As promised, the members of this blog will be taking some road trips this season and covering the games we attend. The first of these road trips will be on June 30 to Pittsburgh, PA to visit the Pirates' PNC Park as they take on the Cubs. The Bucs will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of the opening of Forbes Field and are offering general admission bleacher seats for a mere $4.
Peter, Thomas and I will be in the City of Champions on Tuesday, June 30 and will bring you the recap a day or so after the game.
If any of our readers are in Pittsburgh and will be in the bleacher seats that game, feel free to say hi to us. Look for the guy in the Pirates hat (alternately: the guy with a mohawk) sitting next to the college student that looks like a small child and will probably be wearing a Rays hat and the tall gentleman with one and a half arms who will probably be wearing a Mets hat. A motley crew indeed, but a friendly one. Also, listen for the loudest hecklers. That'll probably be us.
Also, if any of you hypothetical readers who reside in Pittsburgh have any suggestions for things we should do in the city before the game starts, feel free to make suggestions to us in the comments section. Keep in mind, however, that this will be a whirlwind one-day stop. We'll be driving there and back from Muncie, IN the same day, so we probably won't have any time to venture too far from PNC Park.

wow, and i thought i was a fan. but you fellows win the best fan awards! my friend and i have traveled to fl for spring training, columbus to see indy. play, altoona (cuz my folks live there) and this wkend hopefully if the weather holds out, while i'm home at the parent's house i'm planning on going to see state college. oh, and we will be venturing south to wv for a power game on july 25. but each of these (minus the fl trip) are all about 3 hrs. or so away from pittsburgh. you guys rock!
as far as things to do in the burgh - point state park is always nice to see. you can take the clipper from pnc and go up the inclines that over look the city. there are also plenty of bars and eateries along federal st. and if you can, park downtown and walk acoss the clemente bridge - that's a cool experience to see the park during the day and then at night on your way back to your car. while you're at the park, you need to eat some quaker steak and lube wings. if you ever get back to the city and have some time, part of the original outfield call of forbes field is still standing on PITT's campus - you can go over and see it free of charge.
okay i think i've rambled enough.
have fun guys - i'll be at monday night's game in the bleacher reserved area. my ticket rep. was able to get me row a, right behind nyjer -- my friend's boys are pumped!
LET'S GO BUCS!
