Pirates and Indians!
In a stirring tribute to Peter Pan, Major League Baseball has scheduled a special interleague series between your Pittsburgh Pirates and the Cleveland Indians this weekend at PNC Park.* And if pirates and indians don’t do it for you there’s another good reason to visit the North Side this weekend. Specifically, there’s a good reason to visit the Mattress Factory on Sunday afternoon. There may be a certain food truck involved between 12 pm and 5 pm. *Please note: The role of the Lost Boys, who never grow up, will also be played by your Pittsburgh Pirates.
A New Season
Happy Baseball Season! On your way to the Buccos game? Stop in and see us, too. Grab a dog to go and enjoy the walk from downtown to PNC Park! Is this the season the Pirates finally put together a winning record? Hope springs eternal. Of course, if Gyro Gearloose lived in Pittsburgh and Huey, Dewey, and Louie cheered for the Pirates, things might turn around in a hurry. But they live in Duckburg and root for the Mallards. At least there are no Beagle Boys in this ‘Burg(h). No idea what I’m talking about? Duck Tales, my friend. In other news, Allegheny County appears to be moving toward a system where restaurant health inspection results are posted online. Go ahead, we’re...
Steroids
I read today that some prominent musicians have been linked to the purchase of illegal performance enhancing drugs, known as steroids. If this is the case they should never be allowed entry into the Baseball Hall of Fame. They should also be made to compete head to head with athletes who have abused steroids in a mental math competition (we need a level playing field) to determine where the real talent lies. Free frankfurters to the winning team!
Two Spectacles for the Price of One!
Last night the band “Styx” played live music amidst fireworks after the “baseball” game at PNC Park. It was quite the spectacle. I put “Styx” in quotations because I know nothing about them other than that they’re very famous and they sing a song called “Mr. Roboto.” Oddly enough, they skipped over that one last night. I put “baseball” in quotations because, well, this is Pittsburgh. Oddly enough, the Pirates won.
Pirates
So here I sit, having just returned from a “Buccos” game, and, believe it or not, our heroes won. I’m not sure I’ve ever witnessed that before. Since, deep down, I’m a Yankees fan that’s really not why I’m writing this post. Instead, I’m writing because tonight it occurred to me that the Pittsburgh Pirates were my host . For that matter, any time I attend any professional “sporting” event the home team is my “host.” So, shouldn’t the boys in the dugout clean the bathrooms as well as clean up the general debris left around the stadium after a game? I mean it is “their house” after all. I clean my house and its bathroom(s) after guest(s) are over. I suppose people in the...
