I picked the Pens in 7 in the Post-Gazette before the series for the reasons we saw the other night - the Pens are tough, mentally tough and know how to win.

What happens first? A victory for a Pirates starter or Joe Starkey acting normal?
Zeise
1:07
A world series victory will come before Joe Starkey acts normal....

I hope that Capel turns things around, but if he can not, is AD H Lyke in trouble? Messing up BB is bad, but she has a # of other misses (with coaches). Your thoughts?
Zeise
1:08
No, I think they are very happy with what she has done beyond men's basketball. She is safe but she needs to own up to making a mistake if it comes to pass that this season goes south. She can't be stubborn, if it goes poorly she needs to move on

Have you played any poker lately at Rivers?
Zeise
1:09
I have not. I have not had free time recently. I have played very sparsely this year

Does the absence of Ben give Tomlin an even longer leash now that he doesn't have a HOF QB? How many more seasons of not winning a playoff game before he is on the hotseat? If you owned the Steelers how many more mediocre seasons would you give him?
Zeise
1:09
I don't think so. I think the expectation is always the same. The Steelers don't fire coaches, though, so he has plenty of room for error and has built a lot of good will. He will call his shot.

Paul I have never seen someone so wrong in his picks than Poni. Seriously that man jinxes the local teams and is wrong like 95% of the time. If I bet the opposite of him I would be a rich man!

The funny thing is he makes pick for Fan Duel or something. I think the site must love having him because he makes them a lot of money - because everyone who follows his picks loses and ends up paying!!!

Paul you used to reply to some of the commenters in your columns. I thought it was cool. But you haven't done that in a long time. Why?
Zeise
1:12
It is a good question and one I agree I need to get back to doing. I enjoy the interaction with fans.

Paul, how many more years will it be before the Pirates have (ongoing) salaries in excess of $100 Million? That's per year.
Zeise
1:13
I don't know. I don't see it happening any time soon to be honest.

Paul, if Pickett and Willis were both gone by pick #20, do you think they would have tried to trade up to draft Jordan Davis?
Zeise
1:13
No, I don't they made it clear they wanted a quarterback

Paul why does CNN have abysmal ratings? Literally nobody watches them and they used to be my #1 choice!
Zeise
1:14
Because it is awful TV and it isn't news. All they do is shriek and squeal and make excuses for the current administration. If they were more honest, more people would watch

Did you know the PG employee who was killed in the storm the other day? So sad.
Zeise
1:14
I met him once but didn't know him. It was absolutely a tragedy and I feel so bad for his family. What a tragedy.

OK I have to run, thanks so much for all the questions lets do it next week
