Another Night at Turner Field

Jen and I like baseball. We've gone to games since we first met.

We met in September 1997 and watched the World Series together (Florida v. Cleveland if you care - Florida won in seven).

She knew the game and I was attracted to that.

So, we sneak off to the games when we can.

The Brewers were in the ATL tonight. She and I had tickets. I also knew she was pregnant (really?) when she asked if we'd get into the suite for the air conditioning.

Jen's been with me long enough to know that serious baseball watching does not happen in the suite. After all, the Brewers were in town - she wanted to watch Princess, Ryan, and many others.

The Brewers smoked the triple A club for the Braves organization tonight. It was a shutout.

Really, the East Cobb Little League could have been more engaged than the Braves. It's the first time since the summer after I graduated from high school (1990) that the Braves are not in the race on August 1. And I'm old.

Now for some pictures ...

Mark Texiera merchandise anyone? Maybe for the Anahiem Angels of Los Angeles Santa Monica Pasadena Riverside Venice Beach Burbank formerly owned by Mickey Mouse ...

Some Turner Field views as the grounds crew works in the shadow of the Delta sign and the Chic-Fil-A cow:

Question: Does the Chic-Fil-A cow attend games on Sunday?


The Capitol of Georgia to the left of the scoreboard.

And now, a photo of the Princess who needs to work on his diet:

Less Saz's, more Subway Jared.

Here are Jen, Mike, Derek, and Spencer ... One day, it might be Spencer and Derek ...


That's all for now ... It's late in Atlanta, yet Jen and I are watching Vin Scully call the Dodgers game on the west coast ... Always a treat for baseball fans ... Not a treat - the Dodgers paying the GDP of a sub-African country for Andruw Jones in free agency last season. He's hitting below the Mendoza Line right now.
