Pittsburgh Pirates: 2012 Season Preview
Posted on 26 Mar 2012 by Drew Karpen.
Last year, the city of Pittsburgh got a glimpse of what meaningful baseball feels like in the second half of the season, for the first time in nearly two decades. The Pirates finished the first half of the season, with their eyes set on the NL Central title. All the players were never in this position before, and the youth was a main contributor to the downfall. With the 2012 season less than t...

Baseball’s Midseason Awards

It seems like just yesterday I was typing up my preseason predictions for the upcoming baseball season. It's hard to believe that we are already at the halfway point. Who says that the baseball season is too long? As per usual with baseball, this season is full of unpredictability and surprises. We've seen two no-hitters within one week to make this the year of the pitcher 2.0, a home ...

Pirates: Has Neal Huntington Overstayed His Welcome?
Posted on 19 May 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
When evaluating a trade in baseball, there needs to be a waiting period of about three years before deciding which team got the better deal. In the case of the Pirates trading Jose Bautista to the Toronto Blue Jays, I think it's fair to say which team got the better deal. On August 21, 2008, Bautista was traded from the Pirates to the Blue Jays for a player to be named later, which ended up...

Pirates Set For Seven Game Road Swing
Posted on 13 May 2011 by Justin Welton.
For the first time since 2005, the Pittsburgh Pirates were .500 on Mother’s Day. This feeling didn’t last long, unfortunately. The Pirates dropped two-of-three from the Los Angeles Dodgers at PNC Park. The final game was postponed due to rain on Thursday. Possibly a bigger story than the Pirates reaching .500 was the fact that star centerfielder Andrew McCutchen didn’t run after being str...

Pittsburgh, the City of Champions, as we Pittsburgh sports fans like to call it. The Steelers and their six 6 Super Bowl trophies. The Penguins and their three Stanley Cup wins.

Pirates Preview
Posted on 23 Mar 2011 by Justin Welton.
The only place the Pittsburgh Pirates can go is up if you think about it. 57-105 was the Pirates record last season which was the worst in Major League Baseball. How could they not improve on that this season? Clint Hurdle is taking over for John Russell as Pirates manager. People say that a team will reflect the personality of the coach and that is what happened during the Russell era. He is s...

SCORING WITH 2 OUTS WAS ENOUGH FOR THE PHILS TO DUMP THE ROCKS 8-4 SATURDAY NIGHT AT COORS FIELD
Posted on 12 Apr 2009 by Denni Secline.
All the side streets in LoDo just a few blocks from the ballpark provide 2 hour metered parking spots. A quarter will get you 15 minutes and if you have 8 you can stretch your stay to two hours. Clint Hurdle decided to park on the street today and fumbled with the pile of change in his pocket only to pull out 6 nickels. The way the season has been going so far it looked like it would be enough ...

Posted on 11 Apr 2009 by Denni Secline.
50,925 FANS LEAVE COORS FIELD IN A GOOD MOOD When I stopped by my office just 6 blocks from Coors Field this morning about 9AM it was cold and overcast. It hardly looked like a day when the 2-1 Rockies would be holding their home opener – was this February or was it really 2 days before Easter? Police and parking lot attendants were already starting to block off streets around the park ...
