Working Wives & Bachelorettes: Let's Go Bucs!

So last night I went to the Pirate game with my hubby. Although I’m not a huge baseball fan, I was really looking forward to going all day. My husband absolutely LOVES the sport and watches every game on TV (not just the Pirates but literally every baseball game that might be on TV), has one of those “business man special” season ticket packages and a fantasy team that he watches and nurtures all hours of the day. At times I find it to be terribly annoying and other times, I find it endearing.

So how did I end up going to the game?

My husband’s best friend and fellow season ticket holder, wasn’t able to go last night so I was asked and said yes. I haven’t been to a game yet this season and lately my hubby and I have been having a blast together and I wanted to keep the momentum rolling. Besides…the ballpark has cotton candy, hot dogs, peanuts, dip n dots and beer which, was especially delicious on last night’s muggy night in the ‘burgh.

We got to the seats and they were awesome. They were close to the field on the third base line and it was one of those rows of seats that just had four seats. We settled in to watch the game. However, things didn’t go quite the way I thought they would. Have you been to a game lately? I feel like because the Pirates have been terrible for so long and people more-or-less stopped going to the games, that they forgot their baseball game manners. Seriously! Not a single person waited till the action stopped before getting up and moving around. They just would stand up as the pitch was being thrown and we would miss what happened. This one guy, he really didn’t get it…to the point where I got snappy at him. After a few innings of dealing with it, we decided to leave our seats. We headed over to the new Budweiser bar (at least that’s what I think it’s called) in the outfield along the first base line. It was really nice and what a way to watch the game! You have a beautiful view of the city and river, you can see the field, they have flat screens everywhere in case watching the game live is boring, they have a lovely liquor selection and the beer selection was MUCH better. So we settled in here to watch game.

I ended up getting a little tipsy and I think the hubby did too. We laughed our asses off. In fact, at one point, we were discussing whether or not the Pirate Parrot considered himself a “furry.” Of course we were at the game just off the heels of the furry convention ending so naturally our conversation went this way. Overall, going to the game last night was super fun and they WON! My point is, if you haven’t given the Bucs a chance yet this season, you should. It was a great night out.
