McLouth or McCutchen

Okay, who is the better CF, Nate McLouth or Andrew McCutchen.
Before the Pirates traded Nate McLouth in June, his stats where:
.256 AVG 9 HR 34 RBI 7 SB, and since his trade to the Braves his stats have been just about the same with 9 HR and 34 RBI and a .259 AVG, with 12 SB.
After McLouth was traded, Andrew McCutchen was called up from AAA since then McCutchen has had, .283 AVG 12 HR 54 RBI 18 SB.

So, who do you think is better?
I say Andrew McCutchen.

My 2009 Ballhawk Stats

This is the first year that I decided to collect baseballs, and keep track of them. I snagged 11 baseballs this year in 8 games. I have a collection of 19 baseballs, but before this year I have given baseballs away or took them home, hit them with my bat, and lost them. But this post is about my ballhawk stats of 2009.

9/20/09- Pirates vs Padres

This was my last game of the season :(
So I had to make this game a good one.
I got to the stadium about 15 minutes before the gates opened at 11am for the 1:35pm start. Every Sunday home game for the Pirates is a kids day, so there was gonna be alot of kids at this game. My first ball came from Virgil Vasquez and my second ball was thrown to me by Evan Meek.
Before BP ended I took the picture below.

Picture below is the view from my seat.

The Padres beat the Pirates 4-0, I left the game early, so I could go home and watch the Steelers game, which they lost 17-14.

2 balls at this game.

11 balls this season.
8 games this season.
1.37 balls per game.

19 total MLB baseballs.

After I left the game, I took this picture of me below.

9/15/09- Penguins vs Blue Jackets (Pre-Season)

Hockey is back!
This game was as good as a pre-season game could get.
I went to this game with my friend Matt.
When we got to the arena, I got a picture of the new Consol Energy Center.

And the picture below is the awesome Penguins van.

And below are other pictures I took at this game.






The Penguins won 5-4 in OT after losin' 3-0 at the the start of the 3rd period. I just cannot wait until the regular season, it is gonna be a great one!

Pittsburgh Penguins Season Preview

First pre-season game tomorrow, which I will be at.
The Penguins defend their championship this season, and this year I think will end the same as last year, with the Penguins as the Stanley Cup Champions. The Penguins had a good off-season with some good free agent pickups.

So far I have only 3 Penguins games planned for this season.
Sept. 15, 2009- vs Columbus Blue Jackets (pre-season)
Nov. 16, 2009- vs Anaheim Ducks
Mar. 2, 2010- vs Buffalo Sabres

I am sure I will be at more than 3 games this year, but that is all the game I know now.

I think the Penguins will win the divison, and be the 2nd seed in the conference, I believe the Washington Capitals will be the 1st seed in the conference.

And thats about it.
LETS GO PENS!

NFL Season Kickoff

The Steelers beat the Titans 13-10 on the openin' NFL game of the season, it was a great game. Jeff Reed for the Steelers won the game in OT. In the 4th quarter Hines Ward made what everybody thought was the game-winnin' catch, but the ball was stripped, and the Titans recovered the ball.

The Steelers runnin' game was TERRIBLE. Willie Parker only had 19 yards on 13 carries.

Troy Polamalu had an excellent interception, Polamalu strained his MCL, and might be out 3-6 weeks.

Also today is the 8th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, and we shall never forget the heroes of that day.

My Birthday/Pirates Clinch 17th Consecutive Losing Season

Today is my 16th birthday!
And the Pirates clinched their 17th consecutive losin' season with a 4-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs. I was gonna go to the Pirates game tomorrow against the Cubs, but the weather does not look good, so I am not gonna go.
