What? Penguins news! Its been awhile, but PSaMP felt it was time to finally move past the disheartening playoff loss to the Senators, and give an update on your Pittsburgh Penguins. Plus, I wanted an excuse to post this badass Pens’ logo from the ’68 season. Its simplicity makes it a PSaMP favorite. Much better […]

How can a 7-2 win spell the end for a game’s starting pitcher? Well, if your name is Tony Armas Jr., you only pitch 3 innings (again) and the guy who relieves you pitches well above your stats, then demotion might just be in the works. Ronny Paulino came through with 3 RBIs against the […]

The Bucs and Fins are tied at 1. ADD Laroche hit his 4th homer of the year. Most likely because he made my Reasons to Keep Watching the Bucs This Season updated list. Or not. I’m just glad he hit one. No matter what, here are some sick reads from all around the blogosphere that […]

Paul Maholm, who has little chance of making this list, decided to suck again, giving up 3 homers to the Florida “Just Recently Got Swept By The Nats” Marlins. The Marlins won, 9-3, and I’d rather focus on positives rather than negatives. With a season record of 17-21, I figured it was time to update […]

The Northern Division is beginning to get competitive, but your Pittsburgh Passion are clearly the team to beat. With an overpowering 53-7 win over the Philadelphia Phoenix on Saturday, the Passion now sit at an undefeated 4-0. Erie and Cleveland are both 3-1, but both teams’ quest for perfection were marred by the unstoppable Passion. […]

Real quick, I wanted to give a shout out to the University of Delaware men's lacrosse team, who beat UVA 14-8 in the Division 1 men's tourney. I'm currently in the state of Delaware, and in true homer fashion, I've decided to give credit where credit is due. Pittsburgh isn't really known for lax (unless […]

Sorry about going all Rockapella on you, but I figured I'd touch base about PSaMP's notable absense. Don't worry, PSaMP's self-induced leave will be over soon, and you, the reader, can go back to not reading my stuff. I feel kinda bad, depriving you of your daily mini pony fix, but I really needed some […]

Yeah, PSaMP is hurting for new posts. My sisters flew in from New York City for my college graduation, and I’m spending some time with them. Today was Baccalaureate, and tomorrow is my actual graduation from St. Vincent College (Steelers’ training camp, baby!). I apologize for the complete disregard for new posts, seeing as how […]

The Steelers signed RB Kevan Barlow. His most notable success came as a member of the 49ers. Last season, Barlow was used sparingly in New York as a member of the Jets. He also called Mike Nolan, Hitler. Barlow is a local kid, having played college ball at Pitt. Kevan’s signing suddenly makes Verron Haynes […]

Although they have already won a game in 16 innings this season, the Bucs were out to prove that winning long games is no fluke. Jack Wilson admitted that the game was the worst in his career, but his bat atoned for a throwing error in last night’s 4-3 win over the Cubbies. The game […]

After I posted my feelings on the Matt Capps suspension, I received several emails complaining about my reasoning. Here is one email that I would like to share, complete with my rebuttal. The email came from a reader by the name of Brady Quinn.* You need to look at the tape again. Prince Fielder was […]

This past weekend (Sorry that this is a little late. I’m consumed in finals week), your Pittsburgh Passion absolutely man-handled (woman-handled?) the Central PA Vipers, 52-0. Wilma Walton (above) led the game off for the Passion with a 49 yard touchdown, which was way too much for the Vipes to handle. Walton is 5th in […]

So this caught my eye at McDonalds. Apparently, the company isn’t big enough, so its banking on the popularity of another fad to “boost” sales. This picture was on a child’s booster seat tabletop at the restaurant. The image is of childish-looking, anthropomorphic food items. The picture looked awfully familiar… Great job ripping off Aqua […]

Reliever Matt Capps was suspended 4 games for his actions against the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday. Capps plunked Prince Fielder on the elbow, and was immediately ejected by home plate umpire Alfonso Marquez. Jim Tracy was not happy at the time. Neither was Capps. Sure, Capps had just given up a homer to J.J. Hardy, […]
