@SteeloCity putting Tony Womack in for Omar but same basic principle, otherwise no notes

This one could set a new standard for the Pirates usual signing of someone who hits .179 over 240 at bats and is never seen in MLB again

[MLB Network @MLBNetwork]

Tommy Pham and the Pirates are reportedly in agreement on a one-year deal.

The frontman of Yuck lost a Golden Globe to Trent Reznor last night.

What’s “wrong” with the NBA? How about Russell Westbrook becoming a poster child for “bad” basketball? All he does is go all out always, rack up triple doubles, try to dunk on everyone, not only launch 3s… yet all the NBA intelligentsia decided he was prohibitively “inefficient”

What's going to happen when Man City's trial punishment is a one year banishment to the Championship if they are already going to be relegated? 🤔

[Sonny Rollins @sonnyrollins]

"My particular idols, Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young, were both in that picture... I’m put in that great group of people," Rollins said incredulously. "It’s really too much to realize." S.R. speaks to the NY Times about Art Kane's iconic 1958 photo: https://t.co/tgfIR65KuG

Thank god.

The Cobra is heading to the Hall of Fame! 👏

Dave Parker has been voted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Every NFL team seriously needs to hire a guy whose one and only job is to have a direct line to the coach’s headset and say “whatever you do, you cannot call a timeout right now (you absolute moron)”

RIP to Will Cullen Hart. Seeing Olivia Tremor Control live in the late-'90s was definitely to be in the presence of one of the best bands in the world. https://t.co/w05eSwAeOp

Announcer just said this about Bournemouth. A fate certainly worse than relegation.

[David Malitz @malitzd]

Watched 27 episodes of FROM over the last few weeks so I'm all caught up. I appreciate that for all the shows of the last 15 years that were like "LOST meets [something]" they finally said screw it and just did LOST again but with a fraction of the budget.

[David Malitz @malitzd]

Forgot one of the best parts: F'in David Kilgour was the opener!! (I will admit I did have anything close to full appreciation of this at the time.)

[David Malitz @malitzd]

Saw my first Pavement show 30 years ago today. First club show, too. Not a bad way to start

[David Malitz @malitzd]

Pavement played “Easily Fooled” tonight kinda think Bill Clinton was president last time that happened

[David Malitz @malitzd]

New worst Game Day Experience of my lifetime just dropped

[David Malitz @malitzd]

Not everything needs to be a zero sum game and it’s easy to celebrate the excellence of many.

That said, if Paul Skenes - a top 3 (at least) pitcher in all MLB - loses Rookie of the Year to “Jackson Merrill” of the “San Diego Padres” then just abolish the award.

[David Malitz @malitzd]

Amazing Pulp show tonight how can one band have so many perfect songs about awkwardly trying to cop a feel

[David Malitz @malitzd]

Great, now the way every Pirates fan clenches up if Cruz has to slide into home plate, we get to do that every single time he chases down a fly ball.

[Andrew Destin @AndrewDestin1]

Manager Derek Shelton said Oneil Cruz will move from SS to CF for the foreseeable future

Cruz will DH at first. Shelton said Cruz’s season-ending injury LY played into this decision, among other factors
