We've all heard the whispers... "He can't win the big one" "So what if he wins the regular season, it's what a coach does in March that matters!", "Jamie Dixon is overrated". The head coach of the Pittsburgh Panthers has taken some flack these last few weeks after being bounced in the second round by Bulter. Although I may not agree with his coaching choices at the end of that particular game, I still think Dixon is a fantastic coach and would like him the be our head coach for a long time!
Talking about life, sports, politics, and everything else imaginable.

A Fresh Start
Coming off the heels of their 18th consecutive losing season, the Pittsburgh Pirates are less than a week away from beginning their 2011 campaign. With several key off-season acquisitions and the growth of their young talent, the Pirates plan on being more competitive in the NL Central this season.

And Now There Are Two
Since the day after the 2010 MLB Draft last June, the baseball world had unanimously pinned Anthony Rendon as the future first overall pick. When the college baseball season opened last month, Rendon was, again, the consensus number 1 who could only be knocked down if he suffered another major injury. Since then, Rendon has hit well, batting .341/.517/.565. And yet, there has been something off about Rendon's season.
Ian Snell Retires; Trades of Bucco Past
During the Pirates 18 season losing streak, the Pirates have been criticized for poor draft choices, frugal financial decisions, and horrible trades or "salary dumps". While that has been true for the first decade, or so, making that determination to the Pirates' trade moves in the last few years is incorrect. I hear it all the time: "the Pirates are bad because they trade away all their good players for bums." I challenge any Pirate fan to give me five players the Pirates have traded that went on to have excellent careers since 2007. Heck, I'll throw in the last 10 years; 2001.
