Pittsburgh

As promised, the members of this blog will be taking some road trips this season and covering the games we attend. The first of these road trips will be on June 30 to Pittsburgh, PA to visit the Pirates' PNC Park as they take on the Cubs. The Bucs will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of the opening of Forbes Field and are offering general admission bleacher seats for a mere four dollars.

Peter, Thomas, and I will be in the City of Champions on Tuesday, June 30 and will bring you the recap a day or so after the game.

The Steelers squeaked out a win to bring home the NFL's top piece of hardware.  The Pens battled the Red Wings to get the same from the NHL.

Big Ben and company are always a huge hit in the 'Burgh. Sidney and Gino are rising superstars.

All is well in "The City of Champions."

Or is it?

For the Pittsburgh Pirates, who are trying to keep from setting the Major League record for consecutive losing seasons, it's not.
