@Boneyardsafari Am I ready to solo yet?

[Kurt Pankopf @KMPankopf]

@CALLAS_33 Don't get down. Builds character. And no matter how bad you played tody, there will be worse days ahead. Enjoy the walk.

[Kurt Pankopf @KMPankopf]

@_adamcrowley I'm usually not on the bash the manager train (Or the GM as shadow manager), but Ozuna in the line up tonight is managerial malpractice. Don't care if he's hitting .400 against lefties - there are others who are begging to have break out games on the bench.

[Kurt Pankopf @KMPankopf]

@DTonPirates Montgomery is in. what could possibly go wrong?

[Kurt Pankopf @KMPankopf]

@CALLAS_33 Callas - You're trying to get the Bucs to 100%. I agree with @garymo2007 - Just get them to 80% and I'm good. Through 7 innings, there are usualy enough runs to win a game. After that, no matter who's at bat - it isn't enough to overcome this bullpen.

[Kurt Pankopf @KMPankopf]

I'm bordering on ancient.

[Kurt Pankopf @KMPankopf]

You say that like it is a bad thing. I think we'll never be known or marketed as the "Boulevard Bullies". I'll take it for a series.

“The Penguins have been the dirtier team.”

[Kurt Pankopf @KMPankopf]

works on so many levels.

[Star Wars Culture @SWCultureLive]

You better find another seat.

[Kurt Pankopf @KMPankopf]

Why is #24 Ozuna even in? its bad enough for him to make one out at every plate appearance, but with no outs and two on - he makes two outs? OK - he moved a runner, but that is a real stretch.

[Kurt Pankopf @KMPankopf]

I wonder.... You can argue that one bad call per game won't have a measurable effect on the outcome. But when you have multiple bad calls? How many games would have changed? Time to go full tech.

I never thought I’d see the day where umpires were sort of held accountable

[Kurt Pankopf @KMPankopf]

@KDPomp It is clear we have the technology to make the pitch calls. But why are we doing this in a half-a$$ed way? Either take the human element out of this completely - or get the calls consistent. (Can we get this tech for goalie interference?)

[Kurt Pankopf @KMPankopf]

Can a Panther use a musket? I haveven't seen that (yet), even on the internet.

[Nicholas Callas @CALLAS_33]

Could a panther take down a mountaineer with a musket?

FWIW: To the NBC Crew, Nothing will ever replace the emotion of the Miracle on Ice. Different time. Amatuers vs Pros. Cold War. This is so different. It may come to rooting for some Bruins and against Crosby. That will be interesting.

[Kurt Pankopf @KMPankopf]

This explains a lot of the nighttime movements/noises.

[Kurt Pankopf @KMPankopf]

For the record, as a Steeler fan BB belongs in the HOF, first ballot.
With that, you can't just start creating exceptions to skirt whatever the process is. When you do this once, the second time is not far behind.
FIX THE PROCESS.

#Steelers Jim Schwartz for Steelers' DC. Haven't felt this solid about a coach hire since Mike Munchak. (Apparently facing the Brownies twice a year might be a selling point?)

[Kurt Pankopf @KMPankopf]

The good news is, this is still better than the Cleveland HC job.

[Kurt Pankopf @KMPankopf]

I'm agreeing with this thought as it makes sense. I think the locals have vastly overrated the Steelers HC job. This is not a dream job. The only positive is longivity. The cubbard is bare.

[Chris Mueller @ChrisMuellerPGH]

I've got a sneaking suspicion, given the timing of this hire, that either one or both of the Rams' candidates quietly told the Steelers they weren't interested in the job.

[Kurt Pankopf @KMPankopf]

@esh714 @HoustonTexans I thought that maybe in the playoffs the games were officiated more to the 'let the boys play' mode. But the officiating in the Broncs and Bills game OT have me thinking that officiating is just plain bad.

[Dan Orlovsky @danorlovsky7]

53 yards in penalties on an OT drive in the playoffs

That’s just bad officiating.
