If Mario can dress as a frog and fight tyrants then so can you.

Well, the Pirates haven't won one in my lifetime, and if the Mariners make it to the World Series this year, the Pirates will have the longest World Series appearance drought at 46 years.

I still hold they would've won it all in 2015 if Arrieta hadn't been pitching out of his mind during that span.

Kinda hate that, as a Pirates fan, the baseball gods are forcing me to root for the Brewers on the NL side of the #MLBpostseason bracket.

So Oregon's band plays the Naboo celebration theme from the end of The Phantom Menace on 3rd down, apparently. . . . And it's really throwing me off because of all the hype music, that's what they choose? I just want to know why? 😂

WTF is going on?!

These announcers aren't even paying attention to the score, are they?

I'm happy for Seattle. But I want that for us some day, dammit! #Pirates

Let's just send both teams to Toronto and they can try to take down the Blue Jays together.

At this point, I feel like whoever wins this is going to be at a pitching disadvantage heading into Toronto on Sunday.

We're all seeing, in real time, why AJ Pierzynski is in the broadcast booth and not working his way up the coaching ranks in some organization. 😂 #Bunt #FoulBall

He ran an excellent campaign in 2022, IMO. Going to every county & talking to voters in person gave him an authenticity most politicians lack, & the master class-level trolling of Dr. Oz from the jump was brilliant. Everything he's done since we elected him has been the opposite of all that, though.

I was in college when Legacy came out and my roommate was obsessed with it, but she was literally the only person I knew who even saw it. So I can believe it was dunked on by fans of the original (like Star Wars always is) and beloved by people whose first experience with Tron was Legacy.

Nothing makes it so clear that tech companies are desperate for AI to become necessary as forcing it into every product (even when it makes no sense) for free. If it was actually something worthwhile, it would have been monetized immediately.

And haven't even appeared in a World Series in 46 years next week. Yankees fans could never.

Nobody has it worse than Yankees fans. Take it from me, a Pirates fan.

He showed up to school, but he's still wearing his pajamas. The girl he has a crush on asks him to help her with the math homework, but he can't because now he's just in his underwear and he can't remember his locker combination!

Admittedly, I do not follow hockey very much. But I did know that the Pens fired Mike Sullivan over the summer. So imagine my surprise and confusion when I flip on the game and still see Sullivan's face on TV.

I thought she was destined to wait out the AI bubble for the next two years so she could join the '27 club...
