BASEBALL!

Justin Verlander pitched a two-hitter and eight innings. They put in the closer Jose Valverde and he blew the save! Tigers ended up winning in the bottom of the 9th, but still! I have always thought Valverde is over-rated as a closer. I hope to god this isn't a sign of things to come. :/

The Philadelphia Phillies fans came to town to watch the cross state rivalry
with Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh travel Bureua reported when the Pirate tickets went on sale, Philadelphia bought 8,000 for each of the three game series. Seems Philly fans can not get tickets to their own home games.

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.

Opening the season by taking two of three from Philly is a great start. Andrew McCutchen provided the walk off in the bottom of the ninth today.
FUN FUN FUN (even if it was freezing)

It makes me crazy when a starter does his job and a closer doesn't! Have to say that the Giant's "Beard" (Brian Wilson) is one hell of a closer but when he has an off day (very rarely), it is soooooo hard to watch!!

players need that fun during rain delays. they love to interact with other teams. i know a tournament can bring lots of that interaction. youth, girls love the circle clap game. i've heard little sally walker so much, ... whew lol. memories are made for sure. i'm too serious at times, i don't particularly like it. but you gotta let them try do something with the boredom of a rain delay.

dominique, enjoyed the video. if don't comment on both teams being from mississippi, i will explode lol.
