#Pirates on Sunday: “Fire everyone!” Pirates today: “Just a bat or two away!”
I knew it. The #Pirates win two games in a row, and suddenly we start hearing how the team is only a bat or two away.
Biggest underdogs to win a tournament: 3. #6 Pittsburgh Steelers, 2005 2. #6 Green Bay Packers, 2010 (actually not really underdogs) 1. #7 Witch Watch, 2025, beating out 15 other shows for the title of show of the spring season.
Remember when firing Andy Haines was supposed to fix the #Pirates?
Flying an airplane over PNC Park with barely legible letters is not going to do a single thing toward getting a change in ownership of the #Pirates. #histeamnotyours
Showing up at a #Pirates game and booing one play where a player didn’t give full effort, is not going to move the needle even the slightest bit toward getting the GM fired.
I'm surprised I haven't heard a word about the #Pirates' 100th anniversary of their second #WorldSeries team. You'd think that something great like that would be something to celebrate rather than completely forget in exchange for bobbleheads.
Bob Nutting is not going to "sell the team." The airplanes and chants are meaningless. All that's left to hope for is a salary cap/floor. That's the only way the #Pirates will be competitive again.
The way this #DragonBallDaima episode is going, Goku is going to be squeezing Panzy at the #Coldplay concert.
I keep hearing how #Tiger played exciting golf while #Scottie's is boring. Not true at all. Tiger played the most boring golf ever. Save par, save par, save par, birdie all the par-5s. And he'd win by a ton. That's greatness. #TheOpen
🟡 YINZERPALOOZA GIVEAWAY 🟡 We're going to give a David Bednar Autographed Baseball to someone who reposts this post! We'll announce a winner on Monday!
Golf major season shouldn't end in July. Bring back the #PGA to August!
The media loves the term "all-in," yet it makes no sense. If a team goes "all-in" and they don't win it all, then by poker standards they should be a last-place team the next season. So many "all-in" teams end up right back in contention the next season.
Why does #NBC's theme for #TheOpen sound like something you'd hear at a funeral home?
The late Dave Parker will be inducted into the Hall of Fame in 10 days. Reply and repost for a chance to win this awesome autographed @Topps card.
Dave Parker made two UNBELIEVABLE throws and won MVP at the 1979 All-Star Game 💪
There's that man again. Scottie Scheffler is in serious contention at a major. What else is new?
Never would I have thought that #WitchWatch would have turned out to be the show of the season, but here we are.
It's All-Star Day! ⭐️ REPOST for your chance to win this autographed jersey by Paul Skenes. Presented by @sheetz
The story of #baseball cannot be told without Pittsburgh… but it also cannot be told without Oakland, and look what happened there.
