Who Should The Pirates Opening Day Starter Be?
It's incredibly early to write this post, but I kind of just wanted to beat everyone else to the punch.The Pittsburgh Pirates open up their 2012 season on April 5th at home against the Philadelphia Phillies. That means Roy Halladay. So who will the Pirates roll out against him? There are six options, sort of. In ALPHABETICAL order (for the sake of SUSPENSE), the options are...

Pittsburgh Pirates Pitcher James McDonald Gives Himself Gatorade Shower Following Seven-Inning Start (Video)
When Los Angeles Angels pitcher Dan Haren completed his eighth inning Thursday night, he walked back to the dugout showing little emotion. In Pittsburgh, Pirates pitcher James McDonald was celebrating for just getting through the seventh. When McDonald got the Chicago Cubs' Tyler Colvin to fly out to end the top of the seventh inning, he reacted a bit differently than you might expect...

James McDonald, 2nd Half MVP, Update
Last week, I wrote this post, talking about Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher James McDonald and his efficiency and progression throughout the year. I came to the conclusion that he was very inefficient up until June 22nd, when he kind of turned a corner. He was very good in his first 3 starts after that date, and he made another one on Monday against the Braves, and it was probably his...

J-Mac deals Pirates to 3-1 win
Final: Pirates 3, Braves 1
WP: James McDonald (7-4)
LP: Tim Hudson (9-7)
SV: Joel Hanrahan (29)
James McDonald gave up his fair share of hits today (8), but when you strike out 9 batters in 5 1/3 innings, you can afford to do that. McDonald’s stuff was just filthy at times tonight as he posted his 2nd consecutive scoreless outing in a pitcher’s duel at Turner Field.

The James McDonald Efficiency Post
Probably my favorite part of the Pittsburgh Pirates 2010 season was the addition of James McDonald. The first reason I loved it is because it gave my blog name even more prominence, the second reason I loved it was because J-Mac was phenomenal in his time with the Pirates after the trade. Now we're more than halfway done with the 2011 season, and it's time to check up on my favorite...

Game 63 Recap: McDonald Notches Fourth Win
James McDonald wasn’t always pretty. But he got the job done. The Mets scored only two runs against him, but they left a lot of men in on. The offense was able to push three runs across as the Pirates pulled within one game of .500. The Mets got things going in the first. Jose [...]
