With the Pittsburgh Pirates beginning their 2013 campaign tomorrow afternoon against the Chicago Cubs, I feel like this is a great time to start writing for this blog again.  After a long offseason, I’ll do my best to bring you up to speed on where the Pirates stand coming...

Perhaps one of the most consistent players from the 2012 season, Neil Walker has given Hurdle and Huntington a legitimate second baseman for the first time since I guess Freddy Sanchez.  While Sanchez didn’t blossom into the batting champion he was until later in his career,...

Before I review anymore of the Pirates’ 2012 season I wanted to apologize for the long break since my last post.  My first semester of college started to catch up to me.  However, lets get back to our beloved Buccos and continue the position-by-position recap with first base. ...

I’m going to start this post by saying that the Pirates have not had a “real” catcher since Jason Kendall was traded by the one and only, Dave Littlefield.  Since then, it has been a revolving door behind the plate, as the Pirates have had 17 different catchers play a...

Now that a few days have gone by and the Pirates are sitting on their couches watching the MLB postseason, as am I, it’s time to look back and examine what went right and what went wrong in the 2012 season in Pittsburgh.  But mainly what went wrong. I’ve been debating...

For the first time in almost a month the Pirates won back-to-back games with their 2-1 win yesterday and 5-1 victory today over the Atlanta Braves.  Yes, it is nice to see that Pirates remembered how to win baseball games.  However, if they would have been able to sprinkle...

I’m not exactly sure how to start this blog post because well I never thought I was going to have to blog about the Pirates losing 82 games this season, at least up until the beginning of this month.  Then the thought started to cross my mind.  But that is beside the point...

And that will do it for the 2012 Pittsburgh Pirates.  After their 6-0 loss last night to the Mets, they were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.  So at least one streak will continue, as the Pirates will miss out on the postseason for the 20th consecutive year. ...

While just about every story that focuses on the Pirates in the news of late has the word “collapse” somewhere in it, a word that hasn’t been used that often recently will be used in this one.  That word is victory.  Last night the Pirates took it to the Mets, as they...
