Man, they must have both gotten the full spa treatment. Looks like they've aged in reverse.

Still amazes me that the 1979 Pirates defeated that loaded Orioles team.

Orioles starting pitchers .
Scott McGregor
Mike Flanagan
Jim Palmer
Dennis Martinez ?

Came back from being down 3 to 1. Willie Stargell willed them to win. Pirates rotation was not too shabby either. Bert Blyleven, John Candelaria, Bruce Kison, Don Robinson, Jim Bibby and Kent Tekulve for the save. I spent my summers listening to KDKA AM after sundown to catch the last 3 to 4 innings every night in the 70s.

Rumor mill is Kellen Moore, Sark, Kliff Kingsbury and Brian Flores.


Fired Kellen Moore 2 years ago from OC position.

I remember watching that series as a 9 year old…..rooting so freaking hard for Pittsburgh….

Even though I rooted against the Pirates, I did get a 'terrible towel' as a kid when we went on a trip their. That thing is still around here somewhere. Also, I do thank the pirates for giving my Reds Dave Parker.

Did that one summer when I was 12. Not my favorite summer but would be good for every young boy to spend a summer doing that. I don’t think hay bales are gathered the same way anymore.

Yeah, I'd say they have machines for it, mostly. I know some still collect them that way around here though.

"The Cobra" was a beast in batters box.

Don't think we will ever see another Manager as high strung as Earl Weaver ..

Can't remember was Manny Sanguillen on that team or was he before?

Remember Earl calling his closer Don "full pack" Stanhouse.

Drop to #6 after first loss of season? After starting 14-0? Behind 3 2 loss teams? That’s absurd. If that was Duke, UK, Kansas, or NC, they MAY have dropped to #2 at worst.

As much as I’d like to complain…we lost by 30 points.

Former Titans GM Ran Carthon on 104.5 The Zone this morning with Ramon Foster.

I'll say this... Ran is a good dude. He hasn't gone scorched Earth. He hasn't thrown anyone under the bus. He hasn't called anyone out or made any soundbites. The only issue he addressed was the report that he's lazy, and all he said was, "That's never been a word used to describe me and it came from someone who doesn't know me." (I assume PK and maybe a little bit of Brinker). Said he was going to do some travelling and help around the house and has already been contacted by a few folks saying, "We're going to let the dust settle then we will talk," about getting hired somewhere.

I don't think he was the bee's knees as a GM but the Titans failed in firing him right now. Tea leaves now show that in back to back years, it was Chad Brinker who butted heads with Vrabel and slandered him out the door and now Brinker didn't like Ran's philosophy and slandered him out the door too.

And it's Chad Brinker that wanted to interview a 36 year old former lawyer from Montreal Canada? He trusts a person who grew up speaking French and has only worked in football since 2015?

Over Ran Carthon, former NFL player that has worked in the league since 2008.

And Mike Vrabel, all American, pro bowler, 15 year vet, college and NFL assisant coach, head coach that got the number 1 seed with the most banged up roster in NFL history, with Ryan Tannehill running the show.

Chad Brinker-Logical thinker....

The Titans look so doomed...ugh.

Yeah, we only lost once though. What justification does a 2 loss team have over a 1 loss, former #1 team?

And then a team described as “bad” had us on the ropes. In the grand scheme of things, basketball rankings don’t matter till end of February, first of March. We’ll be fine.
