Curse You Southwest

First off, why the hell are flights so expensive to DC from Pittsburgh? $415 to Regan via US Airways. The cheapest flight is $107 into BWI (which is not DC, it is Baltimore) via Southwest. When I started college, Southwest flew into Dullas and Regan from Pittsburgh but due to budgets cuts they chose to only fly into BWI. Why did they have to pick BWI?

The reason this is a problem is because I have an opportunity to go to game 7 of Capitals and Penguins on a press pass. Not only would I be able to see the game I would be able to go where ever I wanted. The only requirment would be to take pictures of fans for the first two periods. A fair trade off in my mind.

Here is the problem: I have a playoff softball game at 2pm which prevents me from being able to drive home to make the game. Softball games take about an hour and a half to two hours. This means that I can be at the airport by 4:30 so, without bags, I can get on a 5:10 flight which is the flight being offered by both Southwest and US Airways. If I were to by a ticket to game 7 it would cost me between $100 and $200 dollars so the Southwest flight, at $107, is the amount I would pay to see the game. Only problem is, as I said, it flies into BWI which, for you people who may not know this, is AT LEAST an hour away from downtown DC. So if my flight arrives at 6pm, I would be in DC a little after 7pm which is a problem because to pick up the press pass, I would need to be there a little before faceoff which is scheduled at 7:15.

So curse you Southwest. If you just flew into Regan, or even Dullas, I would not be having this problem. It is your fault I cannot go to game 7.

PS - Rodger Clemens has always been a jerk. And an idot. The reason he says he never used steriods is because he has a family health problem of heart attacks. His stepfather had one. Does Clemens realize that he shares no gentic material with his stepfather therefore it does not matter what happens to his stepfather. This makes me doubt him because it sounds like he is just grasping for straws.
