Stupid count: baseball stat that measures how many times Don Kelly yanks a starter unnecessarily that leads to a loss. #pirates #baseball #mlb

[Joe Strupek @Strupey]

Forget #cyclospora. Nothing will give you intestinal problems worse than the @Pirates putting Ramirez or Soto in a game. #pirates #mlb

@greenfield64 Every writer has a process.

Smokefall begins a three week run tonight @HeartlandTheatr . It's a funny, moving, and thought provoking story. Tickets are available at https://t.co/DxTdtVaFLN. You might see a familiar face.

@waydean @TheCinesthetic One of my favorite movies. I watch it begging to end at least twice a year.

[Joe Strupek @Strupey]

Why do we have to watch @dallascowboys two times in 3 weeks on @NFL_MNF? #MondayNightFootball

[Joe Strupek @Strupey]

@dobergirl I’m done. I barely tolerated it in season 1. It’s cartoonish, unnecessary and detracts from the whole show. Tonight was the last straw.

[Joe Strupek @Strupey]

Does anyone else think that if the entire country stayed off social media for a week we could reset everything?

[Joe Strupek @Strupey]

AOL cancelled dial up. Maybe baseball should cancel @Pirates. They’re never coming back either.

[Joe Strupek @Strupey]

AOL still offered dial up internet? Does it still come pre loaded on a Gateway computer?

[Robert Graham @robertgraham]

OMG, AOL is going to stop offering dial-up Internet access on September 30, 2025.

[Joe Strupek @Strupey]

Yeah. This.

I have a guest column in today's @bozchron about @RahmEmanuel fishing for a potential run at the presidency using the @OrvisFlyFishing and @AprilVokey podcasts as bait. #rahmemanuel #Democrats @DNC

Late night TV has become politicized. They drove off half their audience. What was wrong with light viewing before bedtime. #Colbert

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

CBS claims that its decision to cancel Stephen Colbert’s show is “financial,” but “the network that once made Cronkite the most trusted man in America no longer gets the benefit of the doubt,” @GrahamDavidA argues: https://t.co/WiiPiN3Js0

I’ve been watching the @Pirates since 1971. I grew up in Pittsburgh. But I’ve had enough. #pirates

[Joe Strupek @Strupey]

@BuccoBallBlog I can’t imagine what it’s like going to work everyday having to call a Pirates game. What broadcaster with a love of the game and their own career aspirations would want that job?

[Joe Strupek @Strupey]

After season 3 of #hacks on @hbomax I hoped there’d be a break from the anger. Nah. Season 4 is just brutal. A comedy that’s now just dark, depressing and droll. I can watch the nightly news for that.

[Joe Strupek @Strupey]

@ChrisCillizza And LBJ?

[Joe Strupek @Strupey]

@ChrisCillizza Where’s Nixon?

[Joe Strupek @Strupey]

Legends. RIP #WinkMartindale
