Life after Littlefield: Possibly the worst weekend of the season

Life after Littlefield: Possibly the worst weekend of the season

September 23, 2012

I went home for the weekend and was away from my computer for a couple days, so I’m going to do my best to make sense of this atrocious weekend of Pirates baseball. After being swept by the Brewers and allowing them to creep back into the playoff race, the Pirates went to...

And It Feels Like I Am Just too Close to Love You: Week 3 NFL Picks

And It Feels Like I Am Just too Close to Love You: Week 3 NFL Picks

Daniel Kitchen, NFL Staff Writer
September 23, 2012

I have to start this post off with an apology. I have been pretty  really sick lately, and had the wondeful fortune of waking up sporadically throughout the night and sleeping poorly. So imagine my surprise when, instead of waking up with my alarm at the intended 9:30, I wake...

Life after Littlefield: That should close the book on all the playoffs talk

It seems like every blog I post starts with something about the Pirates doing the exact opposite of what they should do if they want to get in to the playoffs.  Why should this one be any different?  Losing the first two games of this series to the Brewers pretty much knocks...

I’m No Superman: Fantasy Football Picks

Daniel Kitchen, NFL staff writer
September 20, 2012

To explain my title that strangely enough has absolutely nothing to do with my subject matter, I think a quick background message is required. I've been doing picks and projections (mainly on my Facebook page) for a year now, and fell into the habit of naming them after whatever...

After the game finally started at 11:42 p.m. last night after a 3 hour and 37 minute rain delay, the Pirates were able to split the series with the Cubs with a 3-0 victory in a game that could possibly set the tone for this series starting tonight against the Brewers at 7:05...

The 7-6 win on Saturday was a huge victory for the Pirates, but it was really all for not as the Pirates’ bullpen blew another lead on Sunday in the 13-9 loss.   Another good start from Wandy, who has pitched extremely well in his last 5 starts, and finally somewhat of an...

Every loss from here on out really hurts the Pirates, primarily because there are less than three weeks left in the season and the Pirates still have a slight chance of making the playoffs.  Yesterday’s 7-4 loss to the Cubs hurts even more than most because the Pirates lost...

It’s hard to visit the Class of 2016 Facebook page, or even hear a conversation without the mention of Homecoming. This is with good reason though, as it is quickly approaching and is one of the most fun weekends here at RMU! This year’s festivities will be held Sept. 28...

This is it.  The Pirates have 20 games in 20 days starting this afternoon at 2:20 p.m. in Chicago against the Cubs.  If there is any chance of the Pirates saving this season it begins today with James McDonald taking the hill and pitching the way he did the first half of the...
