DK is long term trending towards John Steigerwald.

If anyone is going to give us unbiased bucco reporting it's DK or Madden

To be fair, it's a garbage baseball team. DK can't even find someone that wants to endure the grind of suck for an entire year.

Pirates revealed their 2018 promotional schedule. June 23rd is the commemorative SRod walk off homerun bobble head night. A meaningless moment from a **** player in the middle of a **** season. This **** franchise man.

Gift Ngoepe was traded to the Jays for future considerations.

Goodbye gift. 26 strikeouts in 63 major league at bats (that is 41% for those keeping score at home).

How awkward is that Cutch Starting Lineup figure gonna be when he's playing for another team by July?

Two FanJams? So we can pencil in The Clarks, Chicago, or Steve Miller in for the first one. Any guesses on the second?

S Rod Mania when he returned this year was both unsurprising and baffling. Having a bobblehead for that nothing moment is pathetic.

Hmmm...I like Steve Miller, how's his voice these days?

Maybe Live can come back to play Pain Lies By The Riverside

Postby **willeyeam** » Tue Nov 21, 2017 10:02 pm

I can't think of the band but I saw a band at skyblast night circa 2007ish that got booed off the stage

We saw GnR in Hershey and Live was the opening act. That was an unexpected nostalgia trip

They should have had POD come and play here comes the BOOM on repeat to a montage of mike Gonzalez exploding pitches

Any chance your battling Buccos can make a play for Otani?

The OAR Skyblast may have been the worst. The singer literally had no voice but tried to fight thru it. After the first song was reaching about the 10 minute mark of just instrumentals, we were wondering wtf was going on then they just decided to play the saxophone the rest of the time because I guess no one else could sing or knew the words. We went to the bar.

Postby **iamjs** » Wed Nov 22, 2017 2:25 pm

isn't that almost every OAR song?

@shad, not really sure. The last Skyblast that I attended was either the first year that I moved here or the first year that I had my apartment, so like 2011-12.

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes just played Pittsburgh last year and sold out in an hour. The Pirates should be so lucky if the Gimmes would accept another invite.
