Pirates Make 2 Trades.

1. Pirates trade Eric Hinske to the New York Yankees for 2 minor-leaguers.
2. Pirates trade Nyjer Morgan and Sean Burnett to the Washington Nationals for Lastings Milledge and John Hanrahan.

I really do not feel like writin' alot about this. I think the Morgan/Burnett trade was a good trade for the Pirates.

6/15/09- Penguins Victory Parade!

My cousin Josh came down from Columbiana, Ohio to go to the parade with me. We left my house a little after 9am, and we got to Pittsburgh around 9:45. We first got food to eat at Wendy's, and after we ate we walked around Pittsburgh, and we went over to PNC Park and bought 2 tickets for the August 6th game vs. Arizona Diamondbacks. After we bought those tickets we went to find a decent spot to watch the parade from, so we got as close to the screen as we could, and there were people everywhere.
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Yes I mean everywhere.
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
I heard that there were an estimated 350,000 people at the parade, thats more people than at Woodstock!

Before the parade had started my cousin Josh was interviewed by a guy from the Pittsburgh Tribune Review, and he will be in the paper.

Below are some of the pictures I took at the parade.

and the stage.

Also after the parade while walkin' around Pittsburgh for a little bit, there was a guy with a really cool sign.
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Really awesome. The only cup Hossa is gonna touch is Zetterberg's.

The parade was awesome even though I could barely see, and Josh could not see at all, but still took some good pictures. It was a hot day, some people passed out, and I heard that there was a fight. Next year "when" the Penguins go back to back and win the cup again, I will be downtown for the parade at like 6am.

Also I made a video of the crowd, and me with the Lets Go Pens chant.

6/13/09- Pirates vs. Tigers

Well first off, I went to get autographs from Pirates players at the Robinson Mall around 10am, and I got 5 autogrpahs (Matt Capps, Bob Walk, Brandon Moss, Steven Jackson, Ross Ohlendorf).
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
I did get a few pictures of the players signin' autographs, but my phone is wont let me upload them on to my computer.

So I got to PNC Park around 2:50, bought my ticket, got some food to eat, and around 4 I went to get in line. At 4:30 when the gates opened I ran over to the Section 140 gate, and I saw the Pirates on the field for BP, I saw Jason Jaramillo pick up a ball, and I yelled "Jason, can you throw me that ball please", so then he threw the ball, it bounced off a garbage can in front of the gate, and a usher came over, and he handed me the ball.
Below is a picture of Pirates BP.

So around 5 or so, I ran over to the Left Field bleachers, and tried for another ball, I was over there around 10 minutes or so, and John Grabow picked up a ball and threw it right to me.
Below a picture of John Grabow

And then the Tigers came out onto the field for BP, so I switched into my Tigers shirt I stayed in the Bleachers for around 10 minutes, but no Tigers players over there would throw me a ball, so I went back over to Section 140, at 5:30 when the gate to go into Section 140 opened, I ran down and stood in the first row. I caught a BP home run off the bat of an unknown Tigers player, I caught the ball on the fly it went right into my glove.

Before BP ended I got this picture.

Pittsburgh Penguins Win Stanley Cup!

YES! The Pittsburgh Penguins have won their 3rd Stanley Cup!!


June 12th 2009= Greatest Day Ever!

Take that Hossa!

Below is a picture of Sidney Crosby with the Stanley Cup
Image and video hosting by TinyPic

And I watched the game with some friends at a convenience store down road from my house, Deli Mart. It was a fun way to watch the game, really it was.

Max Talbot scored both goals for the Penguins, and Marc-Andre Fleury played one hell of a game.

I ordered a Stanley Cup Champions shirt from NHL.com, but I wont get it until next week.
My original Stanley Cup Finals prediction was right, I was so happy when the game was over, and Crosby lifted the cup in Detroit (in front of their fans) just like the Red Wings lifted the cup in Mellon Arena in 2008.

I am already so excited for next hockey season to start.

Kennywood- 6/11/09

A bunch of my friends and I went to Kennywood, and I took a few pictures (until my phone died), so here are those 4 pictures.

The ride I rode about 20 times, Pitt Fall.

My friends and I were in line for the Thunderbolt, and it started to rain, so they closed the ride, and they said that we could stay in line and wait for it to reopen, then later she said "you best go ride somethin' else", but then later we all got back in line, and I got the picture below, and we got to ride it.

The Slingshot is a pretty fun ride.

For a while it rained, more like poured, and I took a pictures of the puddles.
Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Im not a huge fan of Kennywood, but its fun when your with people who can make it fun. I had a great time at Kennywood with my friends.

The Rest of the 2009 MLB Season

I have not been to a baseball game since 5/14/09, and have not been to a Pirates game since 5/5/09, and it does not look like I will be a PNC Park in June, but maybe, who knows. I did have plans to go to the June 4th Mets @ Pirates game at PNC Park, but im not goin' now, but I will be at Mellon Arena on June 4th to watch Game 4 of Stanley Cup finals on the big screen outside the arena. There is a good chance I will be at the Nationals @ Orioles game on June 27th. Also I do have plans to go to the July 18th game at PNC Park when the Pirates play the San Francisco Giants, and then at PNC Park on August 3rd when the Pirates play the Washington Nationals, and the game on my birthday, September 7th at PNC Park vs. Chicago Cubs. Those might not be the only games I will be at the rest of this season, and there is a chance I might not go to those games, but who knows yet.
