10 years ago: The greatest game ever played at PNC Park. I remember watching most of this game (Burnett HR, Sean Rod epic catch) at a bar with @JustinLaBar but heard the end on the radio in the car with my dad. A moment I’ll never forget. I miss these Pirates. @TheCUTCH22 = HERO.

Now is as good a time as any to remind everyone that the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City (@NLBMuseumKC) exists to tell a deeply important American story -- one that is ultimately about triumph. Our history, good and bad, is all we have. Learning it is our duty.

Since the story on the @DeptofDefense's website on Jackie Robinson has been deleted, here are the details of his service in the United States military.

In 1942, Robinson was drafted and reported to Fort Riley, Kansas. By early 1943, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant before joining the 761st tank battalion, also known as the Black Panthers.

A year later, after Robinson boarded an Army bus, the driver asked him to retreat to the back. Robinson refused -- more than a decade before Rosa Parks. Robinson was court martialed and later acquitted.

He spent the rest of his military service at Camp Breckinridge, where he coached Army athletics teams. Robinson was honorably discharged in November 1944.

One guy has never reached a Super Bowl, let alone win one. One guy has never led the NFL in passing yards or passing touchdowns. One guy has never been a first-team All-Pro, let alone a league AP MVP. One guy is 5-5 in the playoffs, and he has never had a game-winning drive in

The Oakland A’s were killed by greed. Do not allow the people responsible for this to spin it any other way. John Fisher did not have to move this team. Major League Baseball and its owners did not need to be complicit in it. This was a choice. A wrong one. History will sneer.

[Bleacher Nation @BleacherNation]

Today, with just six games left, the Pirates DFA'd Rowdy Tellez, who has been an above-average hitter by wRC+ over the past month.

Coincidentally, Tellez's contract reportedly entitled him to a $200,000 bonus at 425 plate appearances.

His time with the Pirates ends at 421.

Thankfully the Broncos stopped the bleeding and didn’t do something insane like waste the 12th pick on QB6

[Bill Barnwell @billbarnwell]

So, I've been thinking a lot about that viral Patrick Mahomes interceptions overturned by penalty statistic from the weekend. It felt like a bad-faith use of data. I went and took a closer look to see if that was true. 🧵

Interceptions nullified by penalties since 2018. Pat does lead the league! Fully half those are offsides, where he forces throws because he sees the flag. NFL's Golden Boy indeed!

Also, here's every TD nullified by penalty since 2018. Damn, NFL! Cut your Golden Boy some slack!

Paul Skenes tallies 8 punchouts in 7 frames 🥊

The @Pirates rookie is the first pitcher with seven or more strikeouts in at least nine of his first 10 career appearances (since at least 1901).
