It was the longest game of the season, and the longest game for the Buccos since 1979. If you think a regular game of baseball is boring, this one would have made you want to plank on on a bed of poison ivy for a thrill – or something like that.

Cool Pittsburgh Pirates gear from Fresh Factory and Mongo Ware
In honor of the Buccos playing real baseball and actually winning some games lately, two Pittsburgh t-shirt companies have unveiled new Pirates related tees.
Both companies have sent us links to their shirts on Facebook and Twitter. It would be way too boring if we simply retweet or post about them, so we came up with a better idea: Boring Pittsburgh wants the readers to decide which shirt they like the most. Cast your votes below. The winner will receive 1 month of free advertising on BPGH! {skip to the poll}
Bonus: if you send us proof that you bought either shirt, we’ll send you a free #BurghVerified bumper sticker (until the poll closes).

Dude Delano never runs from a good challenge
Jon Delano is big time when it comes to Pittsburgh, politics, and… Twitter. A quick scan through his CBS profile page would have you wondering where this dude finds enough time to tweet as much as he does.

Now he is the Money & Politics Editor, the host of the Sunday Business Page, a monthly columnist, a CMU Heinz College (#BurghVerified) Adjunct Professor, a volunteer, a dad, and a popular Twitter personality.

A Pittsburgh Pirates fan was tasered, beaten with a night stick, and arrested during a game at PNC Park during the Rockies game. We’ve received countless tips about it in our inbox. Thanks!
At about 0:12 seconds, another fan tries to high-five the guy but was intercepted by a security guard, so “USA” retaliated with an elbow jab at the guard. That’s when the taser is fired.

Steel City Cotton Works ZOMBIES T-shirt
The Zombie Opera returns this Spring, and we found the perfect shirt to wear to the show! @SteelCityCotton just released this Pittsburgh Zombies tee. Ideal for our readers that heart anything and everything ZOMBIES. It’s also a great shirt for non-fans of the Pirates since it appears to be based on the team’s logo (but much cuter)… and most Pittsburghers seem to think the team plays baseball like a bunch of zombies on the field. Coincidence? Nope.
You can order the t-shirt from Steel City Cotton Works for $18.99 or get a hoodie for $39.99. While you’re having fun shopping for summer online, order your very own #BurghVerified by Boring Pittsburgh tee. Getting stuff in the mail is so not boring!
