Zeise is an amazing combination of terrible radio voice, incoherent arguments, and uninteresting takes

Crowley's first show was supposed to be filling in for Zeise? Management there is idiots because you send Zeise packing ASAP and replace him with Crowley. People will get too comfortable and realize how much better he is than Zeise when Crowley fills in for him.

I know he had a baby recently, maybe this schedule works better for his family but seems like to fill in when others has off to be too inconsistent when you have a small family. I know I hated that when I my kids were small and hell, I still do. So, what its him, Shelby, Pomp, and Paul Alexander on the weekends? I never listen so I might be wrong. Also, how does Alexander still have a show and not Tab Douglas? Idiots
I heard Dorin last weekend and I think Josh Taylor is still around. Tab tweeted a week or so ago that he wasn’t invited back and assumes he’s now retired.

DK was the first person to crying to the mayor, and having the mayor respond about doing something to force the Pirates to act. DK can change his story as many times as he wants about it being about management, etc. But that dude did a 180 hard, and now is even more insufferable about the Pirates. He's another gatekeeper/shill for an absolute **** team, and I won't understand why, outside of him being paid by Nutting.
Yeah, this is a big reason why people reply to his baseball tweets the way they do. Plus he acts like a ***hole about all of it and people won't stop. He went hard on seemingly the fans side and then when he did the heel turn, the fans reacted. The only way it might stop is if the Pirates get a new owner and somehow turn into perennial winners.

Well, it appears that Dave Molinari left DK for Pittburgh Hockey Now or whatever that site is. DK and Taylor Haase found out about him leaving via Twitter (or at least Taylor did). Kind of shitty to do that right before the playoffs start, but whatever.

Let's assume DK will let this pass without airing any dirty laundry and making this a bigger deal than it should be

Yikes. DK is a baby and by the looks of it, hard to work for. But this is a crappy move. At least be up front.

DK can't work with any vet writers, seems to be anyone of talent has an expiration date. Does he have any senior writer's left? Lolley(sp)?

For all we know, Molinari could've left because DK forced him out for DK reasons, and now DK is trying to play the victim card.

I would say that's most likely the case given how DK has and does act when things like this go down. No vet writer leaving really should be a surprise. He seems to do better with younger writers he can pay cheaply and drive into the ground. Which is an OK model, if everyone is on the same page.

Digging around in the comments on DK's site, it looks like Molinari was supposed to cover practice this morning for DK and quit two hours before it started. DK wished him well, too. Weird.

Are you suggesting that a Pgh sports source not cover the Pirates? I know it's ugly but plenty of people still follow the team and want news and analysis regarding the team.

Not really at all. I'm saying - you have a team in the Playoffs, versus a team that's going nowhere. Send your best talent to the playoff team and and skimp on the Pirates in a pinch if you need to.

Instead, they hired a blogger and threw him to the fire lol.

I don't know if it's that easy though. I mean there are relationships developed to get the "scoop", etc.

For a few weeks while the Penguins maybe play their last series together as the core? We're talking about week 3 or 4 of the Pirates over the playoffs. I'm not saying full-time. I'm saying just for the playoffs.

If we're saying the Pirates are more important than that, well then, this city really is doomed.

That being said, it doesn't matter. I don't have an account on that website lol. Just funny that he can't deal with senior writers apparently.

The undercurrent is that Molinari felt he was being sidelined for a younger writer. He hadn't as many bylines and wasn't scheduled to cover the two games in NYC. So he took his IBM Selectric and went elsewhere.

I don't blame him then. His replacement must be cheaper and that pissed him off.

If I'm reading some of the comments right in the Danny Shirey welcome post on DK's site (apparently DK deleted comments from this post too smh), I guess Taylor was picked over Dave to go to New York? I'd be pissed too if I was Dave. No reason all three of them can't go, its a short trip. Not out to the West Coast. Maybe if they didn't open up that Downtown HQ/shop (what else will they sell there besides Pittsburgh sports crap that you can't somewhere else cheaper..like what was the point of opening that place?) they could afford to send Dave too.

He's a HOF writer who could work anywhere and not be treated like a high school journalism student. Surprised if he doesn't retire after this year like Bouchette.

The Rangers "recommended sending only two writers" per outlet, as the press box has limited space. <shrugs>

Taylor is the cheaper writer, I'd bet. Also deleting comments is lol worthy.
