The GOP tact since the Obama election has been to just gin up the loonies non-stop. Loonies come in all shapes and sizes, and if the dems were lead by Bernie, then it their tact would be to constantly gin up the lefties. But, the party rallied to stay on the emotionally static side. The GOP lost the...

2024 Pirates Season Thread

The talent level is most definitely an improvement. But there’s going to be too many bumps in the road along the way. Plus, last year’s team played above their heads for two decently long periods I think Hayes, Cruz, and Reynolds are core pieces that have high production floors that will at least r...

2024 Pirates Season Thread

I'm the optimistic one? That's not a good sign.
83-79

I think the division is bad. Cardinals are old, brewers are retooling, and the reds will crumble facing expectations. Cubs will run away with first place. But pirates compete with the other teams.

Joe Lieberman, gone, and good riddance.
Had to check if either he was dead or withdrawing his name from consideration for the No Labels ticket. Thankfully, the former.

And good riddance, he was integral in ensuring that obamacare was a trash healthcare compromise.

Anyone else concerned about the Center situation? Looking around, they have to draft a C in the 1st or 2nd round, don't they? The free agents all look very meh (except Connor Williams, who tore his ACL late last year), and we've currently got, who, Herbig? on the roster. Problem with drafting one i...

That Alabama election last night was wild. Dems kind of crushed that and the Republicans are still pushing the abortion/IVF stuff. Incredibly small turnout, but the margins pretty clearly illustrate who is motivated to actually vote. But I do think special elections have always been a better harbin...

You're referring to the people who actually bother to read one article or watch one report on RFK. I'm talking about the dummies who show up to vote knowing absolutely nothing and they'll see that Kennedy name, remember all the good times of when Kennedys would get shot and then decide "welp, gotta...

Because Democrats **** love them some Kennedy.
A normal Kennedy got smoked in a senate primary in Massachusetts. I also know one rfk supporter, he’s an antivax, crypto guy, self described libertarian. That, to me, is the rfk voter.

I’m confused why people think rfk is stealing votes from Biden.

The no labels ticket, yeah, that would peel off center right soft Biden voters. But rfk is a home for the “pox on both their houses”,

I remember when a barge hit a bridge in Pittsburgh. Guessing this was just that with a massively bigger vessel. I’m amazed that they don’t have some sort of preventative control in place to stop this from happening. Especially if it’s one of these things going offline by a matter of like 50 ft causi...

Reynolds, Oliveira, Suwinski, Taylor, Joe... I don't see where he fits I think Joe gets most of his time at 1B. So then Joe and Williams are the primary bench IF guys, and Olivares is the 4th OF. I think Grandal starts on the dl, so delay is the backup catcher. Bae is also hurt. So there’s still I ...

Peguero down to AAA. I don't see them taking Cruz out for Alika to be a defensive sub late in games so kinda surprised Peguero or NG didn't make the team. Triolo won the 2B job is how I see that. Alika makes more sense as the backup infielder. Palacios and Gonzalez were also sent down. I think McKi...
