Paul Maholm, looking very un-Paul Maholm-like, blanked the Astros as the Bucs beat the Astros 3-0. Maholm allowed only 3 hits, earned his first career shutout, and lowered his ERA from slightly above 6 to slightly below 4. Ronny Paulino homered, most likely because I tagged him as a potential star earlier in the day. […]

Since the Pirates now have 7 wins on the season, I give you my 7 Reasons to Stick with the Buccos This Season: 1. Tom Gorzelanny. Wow! I never thought he would be reason number 1. The kid is on pace for 25-30 wins! How could you not get behind a young pitcher with a […]

This is a promotional flyer that was distributed throughout Pittsburgh during the past (awful) season of your Pittsburgh Xplosion! My recent post about the Passion (in which I briefly mentioned the Xplosion) reminded me that I had this picture somewhere deep within my phone’s photo archives (the picture is from this past November 18th). Needless […]

Go ahead and cheer, Pittsburgh fans. Your Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Dodgers yesterday, 7-5, in Los Angeles. No extra innings here. No walk off grannys. Just good, Pirates baseball. Chris Duffy had 3 hits, scored 3 runs and swiped a pair of bases, while ADD Laroche (I’ve quit calling him Adam) hit a solo shot. […]

In all fairness of this being a Pittsburgh Sportsblog, I like to occasionally update on some bizarre/non-popular sports happenings in the ‘Burgh. I’ve mentioned the Xplosion, Pittsburgh’s CBA team that is headlined by the one, the only, Kevin Pittsnogle. So with the NFL Draft only days away, football is starting to overwhelm my subconscious. With […]

So I thought I was done talking about the Pens, seeing as how their season is over. But the truth is, I’ll never be done talking about the Pens. Its moments like these when we find out how much we’ve taken for granted, and the level of effort that these professionals put into a “game.” […]

Allow me to shed one more tear for the completion of hockey season in Pittsburgh. Why? Because the raucous fans in Pittsburgh get to focus on the Pirates, and only the Pirates, until the NFL draft and the start of training camp. And in a 162 game season, the layoffs between hockey and football can […]

Pittsburgh’s season is over. Ray Emery shut out the Pens, 3-0. Rest in Peace, Larry Brown’s Playoff Beard. We hardly knew ye. Estimated time of death, 9:30 P.M. E.S.T. The series loss is unfortunate, but I’ll hold my head high and remember the good that has come out of the past season.

I’ve been struggling to write a piece on game 5 tonight, but its kinda hard today. After finding every possible way to lose in games 1, 3 and 4, its hard to find legitimate reasons to keep watching. Blowouts hurt, because early deficits lead to stuff getting thrown at the t.v. Close games hurt, because […]

So I’m not allowed to reveal my pick for Awful Announcing‘s Complete Sports Blogger’s NFL Mock Draft Version 1.0. I can, however, reveal that my pick has been made. Here are some of the reasons for my pick. With the 14th pick in the 2nd round, and 46th overall pick, the PittsburghSteelers and PSaMP select […]

I’m officially running out of negative adjectives to describe the 3 playoff losses so far. Yesterday’s game felt right. The team actually played the 2nd period, but was unable to use to the momentum swing to score more than one goal. Jordan Staal buried a shot right in front of Emery, but the Pens could […]

And the 100th post is about…the Pens. Come on, with game 4 tonight and the Pens looking at a 2-1 series deficit, what else could consume my attention? Also, since I’m graduating from college in a couple weeks, I need to get my mind off of the tragedy at Virgina Tech yesterday. Seriously, all prayers […]

Apparently my post counter isn’t correct, because although this post claims to be the 100th post by its count (59 March, 41 April), it is actually the 99th post. The real 100th post will be up shortly (you don’t care, but I already clarified it as a personal milestone).

PSaMP is upgraded! I think the new logo kicks ass, but that’s my personal opinion. It was done by my sister, who happens to be a whiz on photoshop (I am not, as evident by my ms paint manipulations). Keep a lookout for some quality posts by my sister (not the one who gave me […]
