I know that thier dad took them to the game last night. As for their relentlessness at PNC, your right. They were up on that tower with thier blankets for the entire game both on Friday and Saturday night. In fact, because we were planning to buy the fieldbox seats on Sunday, after having sat in the upperdeck on Friday and Saturday, we told the kids that we'd buy them bleacer seats on Sunday if they planned on hanging their blankets again. We didn't want to waste perfectly good money on seats they weren't going to use!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-34509274502560894242007-07-02T23:51:00.000-04:002007-07-02T23:51:00.000-04:00Mike Edgar: Sohna and I talked about those blanket...Mike Edgar: Sohna and I talked about those blankets both nights we were at PNC Park because the Kids waving them were relentless. They stood there the entire game. <BR/><BR/>In fact, tonight (Monday)--AT RFK Stadium, Sohna and I saw a few kids in the Centerfield Upper Deck with the same blankets at the Cubs Game. Are they nephews also? That's funny. <BR/><BR/>Sorry we didn't see you at PNC. Maybe sometime soon.Screech's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01094199653375184305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-45273969295841680792007-07-02T22:44:00.000-04:002007-07-02T22:44:00.000-04:00SBF,I chuckled when I saw your photo of the banner...SBF,<BR/><BR/>I chuckled when I saw your photo of the banner ("MLB's worst owners") on the tower out by the left-field foul pole. If you look at the very top, you'll see 3 Nationals blankets (2 red and 1 blue) hanging over the rail. Those are my 3 nephews up there hanging the blankets. They did so for all 3 games, and apparently (according to family members who stayed home and watched the games on TV) logged quite a bit of camera time on MASN, particularly for Friday night's game. My sister tivo'd the games, so I'm looking forward to finding out what Bob's and Don's comments were when the camera panned over to my nephews.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-2739736841532684242007-07-02T01:35:00.000-04:002007-07-02T01:35:00.000-04:00Paul--Of course--Nats Gear.

At the end of Friday night's game, PNC did a very funny parody of the final scene of The Sopranos featuring, among other things, an earring-wearing perogie trying to parallel-park a Pirates truck like Meadow Soprano. When the whole scene went to black, the fireworks show started. Great ballpark and good fans -- I hope we can experience the same thing in our new ballpark.Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016594622077155289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-56764744238413420092007-07-01T10:03:00.000-04:002007-07-01T10:03:00.000-04:00SBF-My wife and I have been to PNC Park a few time...SBF-My wife and I have been to PNC Park a few times now. Its our most enjoyable place to watch a baseball game. We haven't been to San Francisco's Park yet. Thanks for the review and comments. Glad you and The African Queen had a great time. Baseball is all about the experiences--as you mentioned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-19426658005556436592007-07-01T10:00:00.000-04:002007-07-01T10:00:00.000-04:00Jim: Thanks for sharing PNC is just a special pla...Jim: Thanks for sharing PNC is just a special place. The River Walk is very nice.
