NEWS AND NOTES

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 17:27:10 -0500

--Here's a greater discussion of the 2008-09 Penguins schedule, which opens in Stockholm, Sweden against the Stockholm Ottawa Senators.

--The Pirates returned from the All-Star break and promptly dropped a 5-3 decision to the Colorado Rockies, who entered the game with the third-worst record in the majors. Paul Maholm gave up five runs in six innings and Adam LaRoche added two hits and two RBI. It was your typical, uneventful, leading-up-to-the-trade-deadline Pirate game.

--Greensburg's Rocco Mediate [legal name] is tied for the lead at the British Open with Graeme McDowell and Robert Allenby after one round of play. One shot back is Greg Norman (Greg Norman!), whose eventful summer included marrying Chris Evert and a $103 million divorce settlement from his ex-wife Laura Andrassy.

--The leaders of an investment team that soon could have a 75 percent stake in the upcoming downtown casino donated more than $200,000 to Governor Ed Rendell from 2000 to 2006.

--Juan Marichal is in town as the keynote speaker at a Negro League All-Star Gala.

--Don't forget, today is the semi-finals of ESPN 1250's Top Fan Contest at Mario's in the South Side from 3-7 PM. Show your support for Mondesi's House reader and contestant Marky Billson.

--A gay dating website has been using pictures of a bare-chested Brady Quinn in their ads without his knowledge. The hits just keep on coming for this guy, no?

PENS SCHEDULE RELEASED

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:03:44 -0500

We can all stop holding our breath: the 2008-09 Penguins schedule has been released. And since there was no two-hour ESPN special for Schedule Release Day like the NFL gets, you'll just have to settle for a link to Colin Dunlap's article for all of the highlights and notable games.

Just make sure to circle February 8 on your calendar, for that's the night that one Marian Hossa returns to Mellon Arena. I'm looking forward to a level of hospitality from Pittsburghers reserved only for superstars such as Barry Bonds and Jaromir Jagr on that evening.
