John O’Reilly Giving It Everything He’s Got For New Organization
In late April, the Trash Pandas received a boost to their pitching staff with the addition of John O’Reilly to the roster.

Laurels & lances: Legend, lanternflies and law

Severe Weather Alert Day: Late day strong storms possible
PITTSBURGH — Showers this morning will taper off with another day of scattered showers through our Friday.
