Pittsburgh Pirates: A State of the Union Podcast and Other Related Topics

Welcome once again to another edition, podcast, and episode of the TJ McAloon and the Sports Half Hour. Today on the show, we were joined by resident Pittsburgh Pirates enthusiast, Dr. Matthew Bruce Fisher.

We took a look at what the current edition of the 2011 Pittsburgh Pirates looks like. From their mediocre start, to the schedule ahead, is this the year the Buccos can snap their consecutive losing season streak at 19 years?

Also on the show, the doctor and myself took a look at the upcoming Game Seven of the Pittsburgh Penguins playoff series.

What, did you think that this whole half hour podcast was going to be dedicated to a team that last had a winning season during the first Bush administration? A team that hasn't had a winning season since Nirvana, 2 Live Crew, and Def Leppard were on the top of the charts?

No, of course not, that would be bad podcasting. And you, the wonderful listener would more than likely have tuned out or hit stop on your ipod within the first eight minutes.

Well, you may still, but hey don't say we didn't warn you.

But, the podcast is full of free-flowing conversation between myself and Dr. Fisher, so give it a listen.
