I'm here for a good time, not a long time. I have approximate knowledge of many things, like my father before me. Call me anything but late to dinner.

As a Pirates and Twins fan, I am actually invincible.
Jun 4
The one good thing about being a Pirates fan is that this simply doesn’t hurt that bad. When you’ve been knocked down and kicked repeatedly over and over for years the kicks stop hurting.

Well this really sucks. If you haven't read or seen Persepolis, you need yo fix that.
RIP Marjane Satrapi, the great cartoonist and film director, best known for PERSEPOLIS. She was only 56. A great talent. She will be missed.

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.

VARNEY: The Pentagon is sending thousands of Marines to the Middle East. Trump says he doesn't want boots on the ground, so what are these Marines doing there?
SEN. JONI ERNST: Hahaha. Well, they provide a lot of leverage. I love the president when he keeps reporters on their toes. Believe me, President Donald J Trump has the best interests of the United States at heart.

Linda was minutes away from the school where she taught a special education class when ICE agents rammed their vehicles into her car while chasing a US citizen.
They struck her car, and left her to bleed out without offering any type of first aid until the paramedics arrived.
Linda Davis should still be here.
A profoundly heart-wrenching loss.
May she Rest in Power.
