Trading McLouth 

Are we going to be reading about such things all winter long?

NFL week 5 

Ever stay up really, really late on Saturday just so you could roll out of bed, Sunday, just in time for the 1pm kickoffs?

|

Lanny retires 

|

Steelers maimed 

The Steelers are dealing with a lot of injuries.

Can they make Polamalu a two-way player? I'd like to see him run the draw. Or get some time on the offensive line.

Pedro goes yard 

The P-G's Colin Dunlap was there for Pedro Alvarez's first Bucco dinger:

The power everyone spoke of perked up, when Alvarez hit a prodigious, no-doubter over the fence in right-center that travelled onto the property of an adjacent golf course.
Dejan's analysis and grades are in. Ronny Ballgame fails and will "surely will be shopped in offseason to teams that see more." Overall, the grades seem fair. If I had to bicker, Duke's C- seems too generous for his league-worst .304 BAA. J-Mike's Clutch doesn't outweigh his .228/.300/.382 line for a B-, and no way Nyjer's 91 OPS+ and striking out 20% of the time is satisfactory for a starting OF.

NFL week 4: Ravens at Steelers 

Roethlisberger and Flacco run for their lives as the Rashard Mendenhall Era begins.

|

Sunday, September 28, 2008

Game 162: Pirates at Padres 

More Beer and Far More Beer at four.

|

Saturday, September 27, 2008

Game 161: Pirates at Padres 

Beer and More Beer at ten.

|

Friday, September 26, 2008

Game 160: Pirates at Padres 

Snell and Beer tonight.

|

Thursday, September 25, 2008

Game 159: Pirates at Brewers 

Duke and Gallardo. Game on.

Duke going for win number 6.

|

Wednesday, September 24, 2008

Game 158: Pirates at Brewers 

Maholm and Sabathia at eight.

Maholm is going for his twentieth fifteenth twelfth tenth win.

In other news, the Lions fired Dave Littlefield Matt Millen.

|

Pedro Alvarez, Pittsburgh Pirate 

MLB and the union have settled their grievance. Pedro Alvarez is in Pittsburgh and his signing will be announced at a press conference shortly, Dejan reports. Welcome aboard, Pedro.

|

Tuesday, September 23, 2008

Game 157: Pirates at Brewers 

Karstens vs. Bush at eight. The Brewers trail the Mets by one game in the wild card race, and have won nine in a row against the Bucs.

Meanwhile, testimony has been halted in the union's grievance hearing as the Bucs and Pedro work on finalizing a contract.

|

Monday, September 22, 2008

Alvarez and Bucs agree to new contract 

Pedro and the PBC have agreed to a four-year, major league contract worth a guaranteed $6,355,000, reports the P-G's Dejan Kovacevic. Supposedly the contract will be signed pending a physical, which could happen as early as this week, and the contract would quash the pending grievance. All hail El Matatan!

|

Sunday, September 21, 2008

NFL week 3: Steelers at Eagles 

Game at four. Steelers should beware the staph infection if they get some scrapes in this one.

|

Game 156: Astros at Pirates 

Oswalt and Ohlendorf at 1:30.

|

Saturday, September 20, 2008

Game 155: Astros at Pirates 

Jimmy Barthmaier and Scuffy Moehler open for Lynyrd Freakin' Skynyrd. Game at seven.

|

Friday, September 19, 2008

Game 154: Astros at Pirates 

Snell and Wolf at seven open for Zambelli fireworks. Among qualifying NL starters, Snell is dead last in ERA (5.69), WHIP (1.83!), and BAA (.313). Must protect manhood.

|

Thursday, September 18, 2008

Game 153: Dodgers at Pirates 

Maholm vs. Kershaw. Bucs trail 2-1 in the bottom of the fourth.

|

Wednesday, September 17, 2008

Game 152: Dodgers at Pirates 

Chad Billingsley and the Dodgers will play baseball at PNC tonight at seven. Zach Duke and the Bucs will try not to embarrass themselves again.

|

Tuesday, September 16, 2008

Game 151: Dodgers at Pirates 

Karstens vs. Lowe at seven. Pup Night! Last chance this year to bring your dog to the park.

|

Monday, September 15, 2008

Game 150: Dodgers at Pirates 

Ohlendorf vs. Kuroda at seven. Cutch and Neil Walker will be in the dugout, absorbing the teachings of Ronny Ballgame.

|

Sunday, September 14, 2008

NFL week 2: Steelers at Browns 

Game at eight.

|

Game 149: Cardinals at Pirates 

Thompson and Davis at one-thirty.

The Pirates ride this two-game winning streak to 62-86. If the season ended today, I believe they would have the fourth overall pick in the draft. Only Washington (56), San Diego (57), and Seattle (57) have fewer wins.

|

Saturday, September 13, 2008

Game 148: Cardinals at Pirates 

Snell and Wainwright. Bucs down 1-0 in the top of the first.
