Original image here at the morning crew’s blog, if you’d like to see her all the way down to her hot knees.
I bet she’d be fun to watch a game with. And hot.

1. This morning I stopped by Get-Go to use my last ever fuel perks from Giant Eagle, because as I said, I am never going in an Iggle again for as long as I live. I had ten cents off per gallon and filled up my SUV to the tune of fifty-two dollars. [...]

The blog. It is bitchy today. Apparently readers are getting taken to old posts as far back as November where lots of you aren’t even realizing you’re reading old posts, which, I’m so glad my writing is memorable.

1. Pens. Pens. Pens. Tonight is the night they figure their shit out. Tonight before the game, someone, maybe Gary Roberts, is going to shake the hockey back into Evgeni Malkin. Slap the fire back into Sidney Crosby. Kick the will back into Marian Hossa.

Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl’s administration said yesterday that sending a police detective with him to Detroit over the weekend was a reasonable concession to security concerns.
“You’re sending him to Detroit with 20,000 rabid Red Wings fans, and you’re not going to send security?” said Public Safety Director Michael Huss.
Mr. Huss said it was his decision [...]

The next time any of you want to take me to task for my general dislike of UPMC’s corporate policies, please remember the other emails I get from UPMC employees complaining that they’ve not seen a cost of living raise in quite a while; please remember that UPMC, rumor has it, is going to ask [...]
