I’ve posted this piece in the past 2 NHL playoffs, and we’ve gotten to the Stanley Cup Finals both years. It sums up how it feels to be a displaced fan in a city that isn’t your own, and how hockey brings everyone together. I’m not going to publish the whole thing this time around, […]

Congrats to the Pittsburgh Mighty Penguins Intermediate Sled Hockey team, who over the weekend finished 2nd in their division in the 6th Annual USA Hockey Disabled Festival. The NHL Pens just finished their season second in the division as well…I’m sensing a trend. After, the Mighty Penguins took a cool picture with the Stanley Cup, […]

Actress Kate Mara is hot, even though I don’t know off the top of my head anything that she’s been in. And despite her good looks, she doesn’t have the stones to pick a favorite NFL team between the Giants and Steelers, as her extended family owns both. Her response: “If I’m in front of […]

From CNN. Some stupid kid smashed an iPad on Youtube, and his boy in a Pirates hat was geeked to get on video.

The Buccos improved to 2-0 with a walk-off extra-innings single last night, but from the look of it, you’d never know. I can apologize for the horrible quality of the screengrab, as you gotta find shady online feeds that the MLB have yet to take down if you’re a Pirates fan in NYC. I cannot, […]

Thanks to a mix of Steve and Penshead for this. The shirt is Steve’s, and Penshead took the pic. Steve wore it last night to Foley’s our always-awesome Pens bar in NYC. Sure, the Pens lost to the Capitals, but Sid knew Steve was wearing the shirt and scored his career-best 48th goal of the […]

In yesterday’s season-opening 11-5 win over LA, the Pirates’ Garrett Jones homered in his first two at-bats. I mentioned to my friend Matt that the first one was huge, since he was a guy that hit like a million of them in a relatively few games after getting called up last year. As a guy […]

Earlier, we looked at some videos from the scoreboard at PNC Park. And now, we highlight the greatest screengrab of all time. Are you seeing the Pirate and the Parrot? They are way too interested in that anthropomorphic hot dog and hot dog cannon. And right before this picture, the hot dog bun and meat […]

Remember the Awful Pirates? Sure, it hurts to think that they were actually on-field representatives of baseball in Pittsburgh, but it sure was fun to sit back and insult the memories of them. Well, there’s at least one person who has cleverly forgotten those terrible, terrible Buccos. Yesterday, a user profile called PiratesScoreboard popped up […]

Thanks to my boy

Fantastic grab by

I never got into the whole card game phase. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll destroy you at Pinochle or Euchre, but I’m talking about those silly fantasy card games. Magic: The Gathering was big when I was younger, and I still don’t understand the concept to this day. My friend Drew was playing a new […]
