The Pens wrapped up their preseason last night with a win. They begin the Quest for the Cup with their first regular-season game on Thursday, the 3rd. There are some question marks in the Pens game as far as the goalie situation, the defense and who will be playing on Sid and Geno's lines. But you know what? Every team is going to have questions going into the season. One thing we do know, the Pens will have the fire power needed to ignite another run to the Cup. They have an 82-game schedule to work on the rest. Let's Go Pens!!!
The Steelers are looking up from an unfamiliar position in the AFC North. At an uncharacteristic 0-3, the Men of Steel go into London this week looking to get their first victory since last season. They face another 0-3 team, the Minny Vikes. Something has got to give. Rookie RB Le'Veon Bell is expected to see his first regular season action. TE Heath Miller continues to come back from a knee injury. QB Ben Roethlisberger looks to atone for last weeks turnover-fest. And the defense are still looking for their first turnover of the season. This week is a good week to get in the win column as they go into their bye Let's Go Steelers!!!!!!
The Pirates finish out the regular season with a HUGE series in Cincy this weekend. They could finish the weekend as the visiting team in the wild-card round (worst case scenario) or they could play St Louie in a 1-game playoff for the NL Central flag (best case scenario). Whatever the case, the Pirates are at least assured of playing the wild card game on Tuesday night. Pirates and playoffs are 2 words that haven't been used in a sentence in a positive manner in quite some time around these parts. Get ready to raise the Jolly Roger. Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
Gee, typing these words, Mrs. Black-N-Gold is starting to get misty-eyed. Yes, it's a great time of year to be a fan of the black-n-gold!
