That would be Brooks Orpik showing America how you play defense. Just in case you missed it he did it 3 more times in a total span of 15 seconds. Tomorrow night is going to be a slugfest and I’ll be loving every minute of it from F balcony. Up first though is softball practice [...]

Didn’t think I’d get it in did ya? What do you expect when the Pens are playing in the Stanley Cup Finals? *SHEESH* They won tonight btw, 3-2
Great Lakes has always been a favorite brewery of mine since I started into craft beer. Yeah i know, it’s close to where I’m from but [...]

I’ve taken my fair share of shots at Danny Onorato for the blatantly idiotic drink tax that he rushed into service so it shocked me, no wait, it amazed me that certain city council members had a fit about proposed banners that were to be hung downtown on Fifth Avenue Place in support of the [...]

I love 3 Sons Dogs & Suds and spend a lot of time there. If your first thought is “man you’re just tieing one on!”, stop reading now because you’re a tool. The store has become a second home for me because of the people who work there and patrons I hang out with. OK, [...]

It’s been a few weeks so what do I do on my first day back… happy hour of course! Lushie and I actually went to dinner at Mad Mex tonight and since it was during happy hour I had to take advantage of the specials. Honestly the $7 for a pint (16oz) seems VERY high [...]

That sums up my Saturday night. For those not native to SWPA’s game of cornholing I’m sure you have a nice perverted image in your heard right now. It’s a game similar to horseshoes where you have 2 teams of 2 (one from each on the ends) and you [...]

From my seasonal perch in F balcony yesterday I was a part of history as the Pens destroyed (humiliated and any other word you can come up with for complete destruction) the Philadelphia Flyers 6-0 to win the series ending game of the Eastern Conference Finals and finishing with a 12-2 record thus far in [...]

This kinda ties in with the post on the guide to the playoffs. As in most sports it’s thought of as good luck to put down the razor and let the scruff grow in. The NHL has one of the longest playoff seasons (The NBA is longer but that’s not a real sport) so it’s [...]

Today would have been my dad’s 74th birthday and I’ve made a habit of driving to Erie and have a cigar with him at the cemetery. Today though it’s pouring down rain and the motor on my wipers is just about shot so I’m staying home and taking a day for myself. Yeah, and I’m [...]

It can’t go unnoticed that Penguins mania is all over Pittsburgh. As a lifelong Pens fan it’s refreshing to see people wearing something other than a Steelers jersey. If you’re not from the Pittsburgh area, a Steelers jersey is considered by many as acceptable form of clothing for ANY [...]
