopping list. |

The Pens did a pretty good job smacking the Loafs around last night. They did what you need to do to beat the Leafs, put Austen Mathews on his butt and play the body against Marner and the rest. I still think the Pens are are favoured to go all the way.

The Pens have a good shot at the Wild Card and the post-season, but the Met Division is so tight and going into the Wild Card right now, they need to do everything right and get lucky with Boston, Philly, and Toronto doing everything wrong.
Vegas getting this far just shows how messed up the expansion team-building process is. New teams shouldn't be able to just cherry pick their way to the post-season in Year 1. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's a cross between a ball (perfectly round) and a turd (oblong) that the Stillers have used to win the Super Bowl six times and the Browns have used to disappoint generations of Clevelanders. On one hand I feel bad for Browns fans because they are so sad. On the other its their own fault. I cant stand sports radio. But I tuned in during the streak to see what they were saying. They were talking about the Browns the whole time. About how it was all gonna turn around. Yeah, they lost every freakin game. They get what they deserve. I know this whole town is still pissed at the Indians from the previous owners selling off anyone worth anything, but shit, now is the time to show up and support them. They deserve it way more than the Browns. But they wont. Maybe a bit more next year after Lebron leaves again. Maybe. |

Attached FileI know Philly as a whole sucks, but everytime Pittsburgh teams play a Philly team (Stillers-Eagles, Pens-Flyers, Pirates-Phillies) it's touted as a family thing, you know between brothers. But going against the Browns just feels more like taking that asshole down the street to Fist City. |

Manfred and the Union came to an agreement on pace of play rule changes.
Non-pitching change mound visits will be limited to 6 per nine innings. They are adding super slow-mo to the team reviews for challenges, and they are going to be monitoring the team communications to make sure they aren't stealing signs. They are are putting a clock on inning breaks. They are going to start enforcing the batter staying in the box rule. there was one other one too, I missed it though. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Total, but the exception is a visit after an offensive player change. Heres another exception. ETA: Holy shit. It includes infielders too. A player leaving his position to confer with the pitcher, including a pitcher leaving the mound to confer with another player, shall also constitute a mound visit, regardless of where the visit occurs or the length of the visit, except that the following shall not constitute mound visits: A. Discussions between pitchers and position player(s) that (i) occur between batters in the normal course of play and do not require either the position player(s) or the pitcher to relocate; B. Visits by position players to the mound to clean spikes in rainy conditions; C. Visits to the mound due to an injury or potential injury of the pitcher; and D. Visits to the mound after the announcement of an offensive substitution. |

So, to recap: for 150 years this hasn't been an issue, but now that Manfred is Commissioner we need to speed up the game in the hopes of getting non-baseball fans, who don't like baseball anyways, to watch baseball even though the replays drag the game to a halt.
I really wish Rob Manfred would have a debilitating stroke. Enough so that he is perfectly conscious but has no motor control at all. Bob Nutting is a gonorrhea on baseball and Rob Manfred is fucking syphilis. |
