NL Dogfight a?" September 24th  

The race got a little tighter last night after the Brewers and Mets found victory, while the Phillies were never able to get the offense going.Recap of Monday's Action:The Phillies offense finally took the night off, but some credit had to be given to Braves starter, Mike Hampton. Hampton allowed   more...

Bucs Lose in Extras

As good as the Pirates have been in extra innings, they weren't quite good enough today. But they were darn close.-Two good young pitchers started, Maholm and Kershaw, and neither got a decision (meaning Paul will have just one more shot at a 10th win), although both pitched quite well. The score   more...

Disaster in South Philly  

I have to be honest. The Phillies have finally left me speechless. I really don't want to sound like one of those stereotypical "Negadelphians", but after watching last light's loss to the Pirates, the taste in my mouth from Thursday's loss to the Marlins has intenstified.Despite a superb   more...

TJ Beam relieved and got the win, thanks to 6 Pirate runs in the first two innings.   more...

Home Runs, Grand Slams, Two-Out Lightning, 8-Run-Innings...

It all helps. Tonight's game was a crazy one.-(Deep Breath)-The Bucs scored in the first after a Nyjer hustle double. They tacked on another in the 3rd (both runs via Doumit RBI singles). The Dodgers scored 4 off Duke in the 4th, two of them thanks to a 2-out walk to the pitcher. Adam LaRoche hit a   more...

Wake Up Pittsburgh!  

The fat sleepy bear has since begun to stir this past week in preparation for pitchers and catchers reporting in 19 days with the minor league signing trio of Jaret Wright, Casey Fossum, and Hector Carrasco...now that's inspiring. Wright missed all of '07, the Rays let Fossum walk, and Carrasco had   more...

Pirates 2, Phillies 0

In a night that was filled with massive frustration and what seemed like an inevitable heartbreaking loss, the Pirates pulled out a 2-0 stunner in 12 innings at Citizens Bank Park on Friday night.--Paul Maholm was back to his usual self (of late)--the dominant one. 7 innings, 10 K's (which I   more...

Baseball is Not Important

The two biggest stories in Pirate-land today had nothing to do with our sport of choice, baseball. I'm not big on the touchy-feely stuff, but today the Pirates got emotional and put their lives in perspective, and we should do the same.---First, the good news. Doug Mientkiewicz, of course, left the   more...

Who Saw This One Coming?

For once, looking back on this Pirates game, it's very easy to say I could have predicted plenty of things that happened. Particularly the success of various pitchers (and of course, the outcome).-Reds starter Josh Fogg loaded the bases with no outs in the first inning. The Pirates got three. In   more...

The Pirates Didn't Lose Today

To celebrate their mathematical elimination, the Bucs had today off (it was also Labor Day, or something). There are a few minor notes to point out, though:---It's September 1st, meaning the Pirates can add anyone on the 40-man roster to the ballclub for the rest of the year. No announcements have   more...
