Official Game Thread - 9/5 - Bucs vs Nats

[Surgnbuck]

O'Neil Cruz one AB too late to break up a no hitter

[Possum]

Let's go Nats. Sweep the series so the Bucs will have no choice but to fire Shelty and GMBC

[Surgnbuck]

Block informing us the Nats lineup isn't their regulars.

And Falter gives up Nasim Nunez first career extra base hit

Our pitchers are all about firsts

[Wildwoodcoach]

How many more games will you be going too?

Friday and the final home game against the Brewers. We're in the home plate club seats Friday, so be sure to look for us!

I will be looking for the guy giving Shelton the finger!!

Carol is impressed that you will be sitting in the home plate club seats.

[Possum]

The Bucs are screwing up my wish for Shelty and GMBC to be fired by scoring 5 unanswered runs. Now for the Buc bullpen to give back those 5 and add more.

Don't you have a Mrs. Possum to snuggle up to? Wishing ill will by losing is no way to go through life young man.

Besides, not all of us are down on GMBC.

AND....I have home plate seats tomorrow night, could you at least throw me a bone, and just be satisfied with a 1-3 series instead of a sweep?

I hope they have something good, but it won't matter because they have the jumbo hot dogs for free, candy for free, pop corn for free. Whatever hoi palloi they serve at dinner is secondary.

one thing we know is that no lead is safe with this team.

That's from trading out of my seats into the cheaper seats. I get credit for doing that, and use the credits to sit in home plate club seats once every year. One of the few perks still available to STH, Pirates are very generous in exchanging tickets rules. I loved when they used to let us bank the tickets, but this is pretty close.

So yeah, all those Saturday games in the summer that were 1 and 4 oclock starts for MLB and their television partners, I just moved them down into the first level back by the concourse in the shade. Huge price difference also exchanging the weekend tickets for Mon-Thurs tickets also. Adds up pretty quick. Only thing is, you have to use all the credits, or you lose them. I did a stellar job this season managing my tickets.

Speaking of which, my ticket prices went up 5.7 percent for next season. They also cut the payment plan down from 8 months to 7 months. But, interest free. I posted a thread on Reddit asking STH what their increases were, but the Pirates sub is full of trolls and jack wagons, just a bunch of guys replied STH are the problem, why would you give Bob money, yadda yadda yadda. One guy did reply he said his went up somewhere between 2 and 3 percent.

Point is, they are jacking up ticket prices beyond the current inflation rate, there is going to be insane levels of heat on ownership if they don't open up the vault some for next season.

Grandal just keeps hitting.

Bucs up 6-3 after a Joe double, advance to third on a throwing error, Grandal single

[Surgnbuck]

Strange double play, but it is the Nats and Pirates playing.
