Andrew McCutchen interviews Anthony Bourdain (Video)
Under most circumstances, Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen is getting asked questions by reporters but in the below video clip, Andrew is the one doing the asking.
Check out his interview of famous celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain:
Brandon Inge wears full hockey outfit to support Penguins
The Pittsburgh Penguins are up three games to one in their series against Ottwa and their counterparts across the city are showing their support. Members of the Pittsburgh Pirates are wearing Penguin colors as they head on a road trip.
Of course one member of the Pirates is taking that to another level.

Andrew McCutchen Hanging Out With Anthony Bourdain
It is Andrew McCutchen’s world, we just happen to live in it.
On Tuesday ROOT Sports in Pittsburgh launched its new program All Stars With Andrew McCutchen which features ‘Cutch’ chilling with celebrities.
If the first episode of All Stars is any indication of how this is going to go, it is certainly worth watching. McCutchen’s first guest was chef/traveler/cool dude Anthony...
Clint Hurdle goes for the jugular
The Pirates are Cubs have a 12:35 getaway game this afternoon, but Clint Hurdle is not messing around with the typical "afternoon getaway game after winning the first two games of the series" blowoff lineup; with the exception of Mike McKenry starting for Russell Martin, Hurdle's got all of his regulars on the field today.
That's good. The Pirates have had...
Andrew McCutchen Interviewed Anthony Bourdain And It Was Pretty Great
At 26-years old, Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen is one of the best young stars in baseball, and I hate that he plays in the National League Central, because he’s probably my favorite non-Cardinal to watch play, so I hate to have to cheer against him when he plays St. Louis. A lot of people believe that Cutch is one of baseball’s best 5-tool players, and they...
Francisco Liriano Digs Up A Gem In 1-0 Pirates Win
Slider. Changeup. Slider. Slider. Slider. Slider. Slider. Changeup. Changeup. Slider. Changeup. Slider. Slider. Slider. Changeup. Slider. Slider. Fastball! Slider.
Francisco Liriano has won each of his first three starts for the Pirates.
Those were the pitches Francisco Liriano threw to get Cubs batters to swing and miss en route to nine strikeouts. In the Pirates’ 1-0 win over...
Prospect Notebook: Jerry Sands Could Be a Good In-Season Addition For the Pirates
Jerry Sands has three homers in his last four games.
A few weeks ago I wrote about how Jerry Sands was struggling all around, and how there were no silver linings to his game. He wasn’t hitting right-handers or left-handers. He wasn’t hitting for power. It wasn’t a home/road split, or a situation where you could point to the most recent games with hope that he was turning things...
Snider’s Grand Slam Explodes Twitter, Or Does It?
I think one of the great things about the way we use technology to follow sports is the ability to take a step back and observe the way the masses react to memorable moments. In the case of Travis Snider’s grand slam in the sixth inning of the Pirates’ 5-4 win against the Cubs on Tuesday, my observation is that there was smoke coming off my Twitter feed in the moments following...

Q&A: Vic Black, Pirates’ Future Closer
Vic Black is the heir apparent to the closer’s job in Pittsburgh. The 24-year-old right-hander won’t be replacing Jason Grilli in the near future, but he may be joining Grilli in the Pirates’ bullpen. Four years after being drafted 49th overall out of Dallas Baptist University, Black looks close to big-league ready.
Black cooks with gas: His fastball sits in the mid-to-high...
INTO THE DRINK
Alvarez hits HR out of PNC Park, into river
Pittsburgh Pirates slugger Pedro Alvarez brings new meaning to “hit it out of the park” as this home run ball clears the bleachers and ends up in the Allegheny drink. Screen snaps below courtesy of MLB.com, Root Sports, and KDKA and brought to you by Lowe’s. Looks like a Sergio Garcia shot at 17 Sometimes you just have to get wet as a fan retrieves the wet souvenir -David...
