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.

So the ball just takes off, just explodes off the bat.

Line drive might not have been any higher at any point in its arc than the batter's helmet.

Barely clears the fence.

Pretty much burrows a hole in the grass hill where it lands.

And I think to myself, who was that? Good morning to you. Good Thursday morning. I'm Dan Kovachievich of

D.K. Pittsburgh Sports. This is Daily Shot of Pirates coming to you all week from Bradenton, Florida.

If you're into football and or hockey, I am too, and I offer up daily shots of Steelers and

penguins, which I hope you'll also check out. Pirates lost to the twins yesterday.

Nine to four in Fort Myers.

That game, like the one before it, like the one before that.

And like the one before that, they don't mean anything,

but they especially mean nothing when the

opponent travels a long distance, not because the travel is so grueling, but because those teams,

the ones making the long trip, will never bring their good players because it's seen as something of a reward to not have to make the Fort Myers trip, which is two hours away from here.

Or vice versa, like when the Red Sox came to Bradenton the day before and the pirates pasted them, they didn't have hardly any of their guys.
