Pirates Declare War on Fans’ Arteries, Introduce Donut Burger at PNC Park (Video)
Though I’ve long suspected it, given the quality of the teams they’ve been running out onto the field for the last 20 years, I now have definitive proof: the Pittsburgh Pirates are trying to kill their fans. Their latest method? Heart disease. It’s diabolical, really. You see, the Pirates have introduced a new item to [...]

Check Out This Monster Home Plate Collision Between Yadier Molina and Josh Harrison (Video)
During the offseason, some people wondered why the St. Louis Cardinals decided not to give Albert Pujols all the zeros he wanted, but then turned around and signed Yadier Molina to a record deal for a catcher (not named Joe Mauer) that will pay him $75 million over five years. Well, this season Molina [...]

Some Nuns Did The “Zoltan Z” At The Pittsburgh Pirates Game Last Night (Video)
In case you hadn’t noticed, the Pittsburgh Pirates—the team that hasn’t had a winning record since 1992—are 16 games over .500, just 2.5 games out of first place in the NL Central, and currently 3.5 games up on the Cardinals for the second of the NL’s two wild card spots.

Stat Line Of The Night — 7/31/12 — A.J. Burnett
Approximately one month prior to the start of the 2012 MLB season, many of us were getting quite the laugh out of Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher A.J. Burnett. Not only was he coming off consecutive poor seasons with the New York Yankees (a combined 21-26 record and an ERA over 5.00), but he also managed to [...]

The Pittsburgh Pirates are 27-13 at home this season, and with an overall record of 46-36, they currently sit atop the NL Central, two games up on the Cincinnati Reds. Who would have thought, right?

Stat Line Of The Night — 7/2/12 — Garrett Jones
When the 2012 MLB season kicked off in April, no one expected to see the Pittsburgh Pirates competing for top spot in the National League Central Division. Fast forward three months later to last night. Not only did the Pirates own an impressive 42-36 record, but they were also just one game back of the [...]

Stat Line Of The Night – 5/9/12 – Andrew McCutchen
The Pittsburgh Pirates may not be known for being one of the best teams in the league – the team finished last night tied for third in the National League Central – but they have one of the best center fielders in Andrew McCutchen. The Pirates have been an above average team at their home [...]

Let’s Watch A.J. Burnett Bunt A Ball Into His Own Face (Video)
Being back in the National League for the first time since 2005, A.J. Burnett will need to get his groove back at the plate. If his performance during yesterday’s batting practice at the Pittsburgh Pirates spring training session was any indication, that may take a while for the 35-year-old starting pitcher. With all eyes on [...]

A.J. Burnett Is Putting Daniel McCutchen’s Kid Through College
A.J. Burnett doesn’t seem to care all that much if the front of his jersey reads “Yankees” or “Pirates.” As long as the back reads “34,” he’s happy. Unfortunately for him, obtaining No. 34 in a Pirates uniform isn’t going to be cheap for the 35-year-old starting pitcher, as the number is already taken by [...]

This Day In Sports History (October 13th) – Bill Mazeroski
It was on this day in 1960 that the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the New York Yankees in game seven of the World Series. Pirates second baseman Bill Mazeroski won the game in the bottom of the ninth inning with a solo home run off of Yankees pitcher Ralph Terry. The Yankees entered the series as [...]

Pirates Turn Triple Play, Only Need Two Outs (Video)
I guess sometimes you can never be too sure. Take the Pittsburgh Pirates, for example, who needed only two more outs during the bottom of the eighth inning during last night’s game against the Houston Astros, but they decided to get three, just to be safe. Although the Pirates defense may have showed a great [...]

James McDonald Records An Out, Gives Himself A Gatorade Shower (Video)
Gatorade showers have become synonymous with championship celebrations, but it appears as though Pittsburgh Pirates starter James McDonald is trying to start a new trend. After recording the final out in the seventh inning, McDonald’s was given high-fives all around in the dugout, as his night on the mound was over. He handed his bullpen [...]

Some Fans Went A Little Wacko During The Braves vs. Pirates 19-Inning Marathon (Video)
A 19 inning baseball game has the power to put most of the fans in the stands to sleep, if they haven’t already left for their comfortable beds at home. However, those who stay awake throughout the duration of the game can often take on a somewhat delirious state of being. That was the case [...]

Braves Beat Pirates In 19 Innings Thanks To The Worst Call In Baseball History (Video)
Approximately six hours and thirty minutes after Tommy Hanson threw out the first pitch of last night’s game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Atlanta Braves, both teams found themselves tied at 3-3 as they headed into the bottom of the 19th inning.
