No disrespect, none, but nobody should be putting that women's name out in the public domain. That's nothing but trouble.
I know a girl just like thatThe oversized glasses, large hoop earrings and weird haircut are always dead giveaways........
Many’s the time I’ve looked back on my own life and mumbled “Thank God there were no phone cameras back then.” I really was a ******* idiot, cringeworthy. People no longer have the luxury to royally f up in public.
Rules to live by:
1. Don’t act out on social media.
2. Remember that when you’re out in public there’s the potential that your behavior will be accessible to the whole world for all eternity.
And to Jim Harbaugh, keep your finger out of your nose while you’re on the sideline, ffs.
It was on YouTube, so it's already out there. There are probably 40 US women named Cheryl Wagner, but probably only 1 with the skunk haircut look.

With Trea possibly out for the rest of the regular season, is there a scenario where Miller gets quickly promoted to the bigs?
He won’t be on the postseason roster, but may benefit by getting some exposure to the major league clubhouse.
Yeah, good question and I was wondering about Justin Crawford also.
I guess the old 40-man roster in September is a thing of the past?
Because their owner is a dumbass. I feel bad for the Pirates fanbase. They'd fill PNC if there was a competitive team to cheer for, but Nutting isn't interested.How comes there's no Pirates thread?!
I'm kidding. I'll show myself out.
It is astonishing to me that MLB puts up with that idiot. He's had offers to buy the team, too, and he turns them down!
I understand that a sports franchise is basically a business and you want it to be profitable. But a sports franchise is also basically the world's biggest toy for billionaires.
Here is my question:
Why bother owning a SPORTS FRANCHISE if you have no interest in having it be competitive? Just... invest elsewhere if you're not interested in the team winning. There are countless other places to put your money where you can just look at the bottom line and nothing else.
That swing strikes me as someone who took his platooning (benching) to heart. He’s swinging within himself and just taking the pitch where it’s going.
There were rumors years ago that Mark Cuban inquired about buying the Pirates. I believe that may have been when Kevin McClatchy owed the team, right before Deadbeat Bob. Rumors also were that the other MLB owners voted it down. If that’s the case, then the other owners didn’t want the Pirates to be competitive, because Cuban isn’t buying a franchise to watch it fail. He proved that with the Mavs.
Apparently, the McClatchy told Cuban the team wasn’t for sale. My mistake. I do remember rumors of MLB owners not wanting Cuban to own the team, though. Here’s Cuban’s explanation of why he didn’t buy the team.

A much needed outing for Nola. Hope he is figuring it out. Could really use the good Nola in a few weeks.
That’s how you do that!
SO glad to see Nola pitch like prime Nola….

With the patchwork lineup, after Bohm and Trea went on IR, things were looking less than promising for the Fightins heading into the game.
Nola was very impressive, as if he found his old stuff. A few of the hosts on WIP in recent days (since his last start) were basically indicating that Nola couldn't be counted on to start the rest of the season, and definitely not in the playoffs. And by extension, since his control issues had, since returning, mostly been in an early inning, they didn't think he could be a viable bullpen option. I just shook my head at that, thinking it was a typical sports-talk over reaction.
With Wheeler out for the season, any starting pitchers that seem to be in a groove will be a great bonus heading into the playoffs.
