Nah, Kathy's been modelling all this time. I don't think she does major work but she seems to get booked consistently. lol I don't even know why I'm trying to rationalize this. Of course people would know when players have kids because they'd be seen with them.

I think Geno & Anna kept it hidden so well because Pitt media protected them. Anna's been at games all season so the reporters must have known. Also, they leveraged North American fans' relative unfamiliarity with Anna (except via IG) to post old pictures from when she wasn't pregnant.

It was 100% Montreal media being terrible. Ime, the media leave it alone, and the wives are generally not public enough figures for it to get around otherwise.

I just considered the possibility that Gonch and Gonch's family have all been by to see the baby and now I'm going to be barely functional for the rest of the day.

I'm mostly kidding about the secret kids, and I really don't know enough about him or his gf to accurately say whether they could be married or not. The image of him showing up at his retirement ceremony with a wife and like 5 kids he didn't tell anybody about is just funny to me, and I'm rooting for it to actually happen.

I felt so terrible for her. Like being pregnant is enough of an emotional whack-fest (at least it was for me). And then add in media jerks outing you before you can tell some of your family, no effing thank you.

I believe that Gonch feels like a proud grandparent on this day, I accept no other reality.

I'm pretty sure Montreal media is a special case of terrible.

Russian media's a different case, and even in this instance they didn't say anything until a few weeks before the baby was born. They also kept mum about Tarasenko's wife being pregnant, so I don't think even the Russian media are that terrible about this kind of thing.

Is 19 1/2 inches long for a newborn? I'm trying to guess if baby Malkin is going to be tall like Geno or short like his grandparents.

Fwiw, I also think Penguins rpf fandom really overestimates how much the world at large knows about the SO's of their players.

It's about average.

Honestly, you can't really tell from baby size how big an adult is going to be. Apparently I was 20 inches long and am a fully grown adult of 4'9" in height

(Anonymous) 2016-05-31 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Length at birth doesn't mean much, you usually can't tell about around 18 months-2 whether a kid will be tall and even then it's hard to predict. I was supposed to be 6' based on how tall I was at 2 but I got my first period way early and here I stand at 5'6". You never know.

Nooo I don't need this, I'm already having thoughts like "but what if Sid and Kathy's first child is a girl and she and Geno's son grow up together in Pittsburgh?"

I'm also not meme's resident Nats fan, lol. They beat my team in the World Series one of those years.

Ah, sorry. I realized today that as a Sharks fan I'm basically feeling like 2014 Royals fans -- my team deserves this, go away popular team -- so karma is coming full circle. (Tbh I'm not good at sports, I tend to feel bad for losing teams and guilty when my team is anything but a scrappy underdog.)

No, not in a shippy way. Because of Sid's quote about feeling like he and Geno grew up together [in Pittsburgh]. I think it would be very sweet if their kids actually got to do that and boy/girl childhood friendships are the cutest imo.

Eh, Williams just kind of felt...absent, that whole series. There was also that stuff in game 4 where he went to his usual 7th inning guy instead of someone better, and never considered bringing in Strasburg. The Nats had better pitching and probably a better lineup and I was shocked when the Giants won, game 2 notwithstanding,

I am rooting for the Dubs but would never call myself a fan. I've been rolling my eyes at the shirts and car flags that are ubiquitous around here the last year. It's bandwagonism and race/class issues at their worst.

Hmmm Mets pitcher Bartolo Colòn just had it revealed he has a second, secret family so you never know...
