My guys have lost 4 straight. They have dropped to second place in the division. And after this we head to Phillie? Oy.
Time for the rally caps or something.

The Bo Sox fans have some strange loyalty! Hats inside out.....saw that alot until top of the ninth and then Jr. Ortiz came up to bat and *The Hammer* got him to ground out weakly right to first base (Ortiz didn't even run it out) Pittsburgh does not like that, and they booed him, BUT, the bo sox fans took their shirts off, turned them inside out and put them back on!!! We've never seen that before and many Pirate fans were High fiving each other after that. LOL!!!
At the beginning of the game, they announced Tim Wakefields name, and the whole place errupted with applause. The last time he played for us, was the last time we had a winning season. He looked the same (just a little fat around the middle) And, for the record, last night was the largest crowd ever at PNC park. It was a great game, and alot of fun.
They sold an unbelievable amount of standing room only seats. We had three Bo sox fan's standing right behind our box seats. So my sweetie and I shared our seats, you know, rotated thru (it was a Dad, a teen about 14 and another one 11 or 12) and the younger guy knew his baseball. (as do I) so I was having alot of fun with him and we didn't mind sharing the seats, gave everyone a chance to stand, sit....blah blah blah....anyhow, the Dad bought us Ice Cream Cones (for being nice) I haven't had ice cream in ages, as I don't eat like that, but let me tell you.......that just may be part of my baseball experience! However, the sugar (and the adrenaline) kept me awake half the night, and alarm Kat wanted me up at 5.......(yawn) getting ready to go to game three.......trying to pick out what broom to take! (lol) ~
Lets' Go Pirates~ (and don't take those Philly's lightly, they are GOOD!)
