Pirates Home Opener (CP’s Mon. 4/1/13)

1) Spring has sprung, and hope springs eternal—so here’s hoping the Pirates will have a winning season. The Pirates home season opens today with  a roster of players who try hard. If they don’t excel though, PNC Park is still a good place to get a tan and enjoy fireworks, after-game concerts, bobble-head collectibles and all-you-can-eat seats. By the way, today’s home opener is Magnetic Schedule Day. Pirates vs.  Chicago Cubs. 1:35 p.m. PNC Park., North Shore.

2) The Balcony Big Band’s hitting only high notes in a Monday night performance at Jergel’s Rhythm Grille. 8 p.m. No cover. 285 Northgate Dr., Warrendale.
