Game 2: Pirates at Cubs
Maholm and Zambrano starting soon.
It's a little early to get excited about magic like this, but it has not escaped our notice that Kevin Correia leads the league in BUNTing.

HW 2011 Readers' Poll
It's time. Please prognosticate in the comments.
1. How many Bucco wins?
2. Who gets traded first?
3. 2011 Whipping Boy?
4. Most bunts?
5. Other predictions?
I'll start:
1. Experts are predicting the Bucs will win 71.5% (116) of their games this year. Honestly, that seems way too high. I'll take the under and conservatively predict 75 wins.
2. Doumit.
3. Overbay.
4. Last year's bunting leader, Zach Duke with 8, is gone. This year the 2010 runner-up, HomeRon Cedeno, wins this contest hands down.
5. Continuing the trend of willingness of top Bucco brass to engage loyal fans for interviews, Spike makes a mint off Nutting family biography.

Still preseason? Yes.
Can Clint Hurdle impersonate Jim Tracy? Yes, reports the P-G.
"Can he drive a ball out of the park? Yes," Hurdle said. "Can he drive in runs? Yes. Has he got a slow heartbeat when he plays in the field and [is] at the plate? Yes. Those are the things we were looking for."

Bucs destroy Manatees
Inspired by Bob Nutting's will to win, the Bucs pistol-whipped the hated Manatees, 21-1.
Hats off to any remaining Manatee fans - we can only imagine what it feels like to have your favorite team lose by 20 runs.

Nutting: must get better
Bob Nutting raises the bar.
It is critically important that they understand, and we understand, that 2011 is not going to be a year where small bits of incremental beer are going to be adequate.

Bizarro World
It is very disorienting, after the Pirates' championship and the Steelers' run through the playoffs, to see the Steelers lose a game.
Nuts. Spring training can't come soon enough.

Super Bowl XLV: Steelers and Packers
Wrapping up our week of wall-to-wall Super Bowl coverage, I conclude with my keys to victory for each team:
Steelers: Veteranosity and clutchiness.
Packers: Luck and poor officiating.
Enjoy the game, Steeler fans!

AFC Championship Game: Jets at Steelers
Kickoff at 6:30. Sometimes it feels like we're just making this stuff up.
Update: Pittsburgh's going to the Super Bowl ... again!

Top 20 Pirate Prospects
John Sickels likes him some Pirates Prospects. Excellent pitching aside, it is hard to not get excited about so many options for future utility infielders.

NFL week 17
When the NFL gets reorganized into upper and lower tiers, the Steelers will not have to bother playing the small market hapless Browns.
Bye week allows the Steelers to kick back, relax, and enjoy the newly released 2010 Pirates World Championship DVD.

NFL week 16
After the Bucs' World Series sweep and another Steelers' playoff clinching, Christmas seems kind of superfluous this year.

NFL week 15
Steelers clinched yet another playoff berth in a meaningless game against the hapless Jets.
Only 68 more days until Spring Training.
