My heart isn't the only thing that's hungry
I really do have a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack, but I think I was the only sportswriter around here who didn't go to see Bruce Springsteen on Friday night at First Mariner Arena. Made a pass at StubHub and found a single for $300, but I think you had to sit in your own car in the parking structure and feel the bass.
Check out Roch's blog for a rundown. He was there with Jim Hunter -- glad to hear they're dating again -- and they saw Ken Rosenthal a few rows away. I'll just assume he was standing on his chair.
Do I sound bitter?
All kidding aside, it sounds like it was another terrific show by The Boss. I've seen my share and never been disappointed. I'm glad my guys (though Roch, Jim and Kenny would probably bristle at that description) and any of you who were there had a great time.

I thought of you, Schmucker, and how much you would have loved the show. Then I imagined you singing along to every song, and...I think you should have taken that $300 ticket in the parking garage. Seriously though, it was a great experience. And I expect my ears to stop ringing by Christmas.

Pete's reply: I admit I was a little jealous, but I have seen a lot of Bruce shows, so I was just being altruistic by leaving that last ticket for somebody else.

Pete, I thought I was going to see two great performances this weekend. The Boss and then a win by the Ravens. I should have known better.

Bruce is amazing. Can't believe he is still touring at his age. Just shows you how much he loves doing it. His shows will be sell outs like always.

You missed a great show but next time around Bruce tickets should be a little cheaper, hopefully he's done resting soon and gets back on the road.
