Stay Alive...Let the Man Drive

I only go to College games....well except the two times a decade or so I am in Baltimore during the season.

I'm hoping to get out to Cleveland for a game before the end of the season.  I'd love to go more often, but the drive is 7ish hours for me. <_<

I still have not been there for a baseball game.  It's close to a 5 hour drive for me :bleeding:

So the Reds sweep the Dodgers, only to drop their first two to the Cubs.  As bad as they are, the Cubs do a good job of being spoiler.

Cards look to maintain their slim one game lead-- damned Texans can't seem to beat the damned Pirates.

I jinxed the Rangers 9th inning rally.  As soon as I turned to that game, Adrian Beltre struck out on three consecutive pitches.  YOU'RE WELCOME SYT

You probably go to more baseball games than 99.9% of the country.

I get a deal on 300-level seats for certain games, plus there are always good ticket promotions to take advantage of for other games, and I already pay for a parking spot near the stadium. 

I can take Tommy to a game & do the whole basic experience (hot dogs, peanuts, maybe a snack for him) for less than $20 out of my pocket.  I burned him out on baseball games this year :D

Years ago, I went in on a 12 game package for the Orioles.  By game 7 or 8, I'd definitely had my fill.  Wound up being more of a chore than actual fun.

Was wondering why I hadn't seen Jerry Remy the last few times I've watched a game and googled him. Holy crap, I had no idea his son was charged with murdering his girlfriend. Just terrible all around :(
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Pieces are falling into place for the Tribe.  I'm an emotional and nervous wreck.  I haven't had to worry about a team I follow even being in the playoff hunt since I was a kid watching Rickey in Oakland.  This is my first adult baseball fan experience of success.  It's... awesome. :)

Just like I told all you guys in the off-season, the Orioles' inability to get free agents and sit pat with their bullpen has doomed them.

Such great seasons by Davis, Jones and Machado:  wasted.

I haven't had a baseball thrill since 1990.
