Beat Down By Buffalo

3rd & 5 in Bills territory, Heath Miller does something stupid. 5 yards backwards.
No dice, incomplete. Punt it. And a good one too, to the 10 of the Bills.
James Harrison came through in the clutch with a huge sack at the 3 yard line.

2nd Quarter
That caps a 90 yard drive in 6:36. Bummer.
Big Ben would show himself for a 3rd drive and man did he show up.
Roethlisberger---->Hines Ward 24 yards.

Rashard Mendenhall got in on the game and poked around for a couple yards.
Pittsburgh was faced with a 3rd & 8....and then a penalty.
3rd & 13, again? Then, Roethlisberger----->Melwede Moore 14 yards.

That's a first down.
Next play, we're going downtown. Santonio Holmes, 40 yard TD reception.
14-7
Just like his days at the O-H I-O
The Bills would poke around on some runs and then JP Losman would drop back.

JP Losman, meet Aaron Smith. Sacked lunch.
The next drive for the Steelers would see Byron Leftwich for the first time.

(Disregaurd picture)
First play, Leftwich------>Nate Washington 24yards.
Leftwich would miss on a 3rd & 2 bringing up Jeff Reed.

Pittsburgh Heads to Toronto; For Football?

Everything About Philly Stinks

We had it, right in our hands....actually Tyler Yates' hands. What has this guy's problem been? He was an unstoppable flame thrower out of the bullpen with Capps, Grabow, and Marte. His ERA is ginormous and it's getting to be as bad as Ian Snell. Speaking of....still struggling. It's awful and to put it bluntly, they blew a chance at taking 2 of 3. It started off in good vibes for the Pirates when it went 0-0 into the 12th before the Bucco's put up a 2 spot and hold on to win. That would be the end of the good news.
Bad news started pouring in while the team was in Philadelphia when they learned Phil Dumatrait was done for the year. His shoulder is going to need some medical experience applied to it and some serious rehab. Bummer, he was looking like a solid pitcher before the all-star break. Dang. Let's just hope he doesn't flop the the others, including Duke, Gorzelanny, Snell, and Maholm (who's been decent to say the least).

Steelers Pre-Season; How Many More?

Horrible Pitching, Well...Almost

Only the Pirates can manage 7 runs and lose. 18 hits....in ONE GAME!? Something is obviously wrong when numbers creep towards the vente mark. That's Spanish for 20, for all of those who didn't attend and bilingual classes. Tyler Yates, has officially clocked himself out for the rest of the season. His ERA was one of the best out of the bullpen, that being a sub 3.30. Now, it's ballooned to a staggering 4.86. It's higher than Sean Burnett's, how is that possible?! Somehow, the Pirates managed 4 runs off of Dan Harren's illegal pitching delivery, but it's never enough, is it? Haren threw 97 pitches in the ball game and 71 of them counted for strikes. Crazy. It doesn't matter, Tyler Yates blew it and so did the Pirates. Game 2 was over before it even started. Brandon Webb took the mound and got his 16th victory and basically took the Cy Young award by the balls. But come one, he does pitch in the NL West....then again, they are all "professionals". That last part pertains to everyone, except Manny Ramirez, because we all know that isn't true.
And finally, how about Jeff Karsten's? Shuts down the Cubs and now almost gets a perfect game in his second game with the Bucco's. He went 7.2 before giving up a double to Chris Young. What a shame too, becuase the Pirates needed something to show for their trades. (That was sarcasm
