I Call Foul: Porcupine-Riders Stacking the Deck

It seems the RailFrogs aren’t so happy with the 3-1 deficit in the IronRail Trophy race.  They’ve convinced the Yankees to lend hot-shot pitcher Michael Pineda and veteran all-star Derek Jeter for Saturday’s game in Moosic versus the IronPigs.  They’ll do ANYTHING to get that trophy!

A couple other things I noticed:  Of the eight IronPigs games in Moosic, six are on weekend nights and all are during “primetime” for minor league baseball, July and August.  No Tuesdays in April up there.  All Saturdays and Sundays save two.  I accept the challenge.  I say we travel up there for a bunch of them!

Oh, and here’s another thing:  The Trolley-Yankees will be visiting us again August 19-20 and August 30-31.  I say we arrange for an EriK Kratz rehab and a Roy Halladay rehab along in there someplace.  That’ll fix ’em!

…

OK, OK, coming back down now.  I’m kidding.  Mostly.  The MLB teams couldn’t care less about our little rivalry.  The Porcu-Rail-Yankee-Frogs would love to have us come up and purchase $4 sodas.  It’s all in good fun.  But as you may recall, I have a bunch of tickets for tomorrow’s game, and some of my guests are in the process of backing out.  If you  wanna go, please follow along on Twitter as I’ll be out of cell range (I know, right?) most of the early part of the day.  I’ll post availability via internet when I have access.  If they’re available they will be free.  Also, if you’re already going, please get there early.  If memory serves, there’s one access road, and it gets jammed.  The lot will fill and they’ll park off-site.  Doors open early at 5PM.  Also, there MIGHT be some tailgating going on–depending on how the day goes.  Look for the IronPigs and NoiseNation flags.  Listen for the bells!  Go Pigs!

See you at the PNC Park Field
