This holiday season, Amazon brings you an unmissable month of festive football.

What a fantastic night of football.

Including 10 Premier League games.

It doesn't get much better than that.

And Tuesday's UEFA Champions League must watch match.

The biggest live games from the biggest leagues all wrapped up.

It's on Prime.

Well, I guess upon further review, it's not really going all that well, is it good morning

to you. Good Thursday morning, I'm Day on Kabat, Rich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports. This is Daily

Shot of Pirates. It comes your way bright and early every weekday, no matter what happens the night before.

If you happen to prefer or just additionally enjoy, football and or hockey, I also offer daily shots of Steelers and Penguins, which are probably a lot easier on the fingernails these days.

Padres 9, Pirates 8, multiple lead changes, multiple blown leads, multiple surpassed leads.

And just like those games over the weekend against the Diamondbacks, the other guys came away on top.

You can break down till you're blue in the face, this play, that play, this decision, that personnel choice.

But at the end of the day, the other guys got one more run, just like

what happened over the weekend.

And I don't mean to oversimplify this and to offer something as boring and predictable

as, well, the other teams are just better, but the other teams, they probably are just better.

In fact, at the moment, it's not really an opinion.

I don't know if you've summoned up the guts to look at the National League wildcard

standings lately, but if you haven't, you better be sitting down because you're not going to

like this.
