Well... not like he was on any Pirate front office radars anyway. I seemed to be the only one interested in him. You can read the developing story on MLB's website. I will catch up with the remaining three pieces on my Opening Day Predictions tomorrow. I have been busier than expected this wee...

Wow, what a game. I don't think you could of asked for much more in that game if you were a Steeler fan. Maybe you would of liked to see Willie Parker bust for a big run, but other than that this game had it all. James Harrison busted out 100-yard INT return for TD to end the first half. Larr...

As everyone is well aware, today belongs solely to the Pittsburgh Steelers, as they try to become the first NFL franchise to reach six Super Bowl wins. If... When they come away with the victory, Mike Tomlin will also become the youngest coach to win the big game. Twenty of the Steelers playe...

With every passing day, the MLB season is quickly crawling back up on us. The off-season is slowly coming to a close, even though there are a surprisingly large number of free-agents still available.

Today has definitely been one of the bigger days for the Pirates this off-season. They were able to ink not only Paul Maholm to a 3-year extension, but now also ink Eric Hinske. A little after 5:00 PM it was reported that the Pirates and Eric Hinske have come to terms on a one-year deal. The contrac...
