We're fighting scattered thunderstorms at Kennywood and one picked up when we were about to get on the Jackrabbit. Me and my brother got the front seat, and the heavens decided to open up. Ain't nothing like the Jackrabbit in a t-storm. That was about 2 hours ago. I'm still soaked. It was so humid […]

The Steel Phantom rules. And no, I don't call it The Phantom's Revenge. It'll always be the Steel Phantom. And I got to cut in front of like a hundred people for no good reason. All the way to the front car. Something about people wanting to ride at the same time, so they needed […]

Will he or won’t he? Will he or won’t he? That’s been the question regarding D Alex Goligoski’s final year of eligibility at the University of Minnesota. He will… …Skip his final year as a Golden Gopher to join the Pens organization. Goligoski has been tagged as the second best Pens defensive prospect behind Kris […]

So this is the real reason I opened the PSaMP MySpace page. I needed to signup if I wanted to post videos from MySpace directly to PSaMP. I don’t do the whole MySpace thing, but these videos were only available on MySpace. My dilemma, signup or don’t post these amazing videos. This chronicles the greatness […]

I don’t subscribe to the whole MySpace culture. I used to have a personal MySpace page before the thing blew up and got huge. But that’s neither here nor there. PSaMP has opened its official MySpace page, available by following this link. Its the weakest MySpace page you’ll ever see. Honestly. I’ve “friended” a crazy […]

Rejoice, Pens fans! Sid’s not going anywhere! Crosby inked a 5 year/$45 mil deal to stay with the Pens. With collective bargaining, Crosby was able to demand up to $10.06 mil a year, but settled for a cool $9 mil a year. It’ll give Shero a little wiggle room to help re-sign guys like Geno, […]

Sure, we all know them. The 1997 Freak Show Pirates. Despite a record below .500, the team, aided by a weak division, still contended for the division title into September. I woke up this morning, and apparently, the Post-Gazette is unwilling to let these memories go. Sure, they might be the closest thing we’ve had […]

Jose Bautista is currently rockin’ the perfectly-trimmed ADD Laroche beard (Swell pic of the ADD beard here). ADD has been swinging a hot bat, recently blasting 3 homers in 2 games and raising his batting average to a more-respectable .237. I guess Jose thinks the power is in the beard. The Buccos are up 3-2 […]

PSaMP, your official unofficial Passion blogger, has already told you the score. Now its time for the details. The 49-15 win over the Cleveland Fusion came on Torina Henley‘s 36th birthday. What a way to celebrate! One-Two scored twice, and was helped on the rushing attack by Lyndsi Hughes (above) and backup Jenine Suprano. Lisa […]

Your Pittsburgh Passion defeated the Cleveland Fusion 49 to 15 to advance to the 2007 World Championship Game! It was the team’s third win over their rival from Cleveland this season. The Championship game will be held in Nashville on July 21st. The Passion will take on (beat) the Columbus Comets. PSaMP, your official unofficial […]

…Must go to the individual who really hates Dave Littlefield. Here’s the Other results, so far, on the What’s Dave Littlefield’s Legacy? poll. – DOUCHEBAG… in caps and in bold font– did i mention he’s a douche?– HUGE DOUCHEBAG– douchebag– Nutting’s personal prostitute– DOUCHEBAG– DOUCHEBAG– douchebag– douchebag– douchebag– douchebag– douchebag Consensus says…Littlefield is a douche. […]

Keep voting on what you feel Pirates GM Dave Littlefield’s legacy is. I was nearly crying at the response(s) in the reader-created Other section. You can’t see it, but I can. If you keep up the good/funny work, I might get around to posting some of the results from the Other section. But you need […]

This was the week of the 4th of July, so its only right that the VotW comes from…France. Those crazy Frenchmen and their crafty…googling. Now people over in surrender-land know that PSaMP didn’t surrender in its first-round HBB matchup, and defeated Suss from Futon Report. I was more surprised at the combination of words that […]

Sad news in the Pittsburgh sports blogosphere, as Bucco Blog is shutting down after 19 months. Oddly enough, the author is being very cryptic as to the reasons for his departure. Something about making false claims, and disrupting a member of the Pirates organization’s livelihood. In my case I stated the individual performed a task […]

After re-signing center Maxime Talbot to what appears to be a two-year deal, the Pens agreed to terms with forward Erik Christensen, successfully avoiding arbitration with two restricted free agent priorities. Christensen’s faux-hawk, a promising young forward, reached a deal that is worth $750k for each of the two years. He tied the league lead […]
