Okay, so that made for quite the day.

Good morning to you.

Good Friday morning.

I'm Dan Kovach, I'm D.K. Pittsburgh Sports.

It comes your way bright and early every weekday.

yesterday's daily shot, which I can safely say, we're both unprecedented when it comes to

baseball here in our world, and then everything else that follows other media, social media,

doing some shows today, various outlets.

And, you know, this is the sort of thing that happens whenever everybody, myself included, thinks one way and then finds out something else.

Try to be honest and up front about this throughout. And part of that was letting

people know why we were doing this investigation. It was because of a lack of trust between

the public and the franchise, between the public and the owner of the franchise.

One of those was, well, if he's losing money, why doesn't he just sell?

And I have a twofold answer to that.
