I have a bad habit of just not making it to the gym after work or later in the evenings. Decided to start going at 5am before work a few times a week. Today was day one after a 10 day vacation, yuck, really wanted to curl up in the corner and take a nap but I made it. I prefer going to the gym in t...

If they're already trying to recoup some of SRod's salary what the hell does that mean for payroll next season? brings back the original SRod shenanigans when they tried to move JHay because they didn't want to pay both SRod and JHay. Kenny the kangaroo recalls that @beerman was also agitated that ...

That's ridiculous. So you're saying, independent of what the Pirates were to have done in 2016 and 2017, fans would have stayed home because the FO didn't make enough personnel moves. So they could have 80-30 like the Dodgers but people would be refusing to go because they didn't sign J. Happ. Oh c...

What a fun and weird game. I was kinda hoping to see the perfect game, would've been all in on it if there hadn't been so many dodger fans there including the grown man with a glove behind me.

Jordy isn't great but he's nowhere near the top of the list of problems this team has I agree with your point in general but the issue is you can say this about way too many people on the current team. They have a bunch of guys who are perfectly adequate. You can make an argument for just about any...

What's the point of being a baseball STH when the stadium is 50% full at best for a given game? Serious question. The discount would have to be like 25% of the public price for it to make sense to me. From my personal standpoint it's a couple things. I got great seats by going with the plan I did, ...

Left at the beginning of the rain delay, solid choice.

Pirates just sent an email out yesterday to STH saying postseason ticket options and 2018 renewals are on the way soon! Well timed guys.

I want to be optimistic, I just don't trust Hurdle to only use him off the bench with the occasional start. Also, if the rumors were true and the Pirates wanted to trade JHay prior to the season and sign SeanRod to start at 2B, I'd bet they still feel he can start somewhere for this team. If I had ...

So Freese/Rodriguez occupy 3b and one bench spot. Backup catcher, Frazier, Osuna and ? Looks like another year without a real SS backup. They'll really need to beef up the back end of the rotation and bullpen to compete. I think that's a good enough bench to give a spot to Gift I'm fine if he gets ...

Well, if we want to be optimistic, we can assume that Rodriguez will be occupying the role that Jaso was intended to play (OF/INF), but actually be able to do that defensively. They love defensive versatility, so hopefully Rodriguez will backup 3B and SS, but also play some OF so they can keep Osun...

Big fan of Matsuyama, always one of the guys I root for.

Was planning on taking him in the PGA Champ pool this week but the win might get too many people on his bandwagon.

I still don't like Sean Rodriguez.

I'm also terrified their solution to 3b for 2018 will be SeanRod/Freese.

I don't think it's as much of an example of the Pirates cheapness (I'm not dismissing that this exists), as it is of how shady and crappy the system is for latino kids.

They need to reorganize the 25 man for next year. For 2018 it has to be something like this: C: Cervelli, Diaz 1B: Bell, Freese 2B: Harrison, Frazier SS: Mercer, FA (real backup SS) 3B: FA/Kang, Freese RF: Polanco CF: McCutchen LF: Marte OF: FA, Frazier Moustakas and Todd Frazier are going to be FA...

I have higher bounces on my sand and lob wedges, because I tend to get steep. My gap wedge is a little bit of a smaller one. I was fit for all of them which really made a world of difference.

I used to drink a ton of pop but I quit about 6-7 years ago now. I never had any desire to try and move to diet and I think the "zero" calorie options are a crock. I may drink the equivalent of about 12oz a year and usually find it disgusting. There are times it sounds so good but 99.9% of the time ...

Regarding the 62, Johnny Miller could barely keep his bitterness contained today. He made several comments about how easy the course was, how today's equipment makes it seem so much shorter, etc. His fellow commentators even called him out on it. Johnny was kind of in a no-win spot with that, by th...

So I mentioned it a while back but my schedule is firming up a little bit now. Heading to Chicago in 3 weeks. I stand to have the better part of an afternoon free as well as one other night to do dinner, and a morning to do breakfast. I am staying near Millennium Park. Looking at trip advisor, I'd ...

Try and get a walk a day in but it's really difficult in the summer when it's warm. Anything much above 70 and my dog gets really warm and doesn't like to be out moving around. Those days we usually just play ball inside, throw the ball down the hall and let him run around to get some sort of exerci...

Loved that shot from Spieth, the reaction from he and Greller and the crowd was awesome.

Also, loved it because Berger seems like a jag so I really didn't want him to win.

So I found a DFH Burton Baton in my basement... I believe it is about 2 years old... think it is still ok to drink? Yeah for sure, I've done the DFH tour on a couple of occasions and they actually age a lot of the beers they make. They said they'll hold a case or two back randomly and they throw it...

That was definitely my first reaction when the Fox/USGA deal was announced. They aren't that bad though. Joe Buck is less obnoxious than Jim Nantz. Azinger and Strange actually have some personality unlike Faldo. And Fox uses technology to improve the broadcast, CBS is stuck in 2000. CBS will probab...

I like the idea of him sticking around.

Me too, I think NH has done way more good than bad here.

I'd prefer a different manager though. Hurdle does plenty good in the motivational, rah-rah department but I think he cancels it all out with weird line-up and in-game decisions.
