Pittsburgh

Schell’s going to the beach. Next, Tree will go on her adventure. Where do I get to go this Monday and Tuesday? Pittsburgh—that’s where. I’m going for a business meeting. I got the itinerary today and Monday night we’re going to a Pittsburgh Pirates game. Oh, yay. I don’t like sports but it’s kind of a “have to” thing. So give me reasons why to be interested in a baseball game.

(Did you notice--when I don't have a lot to post, I post it using a BIG FONT.)

hot dogs and beer. Yum, beer!

you might catch a foul ball. For some reason, this is akin to winning the lottery, or discovering that God really does like you. It's an amazing feeling, plus you might make it on national TV; for sure you'll be on some regional network, if only the away team's home market.

You might learn a new cuss word, or an interesting insult.

You'll meet interesting people when you line up to pee; you may have plenty of time to get to know them.

Don't ask me to list the negatives, as I am running short of time...

whenever i go to a baseball game which is not too often, but, i spend most of the time watching the crowd and eating peanuts and drinking beer. you really don't have to watch the game. just watch out for balls.

It's the whole experience, Emma, you don't have to be into baseball to enjoy it. - blu

Rather than staying for the game, stroll down to the Point and reflect upon how the Shawnee felt about that damned fort.

Going anywhere is fun.

I would love to go to a baseball game! Do they really chew tobacco? Will Madonna be getting Rosie O'Donnell out? Am I living in Film Land?

Being there in person is way more fun than watching on tv. The crowd's energy is contagious.

Asses, some (not all) nice asses. Baseball pants fit very tight in the rear, so you can watch those--just watch the good ones. Watching the bad ones can be um less than pleasant.

Clank, I don't think baseball players are allowed to chew tobacco on the field anymore.

the pristes stadium is located on the water, it's a nice spot. the football stadium is neaby. there is a lovely fountain to play in outside the stadium. you can take a duckboat tour of the three rivers, or go to the mall across the street. if you have some time, go to the warhol museum, but skip the porno films that have something to do with john waters, they were icky.

Sitting in the sun and getting to be lazy and the food. I love ball park food.

Don't forget your binoculars if you want to see the asses.
