The Lazy SlawoI didn't really get a chance to check out the last two games, but going today felt great. For the real hard-core Pirate Fans game anemia is torture, and it was rejuvenating to sit in the stand again. It was a good win so I don't feel like analyzing the play on the field but I did notice a couple things sitting in center field for the first time.Nobody told me about the new scoreboard introductions. The Pirates all paint their names and then they are introduced with their painting during their second at bat. Matt Lawton wrote Law-dog on two separate lines with his number around it. It sort of looked like 5LAW0, hence his new nickname today and from now on - Slawo. What really stunned me is how out of it the other Pirates fans were. Two outs, bottom of the tenth, winning run on third. Nobody is standing. I'm up screaming for Ty Wiggington not to make me look like an idiot. I can understand folks not getting up then, it's Ty Wigginton, but when he walks and Sanchez comes up, why is everyone still in their seats. I got about ten people around me to get up and cheer, but it was like getting Tike to catch a fly ball, that is to say more difficult then it should. Was it just a lazy afternoon, or is this part of a general trend? I'll find out tomorrow. posted by Rory at 6:58 PM | |
