June Pirate Games

Wed Jun 02,7:05PM EDT - Cubs at Pirates 2 seats:
- Got six tickets for my birthday and invited everyone I knew. Mike, Pat, Jimmy, and Chris showed up. Weather was beautiful until a few minutes after 7 when we noticed the game hadn't started. Around 7:15 the thunder and lightening started and a vicious storm came through. Abbie and Lisa said that there were tornado warnings. Left around 8:30 and the game was eventually postponed until later. Probably will be cancelled unless the Pirates or Cubs end up in a meaningful pennant race.

- Sam is taking Natalie to see Collective Soul. I had them on StubHub for a couple of days and they didn't sell.
Sun Jun 06,1:35PM EDT - Giants at Pirates 2 seats Turned Back.  Decided to go to game anyways so I used 2  credits to  get the seats back.  Nathaniel and I tried to ride our bikes to the game but I got a flat tire.  Never made it.

Good game, Milledge needed a HR for the cycle and Alvarez got his first hit.
