I used to grind those horrendous flash games on the Disney channel website for hours to try to get my name on TV with the other high scores. I thought if I did then Lizzie McGuire might go out with me.
There should not be a world where you can take your family of four to a Mets or Twins game for the same price as a single Pirates ticket and yet here we are. I hope the players like playing in front of nobody.
Lot of doubters or people believing it’s just due to resale value, so I looked up home teams playing in their regular night game window tonight. I looked on each team’s website for the cheapest seated ticket available (no SRO)…
You want to know why people aren’t going to Pirates games? They have absolutely no reason in the world for being the 6th most expensive ticket in baseball.
Pirates are charging $39 to get in the door tonight. The only teams higher are the Blue Jays, Dodgers, and Red Sox at the highest at $48.25.
Brewers are the only other division rival at home tonight and they’re at $23. The average is $27.68.
New Pirates uniforms are interesting, but I feel like they’re only reincorporating the red so that the Sheetz logo doesn’t stand out as offensively as it normally does.

Felt like a forgettable year, but maybe it’s just the home viewing penalty.
Our family has gotten just a little bit bigger! Our baby girl is finally here and we are so blessed. I am so grateful for my beautiful wife and her strength which has now brought us two little miracles.
