		<title>#AFL: My wish list for the Pittsburgh Power&#8217;s roster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Given western Pennsylvania's pool of talent, it's inevitable that the Arena Football League's Pittsburgh Power will work to roster a few local heroes. Former Panthers, Mountaineers, Nittany Lions and small college and high school standouts not currently thriving in organized ball may have an opportunity to come back home and wear the local colors.]]></description>

		<title>In hindsight: Neal Huntington&#8217;s worst trades as #Pirates GM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While Neal Huntington's work has the Pirates positioned well for a turnaround circa 2012 or so, his evaluation of players in certain trades seems inaccurate in hindsight. Unfortunately, along with his celebrated wins at the exchange came these four losses.]]></description>

		<title>The #Pirates can take aim at competing in 2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the trade deadline, Neal Huntington made it relatively clear that 2011 will be another year for evaluation. If the Pirates are ever going to play competitive baseball, it likely won't be until 2012. Here's my take on an Opening Day lineup for next year.]]></description>

		<title>Pirate Revolution: Stock up, stock down, and hope for the future</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Statistics are an important part of baseball, and so players are constantly being evaluated, judged, measured and scrutinized. In July, all the numbers are brought front and center by two events: the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, and the trade deadline. Cory and Alan consider the Pirates' roster in that context.]]></description>

		<title>Pirate Revolution: The podcast is back, and so it&#8217;s okay for the team to win again. Please?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Pittsburgh Pirates' ship began to sink shortly after the last recording of Pirate Revolution, a Titletahn podcast. Hosts Cory Humes and Alan Smodic return to their microphones today, and in doing so, hope to bail out a team that's struggled through their early schedule in 2010.]]></description>

		<title>Andy LaRoche is entrenching himself as the Pirates&#8217; third baseman of the present and future</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mike Lowell broke out at 26, and -- risking being a jinx -- Andy LaRoche is breaking out, too. Just 19 games into the 2010 season, I'm ready to commit to Andy at third for the long term. Move Pedro Alvarez to first base.]]></description>

		<title>Bad coaching decision: Lastings Milledge bunts into a double play</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It's the top of the 12th inning. You're deadlocked at five runs. Your opponent, the Milwaukee Brewers, brings in a left-handed pitcher, starter-turned-reliever Manny Parra. You have the heart of the order due up. What's the call?]]></description>

		<title>20-0. 100. 36-1. 31-131.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All numbers that point to this being the darkest day in recent Pirates history. A record-breaking shutout loss, eclipsing a standard that stood for a century. A three-game series of absolutely one-sided baseball. A Pythagorean expectation so pessimistic that it's quite literally unbelievable. ]]></description>

		<title>Podcast: Could Pittsburgh Steelers target Golden Tate or Dez Bryant on NFL draft day?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Pittsburgh Steelers are slated to pick 18th overall in the NFL draft, and only the top minds in their war room know which names are on the team's wish list. The rest of us are left to speculate ... and that's exactly what Cory and Alan are here to do.]]></description>
