Aint over til' it's over

The Pittsburgh Steelers still have a shot to turn this season around. They have won 2 games in a row and last week against the Ravens proves that the Steelers still have life. Now, will the Steelers actually do something the rest of this season? It has yet to be seen, but I believe that they are capable of making this season worth something.

Don't get me wrong, they are still the "worst" team in Pittsburgh, but I think they could turn a bad season thus far into something worth waiting for.  They put on a strong showing against a formidable foe this past Sunday against the strongly hated Baltimore Ravens. They won on a last second field goal, and improved their record to 2-4, winning 2 games straight.

I don't know if the Steelers will turn this season around, nobody does. But what is a guarantee, is that the Steelers will go down fighting and won't give up hope.

A change in scene

Something new is happening in the city of Pittsburgh, for the first time in 20 years we can officially say that the Pittsburgh Steelers are the worst pro sports team in the city. The Pittsburgh Pirates are no longer the laugh of the town. The Pittsburgh Penguins are on top of this city as they have been for the past several years.

I believe that Pittsburgh has the richest sports history out of any city in the world. The winning passion that this city has, has never changed and has always been something to be proud of. My favorite team in this city is the Steelers, but this year it has been hard to watch. It's tough to sit in front of my television and want to break the screen. I can peacefully watch the Penguins and know something great is going to happen at any second. They are simply, in my opinion, the best NHL team and have the most talent in the world.

I hope the Steelers can turn it around real fast, they finally got their first win this past week. They also played a bad New York Jets team. The schedule doesn't get any easier from here, they play the Ravens on Sunday.

The Penguins are playing great hockey right now, they have lost one game and Sidney Crosby is on a record breaking streak for points this season. He has scored a point in every single game this season.

Biggest game in my lifetime

Everything that has happened this season for the Pittsburgh Pirates, throw it out the window. Everything that has happened this season for the St. Louis Cardinals, throw it out the window. Wednesday October 9, 2013, mark this day on your calendar, the Pirates vs. the Cardinals, win or go home. A NLDS game 5, winner takes all, the Pirates have to win to move on.

I have never been more proud of a professional sports team in my life, the 2013 Pittsburgh Pirates have really stole my heart this year. I don't want to see this magical run come to an end and quite frankly neither does the entire city of Pittsburgh.

Gerrit Cole (back) AJ Burnett (front)

In my own opinion, the only way that the Pirates can win this game on Wednesday is if they start Gerrit Cole as their pitcher. It is a debate right now as to who is going to pitch for the Pirates, either AJ Burnett or Gerrit Cole. Burnett, this season has allowed an average of 1+ runs per inning against the Cardinals. Cole has shut them down every time he has threw against them, including a huge game 2 this past Friday. But the debate continues, Burnett is a veteran and Cole is a young rookie. Who do you go with? Experience or Domination? I believe Cole is the true answer to Wednesdays victory.

I'd hate to see this amazing season come to an end that shouldn't be. Wednesday is going to be one that goes down in history, win or lose. LETS GO BUCS!

Moving on

Raise it! The Pirates win! The first playoff game in PNC Park history has proven to be a winner.

I don't know what was more impressive last night in Pittsburgh, the players or the fans? The crowd played a huge part in the victory last night, just as much as the players did I believe.

The Buccos won in convincing fashion, if they keep this up, they will be unstoppable. They have now moved on to the second round of the playoffs, and will be taking on the St. Louis Cardinals. They play tomorrow night at 5:07pm in St. Louis.

Let's "raise the Jolly Roger" in St. Louis, Pittsburgh!
