Kind of a boring Saturday for Pittsburgh Sports

Talk about a yawner for Pittsburgh Sports.

Yeah Yeah..the Steelers signed their first round pick Evander "Ziggy" Hood, thus ensuring all of their draft picks will be at training camp, but there was never really any danger of this not occurring.

Buccos got blanked 7-0. Guess that means Garrett Jones didn't homer tonight....hehe.

Someone answer me this question. How can you score 10 runs one night and get shutout the next? Only the inconsistent Pirates could pull off that one.

In terms of the Pirates rumor mill, now it seems with Ted Lilly getting hurt for the Cubs, They might be very interested in Zach Duke. If the Pirates DO decide to make a move with Duke, they better get top value for a left hander who is amongst the top 25 pitchers in MLB this year.

Of course they'll end up with another outfield prospect, perhaps a middle relief pitcher with a 7 plus ERA, and maybe another low level middle infield prospect that has no prayer of making the majors.

I'm gonna climb down from the soapbox now.

No news on the Penguins front. No news is good news.

Oh well at least this total yawner of a day happened as the wife and I were busy buying more furniture for our new apartment for when we move in next Saturday.

I'm heading to bed. Night all!
