Even more baseball

Eric got some awesome tickets to last night's (Mets vs) Braves game so we went for a double date with our wives. Started the night off by dropping KajaKid at their house for a sleepover and then met up at STATS, which is a pretty cool downtown sports bar on the more upscale side. While eating dinner we see that we are actually in a weather delay since there is a tornado warning for the entire area and we are getting dumped on pretty seriously.

That was actually good for us since we didn't have to rush to the stadium or stand around waiting for the game to start. We got there a few minutes after the first pitch and quickly made our way to row 7 behind home plate. Nice!

It's so nice to watch the game up close like this. You hear everything and feel like you are right in the action. We had some fan behind us who kept cracking the best one-liners all night. I couldn't understand half of what he said but it was still funny. For example, he yelled at one of the Mets players that he lived in a three stacked bag of Doritos. What does that even mean? Then at the top of the 9th, when Ryan Church stepped up to the plate he yelled at him that he's so bad, he doesn't even go to church. I guess it was funnier if you were there. And had a few beers.

Speaking of Ryan Church, he took a nasty knee to the head on the final play of the game:



So I am batting 1000 at Braves games so far. Not a bad way to start my baseball watching career.
