Get out your fiddles and let's hear the Pittsburgh Pirate sob stories. After 75 games, and the Buccos playing at a .333 rate, the Pirates are last in the league offensively in hits, runs, and RBI's. Their pitching has given up the most hits in the entire league and their team ERA is next to last in the league. After 75 games, not one pitcher has a complete game. In the last 19 games they have 17 loses and a mere 2 wins. When GM Neal Huntington goes to watch a game, you have to wonder what goes on through his mind? Hopefully the Buccos are hitting rock bottom but there is doubt with that statement.
Pitt football just received another verbal commitment and this is the first from a local player for the class of 2011. His name is Lafayette Pitts from East Pittsburgh power Woodland Hills High School. Woodland Hills has 5 former grads in the NFL with a possibility of having 2 more this season. What a job veteran Coach George Novak has done. Lafayette Pitts is an athletic corner/wide receiver/kick returner. Lots of upside with this guy.
Is veteran QB Brett Favre returning this season? My guess yes. He will wait to the last minute trying to avoid participation in the early stages of the Vikings training camp. There are a ton of opinions on whether Favre should return but the guy can play the game at his age and he still thinks he can win the Vikings a Super Bowl. Remember only 33 precious days until training camp begins. Is the NFL heading to a lock-out come next March? Stay tuned.
