Pull stats— Pirates- Jung Ho Kang starting at 3rd, Erik Gonzalez Starting at 3rd, Pitching Rotation is looking solid with Tallinn, Archer, Williams, Musgrove, and Lyles, Brualt, or kingium. The Defense looks solid all around, but the offense is where they will struggle. Riverhounds- this past Saturday was the opening of the USL, the Hounds took a 2-0 loss on the road to open the season in Tampa to the Rowdies, the hounds found themselves dominated in all categories of the game. The hounds play this Saturday at Swope Park Rangers, in Kansas City. Matt- International Soccer PGA- The Players was an amazing tournament. This year they changed the trophy, and the first person to win it was Rory McLlory. With a come from behind win in the last 5 holes. Greensburgh own Jim Furyk was in the clubhouse with the lead when Rory birdied 16 to take the lead. John Rahm was the 54 hole leader and had a meltdown on the back 9 down the stretch. This week the PGH is in Tampa FL at the Valspar Championship at Innisbrook Copperhead Course. NCAA- Wrestling In Pittsburgh NCAA- Day one opened up today in the first round of the tournament. Unfortunately work this year I watched at home before heading in. (Check scores) Penguins- the Pens are not helping themselves not finishing games and giving up points. It’s good they got one point in the past two ties, but hurts in long run especially with teams your chasing. The pens have let in some weak goals and the offense hasn’t been clicking. Kessel hasn’t had a full strength goal in 25 games, Malkin is week to week with a upper body. The team looks mediocre. Numbers, top 6, wild card, or miss. Steelers- Mike Hilton Using Restricted Free Agency in his favor, the Steelers have been tossing some money around in Free Agency which is not normal for the team to Cornerback Steven Nelson, WR, Donte Moncrief, and LB/Safety Mark Barron 46mill in total for the 3.
