@NBACobwebs Celtics were flying commercial???

[M.Zig @ZigMZ]

@hoptastic12 @jonnyrmitch Cannot be overrated. And I’m not even a big fan

[M.Zig @ZigMZ]

@GMBCSuperfan @burghbulletin Agree. That being said I’d have him in the lineup against a rightie tonight. Arrighetti is tough gonna have to score some runs. He might give you a bomb

[M.Zig @ZigMZ]

@pghfan1967 I’ve been trying to get “Passy” to stick forever

[M.Zig @ZigMZ]

@JulienceUK 100% truth.

[M.Zig @ZigMZ]

Fair points, all of em.

[Bob Smizik @BobSmizik]

#Pirates thoughts:
* Endy should absolutely get bulk of catching time until he proves otherwise.
* Dotel performance has opened door for Mlod return to rotation if Chandler continues to falter
* At 1/3 point in season team has shown itself to be nothing less than legit contender.

[M.Zig @ZigMZ]

Oh yeah it is.

[Pittsburgh Pirates @Pirates]

Good morning! You know what day it is! 💪

[M.Zig @ZigMZ]

@AileenBowers20 @DaveKerner Been awhile for sure.

[M.Zig @ZigMZ]

@AileenBowers20 @DaveKerner Well done…two hitters in the NL Top 10 in HR and RBI. When was the last time we could say that?

[The Rolling Stones @RollingStones]

Thinking of you on your birthday Charlie, you are so missed 💛

[M.Zig @ZigMZ]

@officialKeef Me too

[M.Zig @ZigMZ]

@Steigerworld2 Agree 100%

[M.Zig @ZigMZ]

@JamesLarson47 And really my point is… if owners are gonna say their proposal is “all about the fans,” then maybe if they really meant that, they could show that same concern in other areas. All I’m saying.

[M.Zig @ZigMZ]

Trust me I’m in favor of the cap, floor, rev share. Anything to restore competitive balance. But if owners really want to help fans, make ballpark concession pricing more affordable. Or at least require every team to provide a “value menu” like some clubs already do.

[Bob Nightengale @BNightengale]

MLB wastes no time responding to union chief Bruce Meyer:
‘Our salary cap and floor proposal addresses our fans’ concerns by leveling the playing field while sharing baseball revenue with the players 50/50 like the other leagues. Under our proposal, Major League players will receive more compensation in year one of the system than in 2026. We are ready to listen if the MLBPA wants to counter our proposal at the bargaining table.”

[M.Zig @ZigMZ]

@JamesLarson47 First off, I rarely eat at the ballpark. I go to 30 games a year and always try to eat at home first. But a few cheaper concession items wouldn’t kill them. How about parents leaving work to get to a game w no time to eat? Would $2 hot dogs, popcorn and nachos be such a big deal?

@Lewisgem1150 You’ll be looking up at us by the end of this month.

[M.Zig @ZigMZ]

Give it till the end of June, the Reds are gonna show their ass. That offense is lousy and they don’t have the pitching to back it up. Well below .500 by June 30.

[M.Zig @ZigMZ]

@dvesean One of my favorite shows of all stones shows I’ve seen. That all day rain….then the skies cleared for the Stones.

[M.Zig @ZigMZ]

@BobSmizik Agree. But of course he had to take the requisite shot at Mackey.

[Pittsburgh Pirates @Pirates]

We have traded RHP Justin Lawrence to Minnesota for cash considerations.
