Pittsburgh Pirates Sunday Services – 004

As 1984 played out something became clear, Lee Lacy was a pretty good replacement.

Change My Mind!

I love this format because it gets people talking, Craig and I want to try doing something like this and we’d like to launch them in the evening when we all have more time to really go after it.

Top Ten – Buccos Who Celebrated Ten Years in Black and Gold

This list is all the “best” Pirates to spend ten seasons in the Black and Gold. It will obviously not have a large representation in the modern era, and it should be pretty obvious, if you’re on this list, you were a damn good ball player.

Friday Focus – Foundation of the Franchise

Well, as some of you know, once a week or so I like to put out a piece called Five Thoughts at Five. These always get some fun conversations going with all of you, and this one was no different Wednesday night.

Friday Focus – Will Some Teams Have a Fire Sale?

There are a ton of questions surrounding baseball coming back, the biggest of which clearly being will it happen. All the ins and outs of an eventual agreement will be hammered out over the coming days or that singular question will render the rest moot.
