Thought you might appreciate it!

EDIT/ADDITION--BTW--how's the roof coming along?

They're just irrelevant. Nobody in Pittsburgh is bitching about no fans in the stands, believe me.

The roof is done but I'm having a hell of a time getting up all the nails. Ran over one with the bicycle yesterday. Lucky I have spares.

...have you got an old speaker-magnet lying around? I have a couple magnets off of the old Peavey Black Widow (field-replaceable) woofers (size of a small dinner plate)--just run around with a magnet--unless they used all-aluminum (but I thought those days were over).

I'm a little surprised that the roofing crew didn't run a magnet around the yard. Many roofing companies have a magnet on wheels, very much like a wide broom that you'd use to sweep the garage or driveway, except that it's a magnet.

 

No, but I was thinking about rigging up an electromagnet., posted on September 18, 2020 at 08:28:57

I have a couple of lantern batteries laying around, and (heh) plenty of nails...

Now that a .500 season is a mathematical impossibility, I guess they can always strive to win 20 games before it's over.
I guess that firing Clint Hurdle was not the answer.
But when I listen to Bob Walk & Joe Block call a game (Walky & Blocky), if I didn't know better, I'd swear the Pirates were going to The World Series.

(I'm actually a hater, BTW.)

It meant nothing. The only thing that'll benefit this team is a change of ownership.

'a change of ownership'

how many times have seen the old staff retained for continuity?

it's like there's only 'X' amount of pro staffers to choose from over 'X' period of time ... so they make the rounds
