NOTHING AGAINST Konnor, who has been a great addition and I predict will have a great MLB career, but would'ya look at Esmerlyn's stats? OMG! In 1/3 the ABs , he has almost as many RBI. And that ridiculous 1.128 OPS! He's hitting .500 RISP.

I want a cheap grocery store knockoff t-shirt for Valdez!

(TBC, I'm squinting accusingly at the institutional issues, not at either person. They both strike me as decent people, as far as anyone can tell about a sports player.)

It will be interesting to watch if we start seeing Esmerlyn Valdez on T-shirts or if that only goes for white rookie Pirates.

Welcome back, Furries!
#Pittsburgh is always so pleased to have you. My opinion: it's the huge smiles on those costume faces! They just spread a lot of joy and cuteness around the city.

(HYDRATE, FURRIES, HYDRATE!)

Skylark Duquesne presents: Ganymede! The next entry in my set of songs inspired by the moons of Jupiter.

Ganymede is dedicated to the trans families fleeing the U.S. for safety and the scientists lured away after their grants were DOGE'd.

How humiliating for America. We will be paying for these mistakes for generations.

Such a world where I rely on Gul Dukat for the news.

Having lived in Alaska for over a decade, I have to say that I am a big fan of sovereign wealth funds that issue dividends to citizens. This is a great idea, and I love that you don't need an oil field to start it.

This quote should be taught to kids in public schools.

As one does!

I wish I could get as much validation from other humans as I get when I catch an error from the #AI

Walk-off homers are something of a tradition in Pittsburgh.

If you think I wouldn’t be cheering, I don’t know what to tell you. HIZZAH!

(Still getting a booster)

I have the fondest memories of ‘76. Nothing at all like this.

My suggestion:
Anyone who accepts a payout from this #slushfund, we prosecute for fraud.

I mean, any city council has to take a vote to approve before spending tax dollars to settle a lawsuit. Bonkers.
