Luckily it was the first sunny day of Spring and myself, Steph and Linda did not need to bundle up.
Linda gave Steph and I our very own Pittsburgh Pirate hair-bows. (look closely)
of course, you cannot tailgate without mimosas!!!
The view from our seats. NICE!
The game went into extra innings, so Linda and I had to venture to Rivertowne Brewing Hall of Fame Club to have some liquid refreshment.
Pirates win 1 - 0 over the Cubs.
Watch this video forwarded from Tom..
Always plunder the lox.
If there’s one piece of knowledge to take away from ESPN’s newest “This Is SportsCenter” ad, it’s that Andrew McCutchen loves his brined salmon.
The Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder recently made his first ESPN commercial appearance, leading a band of pirate mascots on a daring raid into John Anderson’s breakfast meeting.
McCutchen’s crew consisted of Pee Dee the Pirate of East Carolina, Captain Fear of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Seton Hall Pirate. They showed no mercy whatsoever as they stormed into the gathering and ransacked its bounty of tasty vittles. The Seton Hall Pirate even grabbed Anderson’s presentation board, which could be bartered for grog or other booty.
Like any captain worth his salt, McCutchen appeared in the midst of the pillaging with a parrot at his shoulder. He and Pittsburgh’s Pirate Parrot were quick to ensure no valuable treasure went unlooted.
After a quick survey of the scene, McCutchen spotted the crown jewel of the feast.
“The lox,” McCutchen said. “Plunder the lox.”
And that, my friends, is how you make a commercial. McCutchen delivered his brief lines perfectly, sealing the deal on a spot Pittsburgh Pirates fans are sure to love.
