Os Pirates são uma equipa chata de apostar quer a favor quer contra uma vez que de um momento para o outro são capazes de marcar n runs ou de se enterrar irremediavelmente … Hoje tenho razões para achar que eles vão enterrar e mesmo que não enterrem, não devem ter a oportunidade de marcar muitos [...]

No buildup here...just what I think is probably the best compilation of Pittsburgh sports that I've ever seen on YouTube. There's Penguins, Pirates, and Steelers, from Sidney to Franco to Clemente and many in-between. There's amazing goals, incredible TDs, and big hits. Watch it and I guarantee that the memories will come flooding back.[Thanks to reader Dave for the tip]

Monday night was the season premiere of NBC's American Gladiators, and it featured one of our own: Pittsburgh area native John Siciliano.But Siciliano is no average Gladiator.

ESPN.com just compiled a list of six of the greatest matchups involving Pittsburgh and Philadelphia spanning all sports, and I can honestly say that I vividly remember five of them, actually attending one of them. The only one I can't recall was played in 1978, and unfortunately, I have no memory of any Pirate games that season since I happened to be one year old at the time. And I guess the two cities didn't have any other memorable matchups before '78, because that's as far back as this list goes. What do you think? What gets your vote as the greatest Pittsburgh-Philly game of all time in any sport? Would it happen to involve this man? And one last question for the old timers out there: what memorable pre-'78 games are young whippersnappers such as myself unaware of? Pittsburgh vs. Phi

New York went 5-3 against their division rivals during the regular season, including a 4-0 win at home in March. However after two games in this best of seven series its evident that is a misleading stat. The Rangers have lost games 1 and 2 by a tight margin. Game 1 they lost 5-4 and [...]

TONY HILLSOT - TEXASHeight: 6-6 Weight: 305 40-Time: 5.30College Coach: Mack BrownIn the fourth round, the Steelers went back to the Texas Longhorn well, selecting offensive tackle Tony Hills. He's big, he's a proven commodity, and he's been part of some great teams. He also comes with a lengthy resume of injuries. And despite my implications, he is not connected with my beloved, defunct Hills Department Stores.Notes on Hills:--Started the first 11 games in 2007 and missed the final two due to a fibula fracture in his left leg--Converted from tight end, his high school position, to O-line while at UT--2007 Walter Camp First-Team All-American--2006 ESPN/Mark May "All-MayDay Team"--A member of the Vince Young-led 2005 Texas National Championship team--Granted a medical hardship in 2003 at T

Pretty tough to watch the Penguins-Rangers game today. The outcome was mostly decided by a blown call by the officials, as I believe it was Petr Sykora who was holding Drury's stick against his side making it look like Drury was hooking him. Off goes Drury for 2:00 and bango, the Penguins score a beauty power play goal. That made it 1-0 in an air-tight defensive game where it could have gone either way. Sickening.The Rangers' non-goal because of the refs whistling the play dead was a fair call in my opinion. They had lost sight of the puck. Fair enough.But I just can't stand that a blown call decides the game. Mostly, I wish the NHL would ease off on the stick obstruction rule, because guys are going to pull a Sykora and get away with it. I've seen it happen before. But now it's the playof

Duas equipas que se conhecem muito bem pois pertencem à mesma divisão (Atlântico) encontram-se pela 9ª vez esta época. Nos jogos anteriores a vantagem é da equipa dos Rangers por 5-3.

Jose Batista singled in the go-ahead run in a three-run eighth inning as the Pirates rallied for a 7-4 win over the Cardinals at PNC Park. Doug Mientkiewicz added a two-run single for insurance as Pittsburgh won its second straight after a six-game slide. Jason Bay hit a two-run homer and Freddy Sanchez had two hits and scored twice for the Bucs, who overcame a 4-0 first-inning deficit. Damaso Marte earned the win in relief and Matt Capps closed it out for his sixth save. Anthony Reyes gave up all three runs in the eighth to take the loss for St. Louis, which has lost four of its last five games. Troy Glaus had a two-run double and Adam Kennedy a two-run single for the Redbirds.

Hanley Ramirez and Josh Willingham both clubbed two-run homers to power the Marlins to a 10-4 victory over the Pirates at Dolphin Stadium. Dan Uggla hit a solo shot for the Fish, who pounded out 16 hits en route to their third consecutive victory. Mark Hendrickson allowed eight hits and four runs, but just three earned, over eight innings to move to 4-and-1 with the win. Hendrickson also got the job done at the dish, going 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored. Xavier Nady doubled and drove in two for Pittsburgh, which has dropped six in-a-row. Matt Morris took the loss, giving up eight runs in just four innings to fall to 0-and-3.

Well, today was another glorious day in the town of Pittsburgh.Here is me waking and greeting the world EARLY on a Saturday!

Well...I naturally underestimated the time I'd need to get from my apartment to Laguardia...but I made it. I was able to flee the city just in time for the pope to arrive.After getting home and chatting it up with the rents for an hour, we were all caught up and I was left with nothing to do.So I headed to the mall...which ate up a total of 20 minutes. No one was there except for old people trying to get exercise...so I left and just drove around for a while.Back home, I talked to Bridget on the phone for like 30 minutes. That was fun. We talked about my trip to visit her in Chicago next month. Holla. I can't wait.My grandma came over for dinner: a tasty treat of veggies and my family's special cheesy noodles dish.

To continue our mock draft, rotating the picks among the bloggers, the Pittsburgh Steelers are now on the clock with the 23rd pick in the draft. As a Patriots fan I never thought I'd utter these words, but: I miss...

Well, since I'm nearly a week behind in writing, here's my submission to this week's Illustration Friday. The topic was homage.It's pretty obvious what this is an homage to - I took the self-portrait this is based on at a photobooth in the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh five years ago...when I was between beards.This entry's title is an homage too - kudos to those who can identify this quote:"Well, when you're from Pittsburgh, you have to do something."

Want seafood or meats? Pop by Wholey's Market (pronounced Wooly's), and not only will you be spoiled for choice, but you'll get treated to some guy outside on the accordian playing, "The Chicken Dance."

Five players from the Pirates There are actually quite a few players I like from the Pirates. One of my tried and true pitching tactics is to go for good starters on bad teams and the Pirates are a perfect team from which to try this tactic.
