If We Ruled The World 2008-07-22 21:01:11 I love it when people talk like this, however, I think we would do a great job running the Steelers. I think there would need to be something that says that the majority owners or such would have to be residents of Pittsburgh. I can see us getting screwed by a New England area owner. Setting us up. I can see how Green Bay does it though, they are the only team in the tri-state area. If we tried it Read more:World
How About That 9th! 2008-07-22 13:57:58 I haven't had much to say about our Buccos the last couple weeks, but I loved that inning! Sanchez, battling back from injury to hit a 3-run inside the park HR. LaRoche and Bay both hit homers in the 9th as well. The main thing I want everyone to take away from this game is that we are showing the ability to come back with big hits. I think we should keep the whole outfield and infield together an

Long Layoff, But I Am Still Here! 2008-07-20 22:29:39 Sorry about such a long layoff. It will all be over soon. Got my check and wil be getting the new computer soon. I am looking forward to getting back on the horse. I have been watching alot of sports and am getting excited about the Penguins offseason as well as the currently almost competetive Pirates and the to be tough and character building season for the Steelers.I like all the talks with the
I Love It! I Hate It! 2008-07-20 22:29:24 Well, I am going to start off positive. I liked the draft. Late picks with some potential. I am glad that we didn't make any irrational trades for some higher picks because, well, to be frank, we can't afford another high profile pick. One more positive point. Evgeni Malkin. He is proving he want to be a Pittsburgher more and more each day. First, making it clear that he wants to stay here in Pitt
Moving..... 2008-07-20 22:28:50 Well, I figured it was about time to tell you a little about myself. I was born in Spokane, WA in the distant year of 1979. I come from a small town in PA originally... Jeannette. After graduation I moved with my family to Kittanning. Well, there was not much happening there and I was the idiot trying to make it without any college. Well, I failed at that and enrolled in school at ITT Tech in Monr Read more:Moving
Just a question... 2008-07-20 22:28:50 So, just a quick note here... I am building a web page just for myself and my wife, suited for the rest of the Murphy clan to be able to keep up with what we are up to. What all do you think I should put on it?If you have anything to add, email us at everythingpittsburgh@gmail.com
What do you think? 2008-07-20 22:28:50 I have been trying my best to update everything on this page so I can get more traffic. The funny thing about it is the fact that I will make no profit from it. So, why do I do it then? Because it is something to do and I get to voice my opinion about anything I want and noone can say anything about it. I like that fact. I also like the fact that I almost have a one stop shop now. I believe if you Read more:think
Overall 2008-07-20 22:28:37 Well, we lost Hossa (sorta), Malone, Roberts, Hall, Laraque, Ruutu, and Conklin. We gained Satan, Fedotenko, Cooke, Pesonen, and Godard. Overall

Steelers! 2008-07-20 22:28:31 I am getting the fever already. I looked at our schedule. It is incredible. We officially have the toughest schedule in the league this season.

Penguins extend Therrien's contract 2008-07-20 22:28:19 So, we have officially made, unless he gets fired, Michel Therrien the longest-tenured coach in Penguins
history. Amazing, isn't it? I couldn't believe it, but here it is:The Pittsburgh Penguins have agreed to terms with head coach Michel Therrien on a new three-year contract

