Weekend Update

An impulsive decision on Tuesday afternoon to drive to Cininnati Wednesday night only added to the convention-aided sleep deprivation this week, but it was entirely worth it (for the game that is)! A shout out has to go out to Jackie and Carl for humoring me, and also to stubhub, for furnishing seats 8th row off the Pirates dugout for twenty something dollars each. As you can see, the place wasn't exactly full... My first Pirates game not only resulted in a win, but will forever be the bookend of the Ross Ohlendorf Era. A few pictures (more here)....
