Per some dude from the Score:

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 27, 2015 -> 09:20 PM) Schilling back for postseason Good, his insight and candor were missed. Hopefully a few sharply hit foul balls make it into their awful booth and bounce around.

Hope Danks does well. There is a litany of names on this roster that are a bigger reason this year is the way it is than JD.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 12:55 PM) Basically the Pirates need to not be swept in this series. If they win 1/3, the Cubs have an almost impossible task of catching them for home field in the WC game and the Pirates are 50-25 at home on the year. Cublets 6-4 at PNC- looks like they have 1 more to make up over there from 8/3.

Pat Hughes calling this game as if he expects a no-hitter. It's the top of the second.

Pirates have won 6 in a row coming in to today, so accordingly, they will lose and the Cubs will clinch against them.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 09:48 AM) Kane will not be charged, book it. I wouldn't be surprised if the only settlement she sees at this point is like $11 and a lawsuit suing her back for those $11.

lol

Some pretty encouraging pitching by Sale lately.

Wow. 22 years old, too.

I hate the NFL.

I'd much rather see Thompson get them, because I want to believe the organization is capable of developing something offensively other than a turd, but don't you kind of have to endure Garcia if he's still around?

QUOTE (bighurt574 @ Sep 21, 2015 -> 03:32 PM) Certainly possible, but it took him this long to figure it out? Not just Samardzija, the evidently adored Bryan Johnson. October is a few days away- should have just worried about it over the offseason at this point...

Fine time for Shamajaananjala to throw a one-hitter. Definitely couldn't have used this at any point earlier in the season.

Ideal start time for a compelling ballgame.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 19, 2015 -> 08:15 PM) The Aikman commercial The karaoke one was fine until someone issued a mandate to tv that it needs to run multiple times during every commercial break. At this point, Kansas probably hates their song.

Surprised to see the Indians only 3 out of a WC spot. There have been numerous opportunities this month alone that if they had taken advantage of, would put the Sox well within reach of a Wild Card spot, despite the damndest effort of just about the entire roster to get 2015 the hell over with. f*** this team. 2007 was a more memorable team than this group of bums. I hope they all have a s***ty offseason.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 10:55 AM) Looks like Kang just got seriously injured (knee) on a hard, very high slide by Coghlan. He's probably their 2nd or 3rd best hitter. Have a feeling Coghlan is getting one in the back in his next AB. Yeah, that looked pretty awful. Should take care of Kang for the immediate future...

I know this isn't hockey (or the Bears), but there has to be something more to McCutchen "resting" today.

Nolin (1-1, 3.09 ERA) v. Quintana (9-10, 3.53 ERA) tickets still available if you want to see this in person

Cody Martin (2-4, 6.57 ERA) v. Erik Johnson (1-0, 3.27 ERA) Hopefully the offense shows some class and respect for their teammate and friend and doesn't outright sabotage Johnson's start with their "run support" like they did to Jeff Shamabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzjarjah yesterday.

Adam LaRoche has had a more dominant season on the mound.

How could he be so f***ing terrible?

Weird that this is only the first double header for Pittsburgh this season. Prior to today, last one was early May of 2014.
