Ive lost it for most part, but can credibly drop back into an exaggerated version as needed

Collapsing/swallowing l’s and especially double ll’s — to the point where it’s a semi-W sound in extreme cases — is a linguistic characteristic I’ve noticed in western Pa. Ellen can become “eh-win” alley becomes “in the back ahwee”

This specific thing imo seems much more city proper and immediate neighboring townships and boroughs (like Sharpsburg and Etna) compared to the much more twangy stuff you get when you reach the second and third suburban rings

Makes sense since PDJ is the king of Sharpsburg

Sub-LBL level joke

How rude

Not sure what ring Westmoreland county is in, probably doesn't pass the slappy test regardless. But our A's go long and there is no way in hell you would get a W in alley...

Bob Grove was famous for this - every time we played the Ahhw-inders. Drove me nuts.

You guys don’t have alleys, duh

How do you think the honeywagon got to the aht-haas? Every generation we've had since coming over has lived in the same coal patch.

Is Mackey on the Pirates beat for good, or just for summer?

Postby **DigitalGypsy66** » Fri May 31, 2019 2:12 pm

He is on it for good. Bill Brink has moved to another beat at the PG.

Postby **Morkle** » Fri May 31, 2019 2:44 pm

So Mackey will be gone relatively soon, I'd imagine.

Dave Molinari is the new Pens beat writer at DK Pittsburgh Sports. Always thought it odd that a Hall of Fame writer in hockey got moved to the PSU beat.

Postby **Freddy Rumsen** » Mon Jun 03, 2019 6:59 am

He is a fun follow on Twitter.

Wow. Nice pick up for DK.

I'll have to start following Molinari again. When he went on PSU beat had to unfollow.

I'm sure he's a great writer but his Twitter account is insufferable.

Dude tries way too hard to be funny,to the point where he isn't.

Postby **pens9192** » Mon Jun 03, 2019 11:43 am

I guess this has been in the works for awhile when Bradford got kicked off. I was doubting they would role with Taylor on he beat.

lol @ the PG. in a span of two months they lose Bouchette and Molinari to internet sites. I thought those two would hang on at the PG until retirement. Wonder what Rom Cook will do.

Yeah Molinari tries way to hard too be funny with every. single. tweet. Just mention the gdamn SOG through the 1st period without trying to be George Carlin.

Still not enough to get me to re-up DK's site.

Seeing "pittsburgh dad jr." in the URL link just tickled me

Postby **pens9192** » Tue Jun 04, 2019 12:20 pm

So Pittsburgh Dad Jr. today said “I have no doubt Jimmy Garoppolo would’ve been a Hall of Famer if he stayed in New England. “

Wow..based on what, exactly?

Postby **willeyeam** » Tue Jun 04, 2019 1:31 pm

Not a bad take. Absolutely no doubt is pushing it a little though
