The Orioles lost 3-1 to the Nationals yesterday in Fort Lauderdale; however, Koji Uehara looked good -- real good. The Japanense hurler, coming back from a strained hamstring, did give up a run, but struck out seven out of the eleven hitters he faced. His counterpart on the mound for...

Sad news today, as long-time Pirates and Penguins organist Vince Lascheid has at the age of 85. Everyone that's been to a Pirate game has spent some sitting in the stands, trying to decipher just what Lascheid's had in mind with the jingles he used to choose for opposing players...

I really like Nicolas' idea to do a sort of Pirates' "Futures Game." I'm pretty sure the team used to do something like this in the 90s, but

After failing to acquire Rocco Baldelli, it seems like [the Pirates may turn to Steve Pearce for outfield depth]. I?ve never been a huge fan of Pearce, but he does deserve a chance and should certainly make the club as the fourth outfielder should we not acquire any FA outfielders. In fact, he ...
