As the Pirates are getting shelled again and
wrapping up a record tying 16 th consecutive losing
season, I'm forced once again into the glorious past. Nate McLouth has started off this season with an 18-game hitting streak, longest since Al Oliver did the same in 1972. I'm irrational about the Pirates in general, but Al Oliver is a bigger weakness than most for me.
The Pittsburgh Pirates Roundtable has returned. After nearly
a year’s hiatus, some of the best Pirate minds
are again coming together to discuss the team’s most pressing issues. Many thanks to all who contributed, and please take the time to visit each of their sites. I would encourage everyone to join in the comments section.
Two Pittsburgh Pirates bloggers debate a set of
five questions.
In case you missed it (and you might
have because it lingered a bit, just a bit),
Tuesday night's All-Star Game was an instant classic. It had everything. Great pitching, some ridiculous plays by the likes of Miguel Tejada and Nate McLouth and a walk-off sac fly play at the plate. Amidst all the awesomeness, was one Dan Uggla.
Facts, figures and other tidbits from the eighteenth
week of the ’08 major league baseball season. Splash
: Pittsburgh’s Nate McLouth homered in the sixth inning in their 8-4 win over the Colorado Rockies on Monday which bounced into the Allegheny River. It was the 23 rd home run to land in the river at PNC Park which was measured at 448 feet. Back-to-Back : The Orioles hit ...
There was only one group of people happy
with Gavin Floyd's pitching performance against the Pittsburgh Pirates
yesterday: those who own him in fantasy baseball leagues. That's because he was only charged with giving up one run in his start yesterday against the Pittsburgh Pirates, despite really giving up seven runs.
This year's All-Star Game only seemed to add
to my thesis that 2008 may end up being
the greatest year in sports history . The performance of Dan Uggla notwithstanding, everything about it was a fitting finale for the grand cathedral that is Yankee ...
At the 2008 All Star Game in NYC
a fan was in a bad mood and released
all of his anger out on Nate McLouth, the center fielder for the National League
Ryan Doumit went 2-for-3 with a walk, a
home run, and 3 RBI, and Nate McLouth reached
base 3 times, doubled and scored as the Pirates defeated the Nationals, 7-5. Cristian Guzman had 3 hits and 3 RBI for Washington. Justin Upton was on base 4 times, and Mark Reynolds tripled and drove in 2 runs to lead the Diamondbacks to another comeback win against the Mets, 5-4. Johan Santana ...
Ah, sac bunting. While it is excessively polite
-- "Here, other team, take one of my precious
outs. No no -- I insist! Allow me to make it as easy as possible for you." -- it is also strategically numbskulled. If you took the idea of bunting and ...
1. While Josh Hamilton put on a show
that even impressed my non-sports enjoying roommate, my favorite
moment of Monday's Home Run Derby was Chase Utley's introduction. Fans inside the stadium booed Utley as he was announced, provoking this reaction from the Phillies second baseman: "Boo? Fuck you." It was one of the funniest live television moments I've seen in a while, most likely because ...
I love a good underdog story and the
offensive performance of the Pirate’s OF Nate McLouth, and
2008 NL All Star, is one of those stories. Who would have thought that he’d have a year like the one he’s currently enjoying? His line this week was 9/4/9/2/.290/.333 (R/HR/RBI/SB/BA/OBP). Ryan Howard, 1B of the Phirst place Phillies

The new management team in Pittsburgh rates Nate
McLouth higher than the previous regime. Some of the
stats cited in the article are a little too specialized to mean anything real, but they do show McLouth is a patient hitter.
