May 23, 2006 (Oakland, CA)

Pigs opened up the 2006 season with a 6-2 win over the Black Dogs. Known as the best position player on the pigs since Koz, Kid got things rolling with a timely position driven turnover and breakout pass to Pittsberg who did all the hard work scoring the 1st goal of the summer session. The rest of the game was academic with guys like Gracie, SodaPop, Dino, Longshore, Mike and Mac posting the balance. More impressive than Goalie Jeff's 1st assist in 6 seasons was Longshore's roof job one timer. "That's exactly how I got my wife pregnant" exlaimed a pumped Longshore after the goal marking his first point in almost 9 months.

Family Night Travel Advisory for Sunday May, 28: A death gesture was given to Captain McClure on 5/23 by a local Oakland native in the Ice Center parking lot al la Harry Conick Jr's character in the 1995 classic "Copycat." Mac crapped his pants but cleaned up nicely after the game.
