After getting win number 82 on September 9th, the Pirates finished off the sweep of the Rangers and took three of four from the Cubs before they dropped three of four to the San Diego Padres and two of three this weekend to the rival Reds.  All this resulted in the Pirates currently...

September 22, 2013

Now that we have had some time to digest the move and rashly yell all our opinions, let's take a good, long look at the Trent Richardson trade. NFL trades do not happen often; I thought my friend was preying upon my football obsession to garner a reaction when he told me in the...

NFL Picks, Week 3 Edition

September 22, 2013

A quicker edition than most of my weekly picks, but an informational one none the less. My record is now at 19-13, or in other words, good enough to be at least one game behind every ESPN expert. I do not recall ever being dead last, and I don't enjoy the feeling, so this week...

Every once and awhile during the NFL season, it's nice for everyone, not just the draft junkies, to pause and look to the future. Some teams have already sent their fans to the draft boards, scouring for a savior just two weeks into the season. For all of you rooting for teams...

NFL Picks: Week 2

September 15, 2013

First weeks are notoriously brutal on both my record of predictions & that of the experts I attempt to defeat each week. But, compared to last year's debacle, in which I missed several games by substantial margins, this week I posted a winning record, going 9-7. Despite how...

Fantasy Football Waiver Advice: Week 1

September 11, 2013

As per the usual, week one was full of surprises and disappointments that rendered even the most dedicated fantasy fan's draft strategy useless in two solid days. Peyton Manning made at least one owner a week cry for a solid six hours and another hug absolute strangers he/she...

Life After Littlefield: 82

September 10, 2013

It is difficult to decide how to start this post because last night’s 1-0 over the Rangers meant so much more than just another win in September to the Pirates’ organization and its’ fans.  With their 82nd win of the season last night, the Pirates clinched a winning season...

NFL Picks, Week 1

September 8, 2013

Hello everybody, it's time for the glorious season in fall where the wings are hotter, the take-out orders larger, and the members of your family you can not stand are at least tolerable (so long as they're wearing the correct colors). It's football time! Now each of the past...

After securing a .500 season last night with a 4-3 win over the Brewers, the Pirates have a chance tonight to make even more history as they go for win number 82.  Again, it would be the first time the feat will be done since 1992. Basically take all excitement and significance...
