YinzTeam is All Heart
(L to R: ChachiAKA8Bit, DjLunchbox, DocRemedy, and FatherSpoon)
As previously noted, I’m laid up with a nasty Kidney infection which means I couldn’t even make it to the YinzTeam game last night to cheer my friends on from the sidelines. In short, that sucks. Yeah, we’re all connected through the social media outlets and we’re able to keep tabs on one another throughout the day, but part of what makes the Pittsburgh New/Social media crowd so unique (at least in my eyes) is that we use those platforms to actually get together and have fun. I’ve met some amazing people over the past year or two, and I’m thankful for all of them.
While balled up in what feels like a permanent question mark position, I got a text from @DjLunchbox to check my email. The pictures I found waiting for me made me smile for the first time since I’ve been in the fetal position with this illness. The one above is my favorite, and it means a lot to me. And Father Spoon (aka Doogle) posted a run down of the madness that was the last regular season YinzGame–I understand there were planks to walk…
Thanks, yinz guys, for making me feel better and missed! You really made my day.

We love the Papuga!
The ladies in Office Max and DICKS looked at me weird when I asked what would be best to write on a sweatband. i swear people need to loosen up.

It just wasn’t the same without you there. I hope you’re feeling better pronto ‘cuz we will be needing you as we conquer team after team in the playoffs.
Papuga!

I did my part: While Spoon was batting, I broke him up by yelling “Get a hit Doogle!”
All in your honor, of course. Get better, willya?

For the record I DID get a hit. I may have to wear the PAPUGA headband one more time for good luck
