Has anyone noticed the lower leg injury to rookie Ryan Mundy? The question comes from Anon on yesterday’s ill-excuse for a post. See, all anonymous commenters are not horribly misguided. The Trib took it serious, wondering if the injury was worse than originally thought. The Beaver County Times had a concerning little note, saying: [Mundy] […]

Don’t fret if I’m not around today. We’re coming back from training camp. Blogging is the last thing on my mind.

I have a question for you. Have you ever tried to look up sidneycrosby.com? Crosby87, supposedly the official website, has been “In Progress” for several years now. So I tried His name dot com to see what would appear (see how I did that? I capitalized “His” so I could compare Him to Christ). If […]

Yeah, you heard correctly. Me and Jeff Karstens are the same person. Karstens had a perfect game going last night through 7 2/3 innings before surrendering a two-out double in the 8th. We as fans have no idea what was going through Karstens’ head in the 7 full innings prior to the hit, and how […]

(picture credited to the Penguins) Happy 21st birthday, Sid. Your haters fail to realize just how young you are, and the ridiculous peaks you’ve already reached. I’m guessing Sid the Kid is no longer a nickname option? PSaMP wishes you the best, Sid. Next round of Jack or Crown Royal is on me.

http://youtube.com/watch?v= r86gv7Z99ik[/youtube] Even though I blog about sports, which pisses off a lot of MSMers to the point where they want accountability and, dare I say it, censorship, even I can admit when certain people shouldn’t have access to the Internet. Or air. Sidney Crosby gets a lot of heat, mostly because he’s the face […]

Where: Steelers Training Camp, St. Vincent College When: Sunday, August 10 Time: Practice starts at 2:55 P.M. As a Steelers fan who currently lives in New York City, I feel semi-disconnected from all I hold dear (Pittsburgh sports). Now, I moved in February, so it hasn’t been that long, but I’ve only been to the […]

Re-read my title for this post. And again. It cannot be stressed enough. Every training camp, the Steelers go for the early goal-line drill, hoping that someone will stand out as a versatile short-yardage back with substantial power. Since The Bus left, the drill seems to come up empty year in and year out. This […]

In light of the recent Jason Bay/Manny Ramirez/prospects trade, my good friend Texas Gal decided to hit up some Pittsburgh bloggers for their thoughts on Bay. It’s part of Jason Bay Day at Center Field. Yours truly participated, and had this to say: — What can I say about Jason Bay? A Pirate for parts […]

Jason Bay was just traded. To either: The Rays, or: The Red Sox. The Sox rumors seem to be stronger. The move would let the Dodgers acquire Manny Ramirez, with Pittsburgh somehow getting four prospects. UPDATE: The trade woke up the corpse of Deadspin-era Will Leitch. Bay to the Sox. I’m anxious to learn about […]

Awesome. This video, from MAF’s time in Wilkes-Barre during the NHL lockout season, shows what it’s like for an NHL (ok, AHL) goaltender. After finding this on Youtube, I noticed that Pensburgh had a stellar post about it yesterday. Eerie. Chest bumps go their way as well. The Kenny Loggins was a bit much, but […]

(h/t to Bleacher Report and Net News Ledger) Following the Happy Gilmore standard for getting people interested in golf, the Freedom 55 Financial Thunder Bay Hockey Celebrity Golf Classic, held this past weekend, used hockey players as a means of upping the cred of the tournament. My only question, why didn’t the tournament invite Chris […]

Macaws rule. What with training camp starting up, football fever is in the air. It’s entirely different from both hockey and baseball love lust. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll fight to the death to defend the Buccos and Penguins and my tireless support of both teams, but the Steelers evoke unique sets of emotions. So […]

I wanted to make a quick mention to send congratulations to former Pirate Rich Gossage, who was inducted into the HOF this past weekend. Buccos.com was the only info you’ll ever need about Goose’s one year in the Burgh: A fan favorite in Pittsburgh, “Goose” Gossage perhaps had his best MLB season his only year […]

There are a few posts from PSaMP’s past that can easily be re-used in different years while remaining true to current events. Last year, I posted the best places in and around Steelers training camp to poke your head into. I’ve reposted the list below, with a few edits to keep the info up to […]
