Why The Pittsburgh Pirates Should Be Suspended

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

It's like somebody keeps trying to poke the Pittsburgh Pirates mascot logo's other eye out.  Problem is that it is happening from within - sabotage, conspiracy, and greed.  Meet the Pittsburgh Pirates.  Major League Baseball should impose fines to Pirate management and ownership for not even trying to win.  This ...

Garrett Jones – Making A Name For Himself In Pittsburgh

Monday, July 20th, 2009

Garrett Jones has been on a tear lately.  In fact, he was long overdue to contribute as major leaguer.  Those wacky Pirates front office people will make you think they traded Nate McLouth to get Jones into the lineup.  Don't buy it.  Had that been the case they would have never ...

Joel Hanrahan Could Have Been The Only Pitcher To Win And Lose The Same Game

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

In what can only be described as a weird thought, Joel Hanrahan could have been the first player in major-league baseball history to win and lose the same game. If Hanrahan had been traded to Houston instead of Pittsburgh, the oddest scenario ever could have been played out.  The Astros and Nationals have ...

Linked And Loaded – Tuesday 7/7

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

I still remember watching many of Evel Knievel's jumps live when they happened.  I do not remember seeing this particular jump so I thought I would share it with you guys.  If Knievel didn't do what he did, would there be any X-Games? Bootlegger Sports has Lance Armstrong screwing up at ...

Linked And Loaded – Tuesday 6/30

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Living halfway between Pittsburgh and Cleveland can really suck sometimes.  The Pirates have been down and out for so many year that there are no expectaions anymore.  The Indians recently threw in the towel by trading Mark DeRosa.  The Pirates can't be accused of throwing in the towel, but have ...

Kerry Wood: Closer Or Just Closed?

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Kerry Wood is having a bumpy ride in his first season as a Cleveland Indian.  The former Cubs closer has really been struggling as of late.  Over the weekend, Wood blew two saves against his former Cubs team in his return to Chicago.  Last night, Pittsburgh almost rallied from a ...

Paul Maholm – Hard Luck Loser

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Paul Maholm took another one on the chin Sunday.  He pitches well enough to win almost every time he takes the mound.  Unfortunately for Paul, he is a Pittsburgh Pirate.  Being a Pirate pitcher means that if you give up a run in the first five innings, there is a ...

Roberto Clemente : A Memorial Day Tribute

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Every once in the while, an athlete dies before he is done building on the positive legacy they have worked a lifetime to achieve.  Roberto Clemente was taken away from his family, the game of baseball, and the millions he reached out to before his time should have been up.  ...
