Rolling out an intro for new followers and the old ones, too.

I’m Shawn. Pitt fan. I have three cats (T.J., Juice and Ginny), an irresponsible amount of video-gaming options, a Twitch channel that reaches almost 4 viewers per stream and a job at a newspaper that allows me to afford such things.
A chill just ran through the spine of my youngest cat, and she has no idea why, nor will she ever see this creation in her living space.
Kinda overkill. But im also lazy so kinda appealing

Altoona mentioned!

(Does anyone have an "Altoona mentioned" image with Altoona-style pizza, the character wearing a Curve cap, Mallo Cups and maybe an old shot of the distinctly orange Roaring River Mills building?)
It’s a damn shame you can’t see the Altoona horseshoe curve from the highway

A 21-7 sprint through August of 1991 has given the Griffey Project Pirates a solid lead on the NL East going into September. Clinching a second straight division flag shouldn’t take too long, right? Let’s find out.

Drops are on and so am I.

Unwinding after a night at the office and Ginny – usually the most rambunctious cat in the after-dark hours – is being the softest and quietest one.

Is this a trap?

Am I sick and only she senses it?

Did she break something and I just haven’t noticed it?

Did she … miss me? Naw. Can’t be that.

If Kirin J Callinan ever wants to remix the video/track for “Big Enough,” Ginny is volunteering her services for the scream chorus.

It's clear that the presence of Tommy Pham: Fantasy Football Enforcer pushed Paul Skenes over the top this season.

You can't put a price on that kind of inspiration, but the Pirates only paid $4,025,000 for it. Who's laughing now?

(It's Pirates fans, but it's that laugh before a sobbing breakdown)
Paul Skenes wins NL Cy Young unanimously! Pirates added Tommy Pham as their big free agent acquisition last year!

The trade deadline has passed us by, and an old friend is back in the clubhouse. Here’s hoping that he can help the Griffey Project Pirates get over the hump in 1991.

Drops are on and so am I.

We are nearing the trade deadline in 1991 and the Griffey Project Pirates have already made a massive move. Are more on the way? One way to find out. Click that link and enjoy the mental labor over trying to shore up the very shaky bullpen.

Drops are on and so am I.

I woke up from a dream where I was back at my old place and explaining AI to my grandparents, who passed away in 2015 and 2021.

Not sure if the dream qualifies as a nightmare, but the chats sure felt stressful; especially with my grandfather, who never met a verbal attack to me that he didn’t like.

The post-all-star break editions of this 1991 Pirates voyage commence as I’m hoping to pass and pull away from St. Louis and take a second straight NL East crown.

Drops are on and so am I.

Why is the person who first decided to put microphones in goal posts not on currency or a stamp?

You know, if this was the old place about 12-13 years ago, someone would already have a “Jaylen’s Shirt” account with a screen cap of Jaylen Warren’s torn shirt as the avatar.

Simpler times.

Maybe the Steelers should play fewer games past the bedtime of their 41-year-old quarterback.
November 10, 2025 at 2:38 AM
Watching this Steelers-Chargers game makes me question a lot of things, but also if 9-5 is scorigami.

It is not. 9-5 has happened twice, and once in my lifetime.

College Gameday coming to Pittsburgh for the Pittsburgh Riverhounds playoff game

I’d prefer to not have to fire up that song, nor ever hear it again.
Fire up the one Big and Rich song. College Gameday is coming to YOUR city.

Notre Dame at Pitt will get the national spotlight next weekend.

To the person who had the Homer Simpson cutout wearing the Larry Fitzgerald jersey for the 2003 GameDay episode ahead of the Virginia Tech game, please come back this weekend.
It’s official: ESPN’s College GameDay will be in Pittsburgh for Saturday’s Pitt-Notre Dame game.

The ACC will never behave normally and that’s perfect for Pitt. My column …

T.J. turned 8 today. While she’d never know or understand this, her role in giving me a reason to want to wake up on days in the not-so-distant past when I wouldn’t want to otherwise cannot be overstated.

While I never truly think of myself as a cat person, I fully admit to being a T.J. person.

Gus Johnson is going to reach a volume that only pets can hear before this season is over.

A quick little stream that will get this 1991 season to the All-Star Break is upon us. The Pirates hold a one-game lead on surprising St. Louis. Can they create some more distance.

Drops are on and so am I.

Post you from a different era.
