Back in 2006, one of the first and most popular features in site history was Pittsburgh Pirates: the Movie. It generated such a response that it returned last season for a sequel. And here we are in year three, so you know what that means: the tradition must live on. That's right, it's time for Pittsburgh Pirates: The Movie III.
Yes, we have a few cast members returning from past editions, but in this installment you will find many new faces. Some were easy calls; others, not so much. Either way, it was a lot of fun to piece together.
So sit back and enjoy what's become a part of fictitious Pittsburgh film lore. I present...

The casting of French Stewart is inspired
Nady should be played by Patrick Dempsey, not Alec Baldwin.
I think Patrick Dempsey will be on location filming New Orleans Saints: The Movie, playing the role of Tyler Palko
First of all, great post.
Second of all, is it just me, or does Doumit have dead eyes. I love the guy as a player, but his eyes show up black on t.v. Creeps me out.
LOL............
Poor Paul Maholm. He's a dead-ringer for Terry from Reno 911.
Jason Bay still looks like Beaker, and the McLouth/Sunshine thing is a little odd.
Little known fact, the kid in the S.O.A.D. "Arials" video grew up to be Ryan Doumit
Hilarious.
But Nate McLouth should be played by "Dutch", Body-Bag Johnny's best friend from the Cobra-Kai.
Y'know, "Well well, if it isn't Danielle."
Dead-Ringing Doppleganger if y'ask me.
No thanks needed.
What? No photo of Kareem as Roger Murdock? "LISTEN KID. I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night. Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes...."
been waiting for this for quite some time. bravo
Hahahahaha Bautista as Dumbo
Nate McLouth should be played by Jason Michaels and Jason Michaels should be played by Nate McLouth.

Grabow should be played by Jim Rome.
If only Rodney Dangerfield were still around. Talk about the perfect Florian.
