Pirates Caravan = good

 

[goaliegallagher]

I'll be hitting the one in Morgantown tuesday, and I hope it is good. I have 4 Capps, 6 Gorzelanny, 6 McLouth, 3 Russell, and 5 Walk, and would LOVE it if I walked away with them all having ink on them. I'll post results tuesday night. I REALLY love the fact that they are coming to Morgantown, b/c the Dick's they are going to is only about 5 minutes from my apartment, which is wonderful service...lol. Too bad the Penguins don't come down this far.

Anyway, I'll be sure to post how I do tuesday night...

Just a heads up if anyone is going to the Friday night (January 18th) signing in Niles, OH.....Nate McLouth is replacing Adam Laroche. I just looked on the website to confirm tomorrow night. I am now definitely going to hit both nights.

i'm calling it now....sunday comes and everyone is in line and they announce nady couldnt make it and matt capps will replace him.

 

[pirates2006ws]

Question about Piratefest....on the schedule, they have 3 players signing at each time frame. It lists 1 player as 'Player 1' and 2 players as 'Player 2'. Unless they change the layout at the convention center, there is only 2 places where the signings take place. For anybody who is going, do you think that both players listed as 'Player 2' will be signing at the same table? My primary focus on Saturday is going to get Dave Parker on my 1979 team 11x14 and since that line I am sure will be especialy long...I wouldn't mind picking up an extra Madlock or two if I could.

Any thoughts?

I'd call the Pirates and ask.
