Since the trades of Jason Bay and Xavier Nady most people have been of the opinion that the Pirates have been playing significantly worse, especially offensively. This is a very easy conclusion to draw, . . .

Much has been made recently of the Pirates tying the Philadelphia Phillies with 16 straight years of below .500 baseball. This record is not just a baseball record, it is for all professional sports. . . .

Geez. Its been 17 years. I can't believe that ESPN is still bringing this up .
This was the worst sports moment of my life. The only time that I even came close to crying, which is saying quite . . .

A couple of days ago , it was announced the the Pirates will no longer be broadcast on KDKA radio after the 2006 season is over.

OK. There is all sorts of weirdness going on here, but am I the only one who finds it strange that 20 year old Jose Tabata's wife is 43? At first I thought it was just a misprint, but I've seen . . .

Since the middle of the 2005 season the Pirates have undergone more changes than any season that I can remember. Last years opening day line up was :

Game 2 was pretty much a carbon copy of Game 1. Good pitching, good
defense and timely hitting won the game. Ian Snell was dominant with a
career high 11 Ks over 6 innings. The X-Man was the offensive . . .

I would like to know how it is that Rob Neyer has determined that Freddie Sanchez is performing at a level worth $18M this year and that Jack Wilson is performing at a level worth over $12M. They are . . .

ESPN's Jayson Stark pulls out a pretty big name when finding someone to compare to Pedro Alvarez. The first half of the article is mostly on Alvarez's contract situation last summer, but then . . .

This will be very fascinating to see how this plays out. The Pirates a certainly trying to paint Scott Boras as the bad guy here, which he very well may be, but we'll have to give this some time to . . .

I have been meaning to post an overview of the Pirates pitching staff, but keep putting it off, partially because the more I think about it, the more I realize there just isn't a lot to say right now. . . .

I was hoping to complete this yesterday, but 'twas not to be. So here is my prediction on how the Pirates will fare in 2006, one game into the season.

I did not get to see yesterday's game, since it wasn't on FSN and I don't pay for one of those every game packages. Baseball already takes too much of my time as it is. That said, Bucco Blog . . .

One thing I often like to do is go to the Baseball Reference web site and search on a particular player to see how the Pirates acquired that player. Very often somebody who came up through the Pirates . . .

I keep thinking about Oliver's performance against the Red Sox 2 days ago. The game was on ESPN so I got to see some of it.

I'm not going to write a very detailed analysis of the last 10 games right now, but I did want to point out that since losing their first 6 games, the Pirates are actually playing .500 baseball. In . . .
