Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘bleeds’ as in blood as in Pirates blood as in Pittsburgh as in what a week as in what a month as in what a season. The Pirates fired Derek Shelton after 28 games into his 6 seasons. Whose fault is this? Shelton? The front office? The players? (12:20) Rafael Devers is furious with the Red Sox. They moved him to DH after signing Alex Bregman, and now they asked him to play first after Casas got hurt. He said no. He won’t move again. Go find a 1B. (20:50) Draymond Green went off on the media for calling him angry. Is it the media’s fault? The Timberwolves tied up the series at 1 a piece. But things were said after that we have to discuss. (33:15) Review: The Penguin Lessons. (36:20) We have an American Pope. And he’s a White Sox fan! We have Americanized the pope position in ways it never has happened in history! (44:10) NPPOD.  Can the Celtics come back? Do they have enough? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

That's the nothing personal word of the day.

It is Friday, May 9th, 2025.

We made it. Well, many of us made it. Derek Shelton did not.

1:00.4

We have our first firing, our first prediction only from May 1st. When we told you that someone

1:07.2

would be fired in Major League Baseball during the month of May, thought it would

1:10.8

be Brandon Hyde.

1:11.8

We may get a twofer, but for now, the Pittsburgh Pirates have made the decision to fire Derek

1:18.2

Shelton, and the statements have been special.

1:23.4

Now, the reason we have bleeds, as our word of the day, is I have never been a big fan of the

1:29.8

concept of bleeding team colors. I've seen blood, mostly my own, and it's always red. I've actually

1:37.4

seen Don Kelly's blood, and I know it's not black and gold. But Bob Nutting would like you to believe that this is the dawn of a

1:46.4

new age. What it is is the end of another week of so much pirates material that it's almost hard

1:52.3

1:58.8

talk about the pirates, where they actually just try to win a couple games, where they try to have a normal moment.

2:07.3

Bob Nutting must have been fuming watching all the negativity, realizing that he was before

2:14.0

the break on nothing personal myriad times.

So he thought to himself, what can I do to really show the fans that I care? Not that I'm interested in money or interested in low payrolls or
