    Another Suspension But What Is a Performance Enhancer?

    November 27, 2012 3

    It’s a shockingly regular occurrence, an MLB superstar busted using “performance enhancing drugs”.  This time it was Philadelphia catcher and fan favorite Carlos Ruiz. Ruiz failed his second test for amphetamines, more specifically Adderall. Adderall is a drug commonly prescribed to people that suffer from ADHD or those with difficulty focusing on tasks.  It is mostly used…

    Pitcher of the half Melissa: It was a tough choice between James McDonald and AJ Burnett, but I had to go with AJ.  As we know, AJ had 2 rough starts, one in which he gave up 12 runs in 2.2 innings and the other in which he gave up 6 runs in 5 innings.…

    Frustration. Need two out of the next two. I said I would be unhappy with a split and I stand by it. The Pirates should have won this series. Mellie’s recap. A Pitt football primer. First Pitch:  7:05 PM EST Where To Watch:  Root Sport, MLB.TV, CSN Raul Valdes, LHP (34) Late last night the…

    I’m of the opinion that anything less than a series win against the Phillies is a pretty big disappointment. The Pirates really made that disappointment likely by losing last night. Recap. First Pitch: 7:05 PM EST Where to watch: Root Sports, MLB.TV, CSN Vance Worley, RHP (24) Worley has been shockingly good this year. He…

    A little bit of good news for the Pirates.  They will miss Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels!  They are also getting Jeff Karstens back! I posted yesterday what I would do with Karstens back, but it’s moot now because Lincoln is going back to the pen.  Still you should probably read it. First Pitch: 7:05…

    Another close game, but this time the Bucs win! The Bucs win! Seriously though, they can’t afford to lose many games where they only give up one or two runs. And what is more gratifying than a walk-off infield single? It sure was nice of the Pirates to put the Phillies away though, ending a…

    There isn’t a ton of shame in getting shut down by Roy Hallday, like I said he is the best pitcher of the current generation. There are some good things to take away from that game. Tops is obviously the success of Erik Bedard.  Bedard controlled the Phillies, he stood toe to toe with Doc,…
