Pittsburgh Pirates' Pennant Stories

Rick Grantham
The Pirates got its name after acquiring former Athletics second baseman, Bierbauer. Although they had rough times in the 1890s, they dominated the ensuing decade. Even if it did not last, they manage to win a few more World Series throughout its existence.

The Future Looks Bright for the Pittsburgh Pirates on the Field
by
D. J. Pierce
For years the fans of the Pittsburgh Pirates have had little to get excited about. That may start to change in 2011 with the formation of a young and talented lineup. The Pirates are set with budding stars like Neil Walker, Pedro Alvarez, Jose Tabata and Andrew McCutchen. Sure, there are questions about their supporting cast on the field but those too seem to have answers coming up through the minor leagues as well.

It's Happening to the Pittsburgh Pirates Part 2
by
Jerry Steege
The Pittsburgh Pirates have 2 guys that have turned in quality performances throughout this season, but there are three others that have made this staff a formidable opponent. Jeff Karstens, James McDonald, and Paul Maholm have been downright dominant in many of their starts. Jeff Karstens in his first start post all star break only took 83 pitches to complete a win. It has been a long time coming but the Pirates seem to have a staff that strikes fear in their opponents, and one of those guys is a replacement for the guy that was originally penciled in as a starter.

The Resurgence of A.J. Burnett And The Pittsburgh Pirates
by
Paul Ciullo
By the end of the 2011 season, the New York Yankees had finally run out of patience with A.J. Burnett. His time in pinstripes certainly had a few highs - a respectable 2009 season that ended in a World Series title for the Yanks, two or three outstanding postseason starts during his tenure, and serving as the behind the scenes ringleader of the team's pie in the face antics following walk-off wins. But whatever good he accomplished was ultimately overshadowed by his terribly inconsistent 2010 and 2011 campaigns, and after burning through a number of catchers and pitching coaches the team figured it was time to move on and cut their losses.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have not given their fans much to be excited about over the last two decades and last season was no exception with just 62 wins. The Pirates made a number of changes in the offseason adding Lastings Miledge, Bobby Crosby and Octavio Dotel, but most of the changes represent just an incremental improvement.

The Last Place Pittsburgh Pirates and Our Last Place Economy
by
Bruno Korschek
This article reviews the latest depressing economic and inflation data from the Federal government and compares our dire economic situation to the last place exploits of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1950s and their lone star, Ralph Kiner. The article concludes with a set of suggestions that need to be implemented to lift our eocnomy out of last place, something that Ralph Kiner could not do for his Pirates.

The Pirates Are in First Place, the Pirates Aren't in First Place
by
Jerry Steege
The Pirates are on the top of the NL Central one day and in third place the next day. That's how it is in a pennant race and that's how fans the haven't seen a winning season in 18 years like it. So, if it is back and forth the rest of the season that's ok. It's a lot better than the alternative.
