So, in a week end where hotel occupancy would ordinarily be low due to the holiday, Hotels, bars and restaurants were packed. It also happened to be a hockey match up with the Penguins and the Fliers. Pittsburgh beat the visiting Philadelphia fans at both venues on Saturday. Oh what fun.
Micheal Mchenry scored the winning run in the bottom of the 10th, 2-1

The rubber game of the baseball match up is today, and it is also a sell out. Three sell outs in three games (is this really Pittsburgh?)

Let's go Bucs

Nothing like a in-state rivalry to bring in commerce! I like the Pirates and hope they have a much better season than last.
