Well the games in Pittsburgh so unfortunately that won’t happen.

I'll be there Friday and Saturday. Had to jump on tickets this afternoon. The prices are going crazy and there’s rain in the forecast

That’s false. I follow MLB closely and Skenes’ impending call up has been a very high profile topic amongst casual fans and diehards alike. This is a big deal in the world of baseball

I had adopted the Pirates in late 70s with Tekulve, Canyman, Stargell and Parker. It’s been a long dry spell except for a little excitement in early 90s w Bonds, Bonilla, VanSlyke


My Grandfather was from Pittsburgh. I was raised a Pirates fan. Willie Stargell & Kent Tekulve are my two favorite ballplayers of all time.

remember those hard baseball hats you could get in the 70s? My aunt took us to a store to pick one out. My brother was a fan of the big red machine, so I just picked the team that I recognized as beating them sometimes. Voila!!!a Pirates fan I became

had a date I was so excited for go out to Chelsea’s. It was Christmas time, they were passing the mic to sing Christmas songs. I snatched it up and drunkenly started screeching Jingle Bells but could not remember anything but the first little verse. I just kept hollering it over and over. It was a short lived relationship

Sucks it’s against the Cubs. Love Skenes and what he did for LSU but I hope he gets rocked on Saturday.

Go Cubs Go!!
