The Primanti Bro's sandwiches and Iron City beer must have brought us good luck in the 'Burgh.
Free Baseball -- nothing better than getting an extra inning game. It was mostly a pitcher's-duel between Roy Halladay and Zach Duke, with quite a few spectacular defensive web-gems along the way. It was 0-0 heading into extras, when the Pirates loaded the bases in the bottom of the 12th with no outs. I'll tell you how it ended with a little ditty we came up with after the game (to the tune of "Old McDonald"):
John McDonald made an errorBlue Jays shortstop John McDonald missed a bouncer from Jason Michaels that brought home the winning run.

Overall, PNC Park and the view of the city was gorgeous -- I would have to say it's one of the best newer, if not overall, MLB ballparks.
On a completely separate note, happy birthday Mom! I hope you have a wonderful day, sorry I'm not home to celebrate. I wouldn't be the person I am today without your influence, and for that I'm always thankful. Love you.
Mike

There seems to be a common thread in all these blogs - and that would be the word "refreshments". Glad to hear you're not getting dehydrated. What's the plan for Wednesday? Niagara falls? Hopoefully, Adam Dunn will retaliate against the Blue Jay's G.M. this week.
