Looks like you got your wish for the second time this year Ben. On the road in Detroit to boot. How are the Pirates looking this year?

Re: Pirates....
My wife and sister participated in a Friends and Family day for the Theodore Rosevelt about two weeks ago and went to sea with them to see fligth ops first hand. So she came back with a bunch of suveniers includeing a tee-shirt for me.
On the front:
a "not sign" over a skull a cross bones.
On the back:
USN 3
Pirates 0
In sudden death overtime
The orignal inspiration was for the Somalian pirates but I have claimed it as a "typical baseball score" in Pittsburgh.

PS: I have a list of rule changes that would make baseball interesting that include;
1) Batter must remain in box once they step in.
2) Pitcher has time limit to deliver pitches otherwise automatic walk.
3) The batter should be allowed to carry the bat.
4) Full-contact kung-fu rules apply to reaching base.
