Tracy wins, bloviates, still intrigued
“What we’re talking about this afternoon, it’s probably as flattering an experience as I’ve come to realize during the course of my professional career in athletics,” Tracy said. “And obviously a new contract is extremely exciting. But what is more intriguing for me is what is still out there for our ballclub.”

NFL week 10: Bengals at Steelers
Steelers down 6-3 in the first. Not much tackling on special teams so far.

Dock Ellis movie
Dock Ellis & the LSD No-No by James Blagden.
He even worked in the green weenie. Bravo.

NFL week 9: Steelers at Broncos
Should be a tough spot for the Steelers.
I am curious to see if they will make tackles on special teams. Also wondering if Mendenhall can protect the ball.

Iwamura
Jesse Chavez and his Upside traded to the Rays for playoff-minded Akinori Iwamura. Dejan breaks down some of the fallout. Still not clear if Gerut's expensive knee brace can be recycled.

NFL week 8: Steelers on bye
Some pretty good games this week.

NFL week 7: Vikings at Steelers
Should be a good one on Sunday.
That last comment thread got so big, I thought maybe we should start the new one early.

NFL Week 6: Browns at Steelers
That was not a pretty win. Steelers appear to have all kinds of problems.

Respect the Towel
Sean Leahy notes for the USA Today that the Titans have not won since the infamous descration.
In other news, Aaron Smith to the IR looks like a wise decision to me. Get well Aaron.

NFL week 5: Steelers at Lions
Did you guys know Jerome Bettis is from Detroit?

Withdrawal symptoms
Please describe what weirdness, if any, you feel in this week without baseball, 2009 Pirates-style.

NFL week 4: Chargers at Steelers
Just kicked off. Mendenhall gets the start.
Game 162: Pirates at Reds
Karstens and Bailey at 1.
Saturday, October 03, 2009
Game 161: Pirates at Reds
Duke and Cueto at seven.
Friday, October 02, 2009
Game 160: Pirates at Reds
Pirates need a win to avoid the 100-loss season.
Tonight at seven it is McCutchen and Lehr.
Thursday, October 01, 2009
Game 159: Pirates at Cubs
Pirates up 3-0. If my math is trusty, a win today would clinch a no-100-loss season.
Wednesday, September 30, 2009
Games 157 and 158: Pirates at Cubs
Creature double feature. Games at 2 and 8.
Tuesday, September 29, 2009
Game 156: Pirates at Cubs
Former Cubbie Hart will start for the Pirates at eight.
Monday, September 28, 2009
Game 155: Dodgers at Pirates
Final home game of the year. The Dodgers will try again to clinch their division with a win today.
Spike said it best: "Not in our empty house!"
Kuroda and Duke at twelve-thirty.

NFL week 3: Steeler at Bengals
At Cincinnati.
Game 154: Dodgers at Pirates
Kickoff at 12:30.
Saturday, September 26, 2009
Game 153: Dodgers at Pirates
Maholm and Wolf at seven. After receiving the biggest and shiniest bunting ribbon, the International Bunting Champion gets to sing back-up vocals on a Foreigner set - in their native language! ジュークボックスの英雄!
Friday, September 25, 2009
Game 152: Dodgers at Pirates
Garland and Karstens at seven. To protect the integrity of the travesty and to capitalize on G-20, the Bucs should just start billing the games not as baseball contests, but as stunts such as "The International Bunting Olympics". They could bring up and field a team of Rinku, Dinesh, Gift, Starling, Yoslan, the New Zealander, the North Pole kid, and that Easter Island guy. A resigned Kuwata could pitch. Everybody bunts, whoever gets on base the most wins. In the short term, the Bucs could really benefit by acquiring a market of people who didn't understand the real rules of this game of baseball.
