OMG! College Kids Drinking Outside Ballpark!

The Pennsylvania state police didn’t have anything to do yesterday, so they invited NBC 10 along with them and busted around 100 underage drinkers outside Citizens Bank Park yesterday. The only good thing is that a bunch of Natty Light was poured out onto the ground.

Ninety-one people over the age of 18 but under 21 were written up, while 9 people under 18 were also cited. One of the cited teenagers — he’s 19 — told NBC 10 he would be able to fight in a pointless war but can’t get plastered outside the ballpark so he can fight other drunks inside. Or something like that.

Anyway, we’re all safer now, and the state has a bunch more money to bust more 20-year-olds drinking beer. Erhm.

State Trooper To Take Control Of N.J. In Coup

When we last left the New Jersey state troopers, they were planning to launch a ticket blitz against the public for being mean to them for not killing Jon Corzine.

The troopers’ ticket blanketing apparently isn’t going through since messageboard chatter was reported by The Jersey Guys, some (probably annoying) radio DJs. But State police union leader David Jones wouldn’t have any of that, and last week responded by publicly releasing radio host Craig Carton’s address and license plate number. He says the information came from a reliable source. Well, obviously.

Jones says he was only trying to show one of the “Jersey Guys” lives in Pennsylvania — Oh no! I expect complete integrity from my drive-time radio hosts! — but he was a little more forceful at the original press conference.
