The Pittsburgh Zoo is clearly in win-now mode.

@ClintHurdle13 What a huge part of my childhood you were. I was 8 years old during that 2013 season and it meant everything to me. 21 now. Thanks for the memories!

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

@notrobbyboose Shit had me so pissed but this post made me feel better lmao. Words of a poet

Fucking 40 year old virgin alex karaban is hushing the crowd in a 2/15 game against furman. Pathetic

@fpm1515 @ghostpoppeaches @SternalLyric @CBKReport You are insufferable

@ghostpoppeaches @SternalLyric @CBKReport I watched them scrape by against western Michigan Toledo and buffalo which is not exactly confidence inspiring

Miami (OH) is 1-0 in Quadrant 1 games.

@motownsteve76 Couldn’t agree more

@bigboybuzzerman The NBA is completely miserable. I’d love to know how they are even funding to stream games. Life was better when we had the Bad Boy Pistons and MJ. Now we have a bunch of pussies shooting 50 Free Throws a game.

Looks like Miami Ohio and SMU are playing the “who can have the worst FG % game” Wow this is sad.

@motownsteve76 Nothing better than a tuff white boy in March. NBA can’t compete with a future accountant getting 5 seconds of fame

@bigboybuzzerman This isn’t my burner. I just got banned yesterday on my old account so I’m currently on a new one. However, i’ll say since I made that comment SMU has started to heat up. Crazy what I’m able to do with my words.

@motownsteve76 Fuck I got rage baited by a burner gg lmao

@bigboybuzzerman Listen here bum. I’m not sure we’re watching the same game but it looks like to me SMU hasn’t scored since Barack Obama was the President.

@motownsteve76 Are you retarded?

@BarryKalscheur @benlikessport W ragebait almost got me bad lmao

@benlikessport That is so wrong. Just another example of how overrated and overhyped sports have become.

Shoutout to all the teachers next week who will let their students watch March Madness during class I don’t remember much of what I learned, but I will always remember the teachers who let me watch the tournament. We ALL thank you.

@huels_ryan @benlikessport W

@benlikessport School principal here- I project the first round games on the wall of the lunch room. Kids go nuts- it’s all about making memories!

@MichaelGlennan7 @JonRothstein He’s there next year lol

@JonRothstein Shouldn’t Syracuse interview him

Gerry McNamara has Siena just one win away from its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2010. Saints will face Merrimack in the MAAC Tournament title game. Heck of a turnaround in Year 2.

@daneavanderbilt @cowlonfull Ur lowkey him ngl

@cowlonfull Try this: college-basketball.danevanderbilt.com I had the same issue and built a website so I could view games from the Power 6 conferences and then anything televised.

You essentially have to solve three riddles every day to be able to look at the full slate of college basketball games on the espn app.

I just woke up my daughter (2yo) to tell her Miami went 31-0 in regular season. Rubbing her eyes, she said, “Daddy, there’s no way the selection committee can keep them out of the tournament; that would be malpractice.” Hugging her, I started crying. They grow up so fast.

@matt_EVDC @greg16676935420 @GrantCardone Any one with half a brain and half blind could see that is AI

Imagine paying someone $10,000 for their AI course when they can’t even identify obvious AI

Beast Games is actually a good tv series
