Props to Rob Gronkowski and @senatorcosta.com for supporting Woodland Hills High School! seanramblings.blogspot.com/2025/04/good...

Fun switching back and forth between the Nationals and Pirates radio broadcasts after Cutch almost got hit. Nats defended Lopez saying he wouldn’t try to hit Cutch in that situation and that was what he was telling Cutch. Pirates broadcaster disagreed!

I did something recently that I may never do again...ordered checks for my checking account!

As a Pirates fan, I'm a little amazed at how upset Nationals fans are right now. Lots of complaints about getting Crews at #2 while the Pirates got Skenes at #1. The Nats got Harper & Strasburg as #1s & Rendon at 6. Also funny to see fans write that the Pirates bullpen is much better than the Nats.

I have a few referrals available if anyone wants to join the @learnedleague.com trivia league. #LearnedLeague learnedleague.com

Rory needs some more sunscreen!

What is a classic book that everyone should read? Basically, I need a new book and figure I should read one I never have. (Maybe Moby Dick? Something by Hemingway?)

Ah yes, the Caribbean country of Saudi Arabia!

Have the Pirates posted or written anything publicly about the bricks? Apparently, they did something months ago, but I haven't seen it. #Pirates

Several friends and I pitched in and bought a brick before #PNCPark opened. Had no idea they were gone. Thanks to @newsmanchris.bsky.social for reporting on this.

How many of these songs from the April 1992 countdown do you know? And were these really the top songs from 33 years ago this week? #90smusic seanramblings.blogspot.com/2025/04/youv...

Yes I know that I’m old and out of touch, but I feel like both coaches should be wearing suits for a national championship game.

Today's post is about the top 30 songs from 33 years ago this week. Probably not the gold standard of pop music. @cmolanphy.bsky.social is not going to do a podcast about this chart! seanramblings.blogspot.com/2025/04/youv...

Next hint: This player had a cameo in an early 1990s movie based on a "TV show" set in Aurora, Illinois.

4 of the 5 (Mario, Sid, Ovi, & Yzerman) were named by @mattkoz.bsky.social and @tpushic.bsky.social. Can anyone get the 5th? First hint is that he's 17th on the all-time scoring list.

Trivia question to start your day. Of the NHL’s top 30 players in total points, only 5 have played with one team during their entire careers. Can you name them?

Between the Final Four basketball games, my son found a Pillow Fight Championship match. I have no idea what I’m watching.

This seems really spot on.

To the Winnipeg Jets fans who chanted where is Rutger during the Jets-Pens game I attended in November, I found him. seanramblings.blogspot.com/2024/11/live...

New blog post! I wrote about Paul Skenes and Livvy Dunne in GQ. #CelebritiesinPittsburghGear seanramblings.blogspot.com/2025/04/sken...

Pirates win and Skenes get the win! #RaiseIt #NoDoubtAboutIt #LetsGoBucs

Didn't think this would happen. Figured Bednar would have a mysterious trip to the IL.

Is Cory Booker allowed to take a break to use the bathroom?

The men's and women's final fours are all 1 seeds except for the upstart, Cinderella, surprise entry of, um, UConn's women's team.

Starting to think that Bednar shouldn’t be the closer for the Pirates anymore.
