12/6/09- Steelers vs. Raiders
I went to this game with my cousin Josh. We got to Heinz Field around 10am.
We went into this tent that was by the stadium, IT WAS HEATED (yes!)
Josh got schooled in Madden 10 by a Raiders fan, he was a pretty cool guy.
The picture above is the Steelers pre-game radio guys.
Before we entered the stadium I snapped this picture of Josh, throwin' the ball.
The picture above is Tyler Palko(pretty sure lol) he went to the same high school as me, he was waived from the Steelers TODAY!
The next 2 pictures, are of the pre-game warmups
The next picture...
View from my seat Section 143 Row C Seat 8
Above the picture of the "huge" pizza Josh got during the game.
Above, Terrible Towels after Steelers touchdown.
Final score, we lost to the RAIDERS! WTF?!?!
And now a few pictures of us.

Above 4 tickets I collected at the game.

I promise to make more blog posts soon, I have been busy.

My Random Ballhawk Dream

11/16/09- Penguins vs Ducks
I got into downtown Pittsburgh shortly after 4pm, ate some food, and went to the arena.
Like always, I took a picture of the new Consol Energy Center.
I saw some of the Penguins drive up to the arena, I tried to get good pictures, but I only got one good pictures, and it is below.
It is a dark picture, but in the picture that is Mike Rupp and Jay McKee.
In the picture above is Scott Niedermeyer(did I spell that right?)
And below...
The view from my seat, Section F13 Row C Seat 9.
The picture above is of the Bill Guerin fight.
The picture above is just a cool blurry faceoff picture.
In the picture above, do you see the guy in the white shirt?
Well I just had to take a picture of him, because when they played Cotton Eyed Joe, he danced wildly.
And the picture below is my ticket, a ticket I found, and the my IceTime.
And below is a picture of me at the game.
The Penguins won 5-2, and it was a great game to be at, the attendence was 17,052.

Vatos Locos Tour 11/4/09
Ok, this was the best concert ever!
I probably wont be at a better one for the rest of my life.
I did take pictures at the concert, but I have decided not to put them on here.
If you would like to see the pictures I took, check out my Myspace and Facebook they are on there.
And if you dont know the bands at the concert were
Atreyu, Hollywood Undead, Escape The Fate, The Sleeping.
4 awesome bands, and 2 of my favorites.

Pirates Make A "Good" Trade
For once, the Pittsburgh Pirates made a trade that helped them.
The Pirates got infielder Akinori Iwamura from Tampa Bay for Jesse Chavez (in my mind the best Pirates bullpen pitcher last season)
In the last 3 seasons with the Rays, Iwamura has batted .281, with only 14 HR, and 104 RBI, 29 SB, he missed time last year with an injury, and played in only 69 games. Iwamura will turn 31 before next season. He is not the best player the Pirates could have got, but he is good, and is a great addition to this Pirates team.

This NFL Season
Well, so far in this 2009 NFL season, there has been some surprises.
First surprise...the Detroit Lions actually won a game.
Second surprise...Tennessee Titans are winless (see last post)
Thrid surprise...How well Jets rookie QB Mark Sanchez has played, but he did have a game where he threw 5 INTs.
Fourth surprise...Brett Farve is still a great QB, even at an older age (not really a shock, but I wanted to put this in here.)
Also so far this NFL season, there has been stuff that most of us thought are knew was gonna happen, like...
The Cleveland Browns still are one of the WORST teams in the NFL.
The Pittsburgh Steelers still are awesome.
and...
Tom Brady is still a whiney QB.
That is all for now, another post soon.

Tennessee Titans
So far this season, the Tennessee Titans have a record of 0-6. Last season week 16(?) the Tennessee Titans beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, and then some Titans players stepped on a Terrible Towel, and since then the Titans have not won a game (except in pre-season they were 3-2).

Pittsburgh Pirates Season In Review- 2009
The Pirates finished the 2009 MLB season with a record of 62-99.
So it is 17 consecutive years of non-playoff under .500 baseball for the Pirates.
The Pirates made some trades this year, dumb trades, but the trades are for the teams' "future"
2009 Team Leaders
HR: Garrett Jones- 21
RBI: Andy LaRoche- 64 (Wow, pathetic)
AVG: Garrett Jones- .293
At-Bats: Andy LaRoche- 524
Hits: Andy LaRoche- 135
Runs: Andrew McCutchen- 74
Doubles: Andy LaRoche- 29
Triples: Andrew McCutchen- 9
BB: Andrew McCutchen- 54
SB: Andrew McCutchen- 22
PITCHERS
Wins: Zach Duke/Ross Ohlendorf- 11
ERA: Steven Jackson- 3.14
Games: Jesse Chavez- 73
SV: Matt Capps- 27
IP: Zach Duke- 213
K: Paul Maholm- 119
Look through all of the Pirates stats for 2009, and decide who the best player on the Pirates is this year. I say Andy LaRoche.

10/2/09- Penguins vs Rangers (Season Opener)
Greatest hockey game I was ever at, and I wasnt even in the arena.
I watched this game outside the arena on the big screen.
When I got to Mellon Arena, I took a picture of the new Consol Energy Center.
After that I found my place near the big screen, I got closer to the screen than I thought I would be. Then it started to rain, and it rained for a while.
The picture above was taken by me in my poncho while the rain was comin' down.
Before the game started, the Stanley Cup banner was raised, and I got a nice picture.
The picture below is my view of the game from the outside on the screen.
The picture is the amount of Pens fans that were outside for this game.
Durin' the 1st intermission I walked over to Steelheads Wine Bar at the Marriot Hotel, to sit down amd get a drink, and on my way to the arena I took the picture below.
Pretty cool, eh?
Now the awesome pictures start!
THE STANLEY CUP!
And below,
Yes, that is me with the Stanley Cup!
October 2nd 2009 = GREASTEST DAY EVER!
Before the game started the guys some KissFM threw some Penguins t-shirts into the outside crowd, and I caught one, the picture is below.
After the game ended they shot off fireworks like it was the 4th of July, and I walked around the arena TWICE, to look for a dropped ticket stub, I wanted to find one so bad, cause I am a ticket collector.

McLouth or McCutchen
Okay, who is the better CF, Nate McLouth or Andrew McCutchen.
Before the Pirates traded Nate McLouth in June, his stats where:
.256 AVG 9 HR 34 RBI 7 SB, and since his trade to the Braves his stats have been just about the same with 9 HR and 34 RBI and a .259 AVG, with 12 SB.
After McLouth was traded, Andrew McCutchen was called up from AAA since then McCutchen has had, .283 AVG 12 HR 54 RBI 18 SB.
So, who do you think is better?
I say Andrew McCutchen.

9/20/09- Pirates vs Padres
This was my last game of the season :(
So I had to make this game a good one.
I got to the stadium about 15 minutes before the gates opened at 11am for the 1:35pm start. Every Sunday home game for the Pirates is a kids day, so there was gonna be alot of kids at this game. My first ball came from Virgil Vasquez and my second ball was thrown to me by Evan Meek.
Before BP ended I took the picture below.
Picture below is the view from my seat.
Section 124 Row Q Seat 1
Below are pictures I took at this game.
Ryan Doumit
Adrian Gonzalez
Andrew McCutchen
Paul Maholm
David Eckstein
The Padres beat the Pirates 4-0, I left the game early, so I could go home and watch the Steelers game, which they lost 17-14.
2 balls at this game.
11 balls this season.
8 games this season.
1.37 balls per game.
19 total MLB baseballs.
After I left the game, I took this picture of me below.
