From Penguins trades to off-season changes and even tactical changes, the Penguins Q&A.

At the yard, the Pirates rallied, but a controversial call broke the wrong way. Falter faltered, and the LA Dodgers are a pretty good team. Or, at least, they’re an expensive team. Here’s the Pittsburgh Pirates recap.

Danny Demilio and John Perrotto have done an amazing job covering that team. Danny doesn’t get nearly the recognition he should.
