went to the ol bucco game last night! when i left 7th-ish (i think right after the pirates batted around the order) it was 12-2... i definitely don't "re-cap" games (esp. around playoff hockey time), so don't ask me how or why 4 more runs were scored... but in the grand scheme of things, the pirates were there wearing uniforms and everything... i mean, won . big whoop! nice night, no fans, dippin' dots, what more could you ask for, right? what's that, winning team, what?!? come again?!?! *cough, cough*
so that brought up a question in my head and in conversation with co-worker "the b.e.".
the penguins are playing friday night in the first game of the east finals against the hated flyers... a game that should traditionally "set the tone"... a must see game (NO more game-hype needed!!!)! so, our fearless pirates are playing the boys from the ATL... now, you KNOW there will be a few fans (at least) at the pirates game... so my question: WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE??? who misses the penguins game for a pirate game?!?! i would LOVE a local news station to sit outside of PNC park friday night and ask this very question to people either at the game, or leaving in the 7th as i did last night! i really don't even want to break down my opinion of what percentage of fans are 1) employees of the pirates 2) out of towners who's life long dream is to catch a game in PNC park 3) atlanta fans 4) just plain stupid! really, i hate to be SO harsh... but c'mon! at some point friday night, i WILL flip over to the pirates game just to catch a quick glimpse of PNC parks attendance... probably in an intermission... probably to avoid don cherry and his "tough-guy, canadians rule-except for the canadians that play in america" rants! and that flash wardrobe he's always sportin' around!
anyways... they WILL come! just who "they" are??? we shall only be left to wonder...
