Randomness Dos
RVs are a pretty good example of my theory. They are expensive and uneconomical and time consuming. But they are also fun and a great way to make memories. I don’t own an rv and I don’t have a country club membership but those are two things that would be very rewarding but also extremely uneconomi...

You’re banned from the outdoor threadI have a general rule that there’s in an inverse relationship between “economic value” and memorable fun. Hobbies weddings kids all fun. All terrible in terms of cost/benefit.

My wife is glad to let me do all the finances, so we have a shared account. There are way too many budget items that it would create too much work to split the bills.
Our rule is if it’s under $100, no need to ask. And obviously don’t go spending $99 every day of the week on random crap.

What a defeated fan base the Pirates have... Shouldn’t be surprised by this. Not sure how anybody has any optimism beyond individual performances. This is beyond a string of bad GMs, it’s rotten to the core. I probably started losing all optimism early 2000s. That’s still 10 years of buying into th...

Hard for me to get excited about Skenes. It’s lipstick on a pig. Not even sure who’s to blame for the offense. I guess it all boils down to cherington no matter the issue: drafting, developing, hitting strategy, coaches…all on the GM. But you’d also have to say he’s done pretty well with the pitchin...

Both of my boys are going to try out for the higher travel soccer league. My oldest has a chance but he continually gets passed over by players already in the higher leagues. I’m having him try goalie this time. He’s pretty good at it so hopefully they take him but also let him play in the field You...

Can we name more than 5 legit hitters that have been drafted/internationally signed by the Pirates and had respectable, All-Star careers since 1993? McCutchen Walker Marte Kendall Aramis Ramirez?

What's slightly concerning is how bad the minor league teams are. Indy is around .500, but Altoona has lost 14 in a row or something. Bradenton not much better. I know they aren't supposed to win per se, but develop players...but the Pirates farm system is supposed to be pretty well stocked. Or so ...

1-1 in the top of the 6th. Walks first batter. Taken out after 61 pitches. Bullpen gives up 4. Pirates lose 5-1.
This will be nothing like Strasburg striking out 15 Pirates or whatever the number was in his debut.

Just got another update from the SD confirming that nobody was stabbed. One kid still required medical attention, which is bad enough. So this is just more proof that social media is a pariah, as those stabbing rumors spread real quick locally. Just stay off social media. These same fights/rumors h...

The core of the team has been playing together - spring, fall, and winter - for 2-4 years. It’d just suck to see some of the girls not on the team. There’s a catch 22 with this as well. My son is I’d say an above average soccer player. Every year he tries out for the advanced travel team and doesn’...