New Schedule Is Out! 2008-07-20 22:28:19 Finally, the schedule is out with the new layout. I like the way they fixed it. This season will display three home and three away in each teams own division. The schedule will have four games each against every other team in its own conference. It also consists at least one game from each team in the opposite conference. The teams will also play three teams in the opposite conference one other ti Read more:Schedule
Mike Lange 2008-07-17 00:14:17 You have to listen to this!Our favorite Mike Lange!To: Penguins Fans We feel that FOX Sports Net made a terrible move in firing long time Pittsburgh Penguins announcer Mike Lange. Mike is one of the most talented announcers in the history of NHL hockey. Nobody but can match the energy that Mike Lange brings to the Penguins broadcasts. We feel that this firing should be reversed. This is a HUGE l
McLouth Makes Me Proud! 2008-07-16 23:52:29 All-Star Highlights...That throw made every Pirates fan proud. That, along with his hitting made me smile. Hopefully his performance will start turning around this team. I mean, he showed the league that there is some quality in our organization.I am not looking forward to losing any of our current stars as loaners though. I know it is unlikely, but I would love to hold onto Nady, Bay, and Wilson. Read more:Proud
Keys To Beating The Red Wings 2008-05-22 20:31:24 The 4th and Final Installment of the Playoffs. Pretty kick ass to be able to say that.I've been taking some time with this one because the Red Wings
are a much different type of matchup than what the Pens have gotten so far in the playoffs. The Red Wings have speed, they can pass the puck extremely well. Their transition game is excellent. They play their system about as good as any team in the le
Bring On Detroit! 2008-05-20 21:54:02 My views on the Stanley Cup Finals...I believe that one aspect of our game will wear the Redwings down severely is our size. Every opponent that the Redwings have faced have been ranked in the bottom 7 of the NHL.Every opponent that the Pens have faced are in the top 19 of the league with Ottawa and NYR ranked 6th and 11th respectively. We are ranked 5th. I think this in combination with our speed Read more:Detroit
Buccos Beat The Cubbies! 2008-05-19 13:52:14 McLouth ends Bucs' slide vs. Cubs Center fielder drills two-run homer in the ninth inning By Jenifer Langosch / MLB.comCHICAGO -- For the first time in eight games against the Cubs this season, the Pirates were finally the ones who got to shake hands on the field afterward. A back-and-forth afternoon ended in the Pirates' favor, as the Bucs snapped a 10-game overall losing streak to the Cubs with
Once Again, The Gods Take Over! 2008-05-19 13:42:55 The Bucs came out flying, but in the end could not hold that lead losing 4-3. It is looking more and more like the Pirates are not meant to ever eclipse the .500 mark. We are 21-23. I do have to say that this does somehow give me hope. The Bucs are almost closer than usual to having a winning record. If we could just go the rest of the season without playing the Cubs. I think we could turn this ar Read more:Again

A Word About Therrien 2008-05-19 13:42:28 Many people I know ( myself included) have been quick to criticize Michel Therrien this season, mostly about line changes and seemingly endless combinations of players, regardless of how things turned out.At this point, I believe it's time to give credit where credit is due. Due to injuries to key players and acquisition of others, Therrien had no choice but to fiddle with the lines. The problem c
The Penguins Are In! 2008-05-19 13:19:21 Found this on Pens Blog !You have to listen to this!Our favorite Mike Lange!Well, I needn't say much here, but a 6-0 win is a statement. Everyone contributed. We played practically perfect on both ends of the ice. Fleury was brilliant in making some big saves towards the end to bury any hope of a Flyer comeback. We looked incredible and had all four lines rolling. We smothered them with potent def Read more:Penguins
Time for the Knockout Blow! 2008-05-18 23:19:57 It is time for the Pens to put the nail in the coffin. We need to show the league that we are ready for the Stanley Cup Finals. We need to show that we are capable of doing what we set out to do. We need to show that are offense is what we all have seen and our defense is as solid as they have displayed in the playoffs. We need to show the Red Wings that they have something to fear when we get the
Dallas Makes It Interesting 2008-05-18 23:19:57 For the second game in a row, and the first time in Detroit this series, Dallas
wins to survive another day. Dallas is trying to do what only two other teams in NHL history has completed. A comeback from three games to none. Also, for the second game in a row, the Stars held the Redwings to just one goal. It will be really interesting if Dallas can pull off a surprise in game 6 as well.We Will See

Band of the Week Version 2! 2008-08-05 00:06:20 So, I decided to start a bi-monthly blog all about what I will call my favorite band of the week. This weeks band is called Chiodos. You can click on the band name for a full bio, but as for this blog, I will give you the quick down and dirty. There are six members to this band, all out of Flint, Michigan. They all met in high school as well. As stated from The Gauntlet.com, "Sometimes driving di

Baseball Anyone? 2008-08-04 23:30:50 I think that the owners and general managers of the Steelers and the Penguins need to have a sit down with the owners and general manager of the Pirates to discuss how they made their respective franchises so desirable for players, good players, to want to play for their teams. I think this might go a long way in turning this Pirates organization around. I think it will take alot of patience on th Read more:Anyone
