Pittsburgh Pirates (5x WS Champions) Ain't Nutting happenin'

Kid’s starting the year here in Indy. Not sure I’ll brave the weather to make it this weekend but hopefully get to see him before he gets the call.
the boy and I are trying to plan a trip out that way before he gets called up. we have friends in the area, so just gas, food and tickets, seems worth it to me

OL Kirk Barton (sad)

What does the country have to do with a state statute? 15-60 years for the same crime in TN, for example. On the other hand, probably would have received next to nothing in Montana.
I take it as the general acceptance of the lack of holding people accountable that permeates our society at the highest levels.

Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

2 innings for Burns yesterday. 12 all spring. I'd love for someone in modern baseball to explain to me how pitching so few innings gets you ready to pitch a lot in the regular season (these new pitching regimens certainly haven't lessened pitcher injuries. if anything it seems like there more pitching injuries than ever)


Tom Glavine was on several Braves shows recently bemoaning the current training.
Yes, guys are throwing harder than ever and the movement is bananas.

But at what expense? Most bullpen sessions have guys hitting 92-94 miles an hour.
He said he never in 305 wins threw harder than 80% in a bullpen sesh. Dudes are working too hard.

My car is missing from that photo too. In high school I drove a Vette.












Chevette.
I had a '67 Ford Galaxy 500. We bought from some old people who couldn't drive anymore. Low mileage, cherry condition, baby blue. It was a beast. Wish I had a picture of it. It did look like an old person car though, not cool at the time.

I think one of the big blessings of being an early Gen Xer is when we were old enough to drive the country had a great inventory of what turned out to be classic cars and we got them cheap. My buddy had a Dodge Coronet, forget which year. The cars built back then were almost all V8s and they could go 100+ MPH very easily.

Cincinnati Bearcats (Basketball official thread)

Sources: Cincinnati to hire Utah State's Calhoun as coach

Cincinnati is expected to hire Utah State's Jerrod Calhoun as its next head coach, sources told ESPN on Monday.

It marks a return home for Calhoun, an Ohio native who graduated from Cincinnati in 2004 and began his coaching career as a student assistant under Hall of Famer Bob Huggins as a senior in college.

Calhoun just led Utah State to the second round of the NCAA tournament, beating Villanova before falling to Arizona on Sunday night.

Utah State officials have been notified of his departure to Cincinnati, sources told ESPN, and per his contract, the school will be owed nearly $3.9 million, which it plans to use for potential candidates and the NIL pool for next season.

In two years at Utah State, Calhoun went 55-15, leading the Aggies to back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances and a sweep of the Mountain West regular-season and conference tournament championships this season.

After two bad hires, maybe third time’s the charm.

2026 NCAA Tournament General Discussion

2014 UConn is unique. They did have the nation's #2 player that year according to Kenpom Shabazz Napier, but clearly they did it with a well-balanced team that played elite defense. Their final 3 games of the tournament that year they didn't give up more than 54 points in a game.
UConn is automatic when they advance. 6-0 in Title Games and one sole loss to MSU in the Final Four. All of this since 1999

NBA Discussion (Official Thread)

The SuperSonics are (likely) coming back: How Seattle retained name, history while waiting for NBA's return​

Seattle is one step closer to an NBA expansion franchise and a revival of the SuperSonics name

The NBA on Wednesday took another step toward returning to Seattle after a 20-year absence.

The board of governors unanimously approved a vote that will allow the league to begin accepting bids on two new franchises -- one in Seattle and one in Las Vegas -- with the expected price for the new teams expected to be between $7 billion and $10 billion.

While there are still a few stages left before anything is finalized, the NBA appears to want to move quickly on expansion. The 2028-29 season is the reported target date for when the new franchises would begin play, as both Las Vegas and Seattle have the arena infrastructure in place to help expedite the process.
