AJ Burnett walked to the Phillies and so did Marlon Byrd...gotta give a shout out out to the yanks for paying for AJ.

No longer the diehard I was as a youngin. Got tired of the front office pacifying the fanbase with fireworks and bobbleheads night and not doing enough to put a winning product on the field. Got back to trying to follow them the past couple years though, was happy for them and the city when they finally broke the drought. Hoping they can further build on what they accomplished last season.

@Domingo Halliburton what's your PSL?

 

[Captain Crunch]

Pittsburgh should just up and sign Kendrys Morales to play 1B, I'm sure you can get him for 2 years/20 million, probably less. Anxious to see what Polanco does and if Cole continues off his rookie season. Considering visiting Pitt, to catch a game this summer.

Besides that sandwich place, what are some other unique places to eat at in Pittsburgh? Any notable black eateries?

 

[Captain Crunch]

The GOAT Barry Bonds will be at PNC today

 

[King Theo]

its time brehs

i cant wait i have a really good feeling this season. im curious to see if cutch has gotten even better and i cant wait to see the outfield of marte cutch and polanco.

the same goes for marte who from what was reported had an amazing time during winter ball. if he makes the leap it will be amazing times at PNC park brehs

 

[3Rivers]

Good way to start the season

@Domingo Halliburton what's your PSL?

I dont have one. Do you?

 

[Domingo Halliburton]

guess we're just hoping the pitching is amazing again this year. 2-1 over the cubs now in the eigth.

these new replay rules kind of suck. Takes up way too much time.

 

[Jeffrey Lebowski]

That Marte instant replay call there was bullshyt and took waaaaaay too much time. At least in previous years when the umps fukked the calls up we didn't have to wait around for them to do it.

Hopefully Grilled Cheez makes it a moot point

 

[Domingo Halliburton]

we need a first baseman and right fielder as well

Ishikawa has been...surprisingly ok these first two games. Not expecting it to last, but between him, lambo, and sanchez they should be able to salvage something at 1st until they acquire someone who can play everyday.

Polanco is looking like the real deal in RF...hopefully they bring him up by May at the latest.
