Former freelance sports writer. Now I mostly write about beer over @nmdarksidebc. Still love baseball, hockey, soccer even with all their flaws.

Nothing reminds you that your team is in a minor league quite like @USLChampionship officiating.

[ESPN Albuquerque 101.7FM The TEAM @1017theteam]

Yikes. Penalty for Oakland. Not so sure about that one

[Chris Jackson @TopesWriter]

@1017theteam Actually kind of impressive for a midweek game before a holiday and with the World Cup game still going. Of course, that's probably tickets sold, not actual fans in the seats.

@GeoffGrammer I've developed asthma for the first time in 42 years and currently don't have a primary care. It turns out my crap insurance doesn't cover urgent care visits. I've spent more than $5000 out of pocket and counting.

It's time for the Dennis Santana era to end.

[DK Pittsburgh Sports @DKPghSports]

HOME RUN: TJ Rumfield goes deep to right off of Dennis Santana. Three straight hits here in the eighth. Three-run shot makes it a four-run game. Pirates, 8-4 -- From José Negron in Denver

[Chris Jackson @TopesWriter]

@JoshYohe_PGH One of many Pirates fans in Denver wondering what's up.

[Chris Jackson @TopesWriter]

@MattGajtka This type of suffering is only in the blood

[Chris Jackson @TopesWriter]

@JMackey_PGH Fire the entire bullpen into the sun.

[Chris Jackson @TopesWriter]

The @Pirates awful bullpen strikes again.

[Chris Jackson @TopesWriter]

@MattGajtka Dude, I'm at the game, don't jinx it

[Chris Jackson @TopesWriter]

And NMSU alum Nick Gonzales unties it!

[Pittsburgh Pirates @Pirates]

B-REY TIES IT OFF THE BENCH‼️

Hats off to Kyle Freeland on 7 shutout innings at Coors. Too bad the @Pirates just tied it up.

[Chris Jackson @TopesWriter]

First Pirates-Rockies game at Coors. Weird that it took this long.

[Chris Jackson @TopesWriter]

@ChadMoriyama I'll always remember Billy Beane losing it over how much Cal State Fullerton overused one of his draft picks in the '04 CWS. And then how little George Horton cared: "I'm paid to win, not develop pitchers."

[Chris Jackson @TopesWriter]

@ClueHeywood But they're only there because of the soccer. Sometimes the most fun around soccer is before and after the game.

[Chris Jackson @TopesWriter]

@Dejan_Kovacevic @nshoretavern @DKPghSports I'm heading up to Denver for the Rockies series. I do not expect any new relievers to be on the roster. Ugh.
