There is no better group of people to come together on a day when doing nothing is the name of the game as we ask you to skip out on work and enjoy an afternoon at the ballpark.

There are no better slackers in the Twin Cities than the gang from one of the most popular morning shows in the country and, while they should be working, Cory Cove, Chris Hawkey, and Paul “Meatsauce” Lambert are skipping out of the iHeart studios to take in a St. Paul Saints game. The morning show hosts will have their hands all over the Saints entertainment that afternoon. They’re bringing their friend along with them. A man who has more than 140 acting credits to his name, but maybe none more notable than a character that spent most of the movie dead. That’s right Terry Kiser, who portrayed Bernie Lomax in Weekend at Bernie’s and Weekend at Bernie’s II, joins the Power Trip gang on a day you won’t want to miss. The first 1,000 fans in attendance will receive a special Wednesday at Bernie’s poster. A special ticket package is available at saints-tickets.com with the password: Bernie.

Thursday, July 25 vs. Omaha Storm Chasers, 7:07 p.m. – Irish Night presented by Hamline University

We all become a little, or a lot, Irish in March during St. Patrick’s Day, but our European friends are known for more than just an imbibing good time.

The number of countries in the world with a musical instrument as a national symbol: 1. That’s right, Ireland uses an Irish harp as their national symbol. The Irish’s strong folk tradition has provided us with song to Irish dance and to poetry. Let’s not forget leprechauns, who were mischievous little fairies, while the shamrock (or clover) was traditionally a symbol for the Catholic Holy Trinity. Throughout the game fans can bid on the player worn jersey’s and go home with a special piece of memorabilia. Of course, Irish pubs are an important part of life and that’s perfect on a Thirsty Thursday featuring $2 beers and two-for-one Bud Light Seltzers.

The Saints will recreate those three magical nights as players will don special Purple jersey’s. . Throughout the game fans can bid on the player worn jersey’s and go home with a special piece of memorabilia.

Whether you bring the dog to the game, or your dog brings you, there will be plenty of fun for both.
