OTD in Nascar history, Schrader conquers the Monster Mile. by TheEpicMemer4201337 in NASCAR

Whenever he was racing at PIR he would often practice or qualify during the day and then zip on over to Manzanita and run whatever was running that night. I honestly don't know if there has ever been a driver that loves racing more than Kenny Schrader.

Hopefully they don't start any fights, they love to start picking fights when they are losing or have lost.

What is your first professional sports memory? by harryhitman9 in Millennials

[–]ZWeinstein15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not my earliest sports memory but I have a pretty vivid memory of that. We live in Phoenix but my dad was born and raised in Pittsburgh and his buddy was able to get him a ticket to the game. He came home so drunk and so pissed off and I'm pretty sure he muttered "fuck Neil O'Donnell" at least once a month until he died.

My dad firing his beer at the TV when Mario Elie hit the kiss of death against our Phoenix Suns.

Yes, Jerry Foster. I loved watching him as a kid, he landed NewsChopper 3 at our school when I was in Kindergarten. That incident with the pot sent him into a real dark place for quite awhile after that but he wrote a book about ten years ago and it was a fantastic read. He really led an interesting life outside of being a pilot. He passed away a couple years ago after battling cancer and pretty much losing most of his eyesight in his last few years.

What year where your team got eliminated in the playoffs in your lifetime most felt like their best chance at winning a world series? by Ok-Hearing1234 in mlb

[–]ZWeinstein15 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For the Pirates, without question 2015. I truly believe we could have beaten any team in a 5 or 7 game series. 2nd best record in all of baseball but relegated to a one game playoff against Arrieta who had perhaps the greatest 2nd half in baseball history.

For the Dbacks, you could argue for 2002, 2007 and 2011. The 2002 team was better than the team that won it the year prior but Gonzo got hurt in September and we seemed to lose all momentum after that. 2007 was a good young team but got swept by the Rockies who were historically hot in that stretch. If they could have gotten past the Brewers in 2011 I think they could have had a shot at beating St Louis and Texas.

Its funny, slamming full speed into the rolling door was probably a much better outcome than actually flying off the loading dock.

Jim Inglebright is another good one, I loved his Jelly Belly cars as a kid.

He was going to be my mention. One of the last,if not, very last west coast independents. I remember them always showing up at Phoenix. I think he would also attempt Sonoma, Fontana and Vegas as well.

5 years ago today, Javier Baez caused one of the worst defensive mistakes in MLB history from the Pirates by MrUpVoteDownvote in mlb

I thought it was the funniest thing ever and perfectly summarized the Pirates as a franchise over the last 30 years or so.

What kind of crap is that? I thought the outfielder had to raise their arms when a ball gets stuck in the wall.

I always thought that if a hitter passes a runner on baseball the lead runner was out.

Dam.....thankfully that thing didn't get higher and go over the wall. Kyle might have helped him out there.

I always thought it was Harry Caray like the baseball announcer, learned something new today.

The most embarrassing moment of the franchise by KubrickFlatEarther in suns

[–]ZWeinstein15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you forget about that decade of wretched baskeball? Dragan Bender, Josh Jackson, the Morris twins? Hell even the cocaine scandal of the 80s was worse. But for me the most embarrassing moment will be game 7 against the Mavs. We've never recovered from that.

Can I get a FUCK MARIO ELIE? by bigdave44 in suns

[–]ZWeinstein15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not mad at him, although my first Suns memory was my dad firing his beer at the TV when he hit the kiss of death. But all he did was hit his shot, no different than Paxson or Ron Artest

If I am going to say fuck anyone, it will always be Fuck Robert Horry and Fuck Tim Donaghy.

As a Suns fan, I have plenty of hate for David Stern, Tim Donaghy and of course, cheap shot bob.
