Well, guess we beat you in something more than just hockey:

paul harvey did a piece on this last friday. said that if you didn't get it, your views of pittsburgh are about 10 years outdated.
he did not say 'pittsburgh rocks your face', which i'm sure we all agree that would've been quite appropriate.

Haha yea, if you’re an ... expatriate executive.
What the, haha?
I am still bitter about the playoffs. I hope the Penguins bounce back next season and play solid throughout the entire season as opposed to starting off so sluggish (until Malkin came).

That's actually pretty close to an actual list of the World's Most Livable Cities. Unfortunately the US doesn't have like any in the top 25. Canada has a few.

the second baseball game i ever went to was pittsburgh vs. the cubs.
rookie year of barry bonds.
my dad and i had tickets 2 rows up first base side. before the game barry was playing catch near us. i told him he was my favorite player and wanted the ball he was playing catch with. (i just wanted the ball).
he said 'yeah right kid. fuck off' and went into the dugout.
i've hated him ever since.

Yea, Ottawa was pretty high. How can any Canadian City be so high with your weather, haha!
I always liked this Paul Harvey quote, “Our marriage is the way every good marriage should be. I rule the roost and Angel rules the rooster.”
P.S. Was that blaw on another name, haha?

hahaha, please say that is true kOna!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, Mr. melq, heheh
I've found that the weather is crappy, but not all that bad. Many people like the changing of the seasons, apparently. And it's not terribly windy or anything, we just have long winters sometimes.
The summer is quite hot though, so it doesn't matter.

k0na, I think you just mistook jevad for Barry.

I used to go to Pirates games at Three Rivers Stadium for a dollar.
It cost more to hop on the bus to get there and back, haha.

that's a true story flavor.
i think barry was pissed anyways cause a bunch of the cubs fans were giving him a hard time while he was playing catch and he just snapped at me.
when i asked a bunch of the fans that had been giving him a hard time were like 'comon man, don't be a dick, give him the ball' and he just snapped.
my dad got super pissed that he told a 10 year old to fuck off. the guy next to my dad threw a full beer at the dugout and was escorted out from the game.
i remember that game like it was yesterday.
i hate barry bonds. haha.

haha, awesome k0na.
although it probably sucked for you at that time.

Jim Leyland has been the only coach he has ever had who would not put up with his shit (well who would snap back at least).
My great Aunt Peg was/is friends with him (Jim Leyland) he is a great guy.

at first read i thought kona's dad said that. now THAT would've been a sweet family memory.
"the old man grabbed me by the shirt and said, 'come on, smoke up johnny.'".

Props to the guy who threw a beer at the dug out by the way.
I would have just razzed Barry something awful the rest of the game.
Whenever I am at stadiums, I make it a point not to swear during my chants.
However, I do use the actual word EXPLETIVE!
"CHOKE UP ON YOUR EXPLETIVE BAT SANCHEZ!!! WHAT THE EXPLETIVE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING WITH TWO MEN ON?!"
Haha, it gets chuckles and parents give me nods of approval. I also yell at whoever I am with if they swear.
I am an enigma wrapped within a paradox that is weaved together with a riddle.
- Jaline0
haha, flavor, you're too funny.
I bet parents love you...until they see their ravished daughters...
- k0na_an0k0
yeah we had no idea who the dude was next to us, he was just pissed barry told a kid to f off.
barry had a shit game that day too and the cubs ended up winning the game.
yeah i gotta real problem with guys who swear at a game. there are kids around ya know. watch your mouth.
the games i go to now i sit in the wives and family section so it gets extra interesting when some south side a-hole starts laying into one of the players who's family happens to be sitting nearby. the fans almost always get tossed after the first expletive tirade.
one of the pitchers fathers went up to a guy once and threw his beer on his 'on accident'. it was awesome.

Haha, I can turn the charm on when parents are involved.
G-d help any kid who talks to my daughter.
Actually ...
Haha, what the hell am I going to care, if they are anything like me I’ll be able to tell from a mile away and I’ll probably enjoy watching them work in the new generation.
* Saves this thread and will re-open when my first daughter is born, and again when she turns 14, haha.
- Jaline0
I'm surprised you don't already have a daughter. Or a few.
hahaha, j/k
See, I think you can change your ways somewhat since you're thinking about having a family. Which means something.

Haha, that would be tough to hear your kid getting boo’ed by some bum.
My boo’s to opposing players are almost always self deprecating.
"NICE HIT! I AM BEING SARCASTIC OF COURSE! HOWEVER, I CAN’T EVEN HIT A FAST BALL GOING 60 MPH SO TAKE WHAT I AM SAYING WITH A GRAIN OF SALT!"
