Glad you're having fun sir, but don't you think a grown man that hounds pro athletes for autographs is a bit well... weird?

Then again with the type of work I'm in, I end up around athletes/coaches quite a bit so I don't necessarily get any of the starstruck syndrome.

What's the next game you're headed to in Atlanta? Would be happy to buy you a beer.

I don't think it's weird... I generally give them away to kids and what not, but they are all just going to be a part of my epic man cave at some point in life.

With regards to my next game, that will be tonight (I was there Sunday and Monday as well) and then I don't think I'll be back until May 31st to see the Nats play.

Fair enough. You can find our group under the trees in the Blue Lot on weekends. We're the folks with the kegs chained around the big oaks, several pinatas hanging from the limbs, University of Georgia cornhole boards everywhere, and a big game of drunk dizzy bat going. We like to banter with opposing fans, so come on. I'll recognize you. If not, I'll probably be wearing the Greg Maddux or Sid Bream jersey.

No sir I wish. We all live 80-100mi south of town, so we generally drive up for the weekend games and we are there just about earlier than anyone.

If you're around next year, we've been buying a block of 250 tickets for the first Braves Saturday home game of the season for the past 5 years. We sell the ticket for $15 and that also includes all you can drink outside the stadium with our group. The weather is generally perfect, girls everywhere, and we have a HUGE party. Same spot I already mentioned.

MaconMisery makes 4 posts on this forum, all trying to get you to hang out with him. I'm not saying this guy has a dungeon in his basement, but let's be serious, he probably does. Stay safe Copec. (and stop wearing Braves stuff what the hell?)

I got past my dungeon phase a few years ago. It's decorated more like a relaxing Garden of Eden now. You're welcome to visit also Mr. Horse, just eat the fruit at your own peril...

I can be lured in with booze fairly easily.... I'll put the lotion on the skin, just put a Dogfish Head in the basket for me, will ya.?

Can you get Dogfish Head in Atlanta?

I've seen them all over Georgia. Our local brews are Red Brick, Sweetwater, and Terrapin (Athens).

Dogfish is good stuff though. Is it from D.C.?

The Delaware beach, but the DMV provided it with the opportunity to grow.

One of those sounds somewhat promising.

Tonight's game... I have video to post but it's being gay... regardless, not a bad view for $12 total for two seats.

Yeah, but it's generally only the pedestrian stuff, 60, 90 and the like. I haven't found a good beer store to get the off centered stuff but then again I haven't really looked. I've been on a Sweetwater 420 diet since moving down.

You sneak down there so often the ushers probably think you have a legit ticket.

Have you tried Tower Liquors on Piedmont, just south of Lindbergh?

This is my recommendation as well.

Glad to see you had a good time. Since my dad's a season-ticket holder, I go as often as I can. The Ted's a good ballpark.

If anyone's going to any of the games next week, I'll be there on Saturday if you don't mind meeting up with a Braves fan.

I did the math and at 9 RBIs between May 5th and now, that should be $45.00 towards Ian Desmond's Ribeyes for RBIs contest. The local office max only sells them in $25 increments so I rounded up. I guess he owes me an RBI.

Random pics for now, stories to follow later..

Espinosa was signing baseballs and I asked "Danny, how's the wrist feeling?" and he kinda laughed and said "It's freaking broken man, how do you think it feels?"

GburgNatsFan · « **Reply #96 on:** June 01, 2013, 10:05:04 am »

That was candid. I'm surprised he said that.

Yeah, shocked me too.... He said it kinda laughing, and there were only a few people around. It was me, Ray the Usher and two or so more Nats Fans

I have no doubt that Espinosa would have been a kick ass Marine. Even would have had a terminal lance haircut and shave

Yeah, I don't think anyone questions his toughness, just maybe his judgment and hitting ability. I'm an Espinosa fan, just can't see him starting right now.
