Swing and a Miss?


It'll be interesting to see how many baseball fans will walk out after the third inning at PNC Park tomorrow to show displeasure with the team's ownership and management. (who are doing their darnedest BTW to keep announcers from blathering on about it.)
Of course, I love a good protest... and there has certainly been enough publicity surrounding the one planned for tomorrow's Pirates game in Pittsburgh.

The Post Gazette Survey asked:


If you attend Saturday's game, will you participate in the walkout?

Yes: 75% No: 25%

Total votes: 14,079


John McIntire over at MacYapper passed along this interesting piece of trivia concerning one of the speakers... former Pirate Dock Ellis. Not that it is appropo to anything, but it makes for interesting reading. Maybe Pirates management can lobby their congressman to make LSD legal.

You should read Dorothy Mantooth Is A Saint! They referenced that tired old Dock Ellis nugget a day before McIntyre did.

Maybe you should link to the Mantooth? It could replace the Van Morrison link below that doen't work... :)
