Each person I tell I went to WVU has the same reaction: "Oh man, big party school." You'd think our dorm cafeterias had kegs or something.

Postseason baseball has returned to Morgantown! #HailWV

Kyle Dubas told the Penguins front office that nothing would make him happier than a busload of staff bonding on their way to Wheeling to support the Nailers. We ended up having two buses make the trip, with Dan Muse along for the ride. Read more: pens.pe/4nSmgLI

Caught up with Sidney Crosby in Switzerland yesterday. He recently said he’d go year to year on future contracts. But that didn’t mean he plans on retiring anytime soon. Far from it. He had some interesting things to say. Read about it here: nytimes.com/athletic/72957…

NAILERS WIN!!!

Holy Banana Bread #ForTheWheel

@SethRorabaugh FWIW, also happened after Game 2 at home. Also hadn’t seen that before (my first game this season though)

Not sure I've seen this before in hockey. The Nailers had what I assume was a prayer circle after their overtime win on Saturday:

GAME SEVEN IS SET!!

I kept this story in my pocket for a long time.... In Pittsburgh, September 15th is Roberto Clemente Day. Every year the whole organization fans out across the city. It's like Christmas. Roberto's family is there, Vera and the boys. My first year as manager was 2011. We celebrated. We shook hands and moved on. We didn't win. 19 consecutive losing seasons. 2012 rolls around. Same day, same celebration. We had another losing season, our 20th consecutive. After the ceremony, Roberto Jr. walked over. "My mom wants to talk to you." We went into the dugout. Me, Vera, and her three sons. She spoke in Spanish. I played four years of winter ball so I understood enough. She wasn't angry, but she was passionate. And I kept hearing Roberto's number come up. Roberto Jr. translated. "My mother wants you to know that there cannot be a 21st losing season. That was Roberto's number. It would be a disgrace to his legacy." She was staring right at me. Before I could even think about what to say, words came out of my mouth: "I promise you, Vera. That won't happen." Roberto Jr. looked at me and said, "You made my mom a promise. I hope you can keep it." I said, "I hope I can keep it too." I didn't tell my coaches. I didn't tell the players. I told my wife. That was it. The next year, 2013, we broke the consecutive seasons losing streak. Ended it at 20. On Roberto Clemente Day that September, Vera came walking across that field. And I probably got one of the most meaningful hugs I've ever received in my life. The players did all the heavy lifting. I just got the hug. Some promises are worth making before you know if you can keep them. @Pirates
