Bob Smizik is a Crotchety Old Pittsburgherbit
Since Ryan Howard signed his record-breaking extension, the former Rookie of the Year-MVP-WFC has drawn national criticism as a one-dimensional, over-hyped, over-paid ballplayer. No one has sounded that siren louder than Post Gazette's Bob Smizik, who does so by pointing out the criticisms of fellow scribes rather than manning up and giving us his own in-depth opinion. But, the latent Howard hatred is there. The amazing thing is that the Post Gazette pays this guy to post other papers' columns. The only thing lazier than said columns would be for a blogger to accuse the bigoted Smizik of racism because Howard is African-American. Some of us just choose to take the higher road.Follow us on Twitter@HHReynolds or Click Here to get HHR in your inbox.

Obviously, She Was a Huge Mr. Belvedere Fan
Broadcaster Uecker says he was stalked in Pittsburgh"Mr. Uecker said Ms. Ladd approached him after games he worked, hiding and then jumping out unexpectedly to talk to him.

Assassin Avenue: The Pirates' Secret Revealed
As Pirate fans reel about the latest trade of the team's All-Star, HHR is proud to report it knows the secret to the Pirates' madness. The team is not the pathetic, bottom-feeder of MLB that it may appear to the untrained eye. In fact, the battling Buccos are in fact the only AAAA team in the World.That's right, the Pirates are Quad-A. Their role is to elevate players from Triple - A and get them used to that major league curve ball and (on the road at least) major league crowds and fan bases.
Once a player appears poised to succeed in the MLB, Quad-A Pittsburgh ships them to the highest bidder in order to start training the future stars of next season.
HHR suggests that Pittsburgh fans, who take pride in their city's evolution from Steel Town to a technology leader and green city, should take equal pride in the unique role their baseball team plays in today's Major League.
