I started my podcast game up again last night. My guests were three of my fellow long-tenured Pirates bloggers. Brian from Raise The Jolly Roger, Jim from Northside Notch, and Cory from Three Rivers Burgh Blog joined me and we talked for about 45 minutes and focused mainly on the offseason the Pirates had. We gave our opinions about the Pirates chances to compete this year, what they should do with the rest of the offseason, and talked a bit about the Edwin Jackson Twitter blow up and the ESPN poll that was big yesterday.I have to tell you here that the sound quality is not very good. It starts really bad but gets better a few minutes in, so just be patient with it. That was my fault, and I promise to make it better for next time. I'm going to try to get the podcast into iTunes, but for now.click here to listen or download
