When you see your neighbor carrying something, help him with his load. And don’t go mistaking paradise for that home across the road.

If you don’t think Dave Parker belongs in the Hall of Fame, we probably don’t have much to talk about. #Davebelongs

@joeybagovdonuts Say ‘what’ again!

@TheBuccosFan @Pirates And giving up a homerun to Ke’Bryan Hayes raises all kinds of questions.

[John Florence @jarkie2016]

@TheBuccosFan @Pirates Maybe it’s unfair for me to say, but as I was watching him pitch today, he didn’t look like he was pitching with any type of conviction. He looked like he was just throwing the ball toward the plate. Not much if any power coming toward the plate.

[John Florence @jarkie2016]

@PopPopof2Cuties I’m impressed with the catch!

[John Florence @jarkie2016]

@KyRedsGal Those guys worked hard to make it happen.

[John Florence @jarkie2016]

@joeybagovdonuts No love for Sammy Khalifa?

[John Florence @jarkie2016]

@KyRedsGal In all seriousness, I don’t understand why they didn’t just load up a gator instead of making those guys sprint out with 30 lb bags of diamond dry on their shoulders across a wet infield.

@KyRedsGal Dude has Norman Greenbaum’s Spirit In The Sky as his walk up song. That is about as awesome as it gets!

[John Florence @jarkie2016]

@mlbtraderumors Why?

[John Florence @jarkie2016]

@KyRedsGal I agree. We’re here too and the field looked beyond unplayable.

[John Florence @jarkie2016]

@OfTheAllegheny Good call. Another Mitch Keller special.

@joeybagovdonuts They look like strawberries

@TheBuccosFan @Pav_StarLake That sounds like a good time!

Admission price to the National Sports Collectors Convention 40 years ago: $3.

Among the autograph guests were Willie Mays ($8 per auto) and Mickey Mantle, who stayed for four hours (he chatted too much so his signing time was extended by an hour) and signed 1,000 autographs.

@TheBuccosFan Whenever I hear prognostications about the 2027 season, I hear myself thinking it’s extremely optimistic that there will be a 2027 season. Don’t get me wrong, I hope beyond hope that there will be but as of right now it doesn’t look good at all.
