I would too... If I went into the soccer threads.
yeah the weather was crappy, but i loved the open concourses..i think i watched each inning from a different place just get a different view
i've done the same... there's plenty of great places to stand (eat, drink) and watch the game. making me itch to go to a game soon!
And so life goes on, chug a lug, chug alug. While I dislike Phillie, I do sort of respect their fans, but I will admit less in baseball than the other sports. That, of course, is because they are in the NL and thus contendors against my Cardinals. If they are competing against me, I wish them nothing but evil, but if the evildoings that day are best for me, then let them whip up on somebodyl It is a fight to the finish each year, and so I wish nothing but bad things upon the enemy, the ones who are trying to steal my breakfast from my morning table!

the 5-1 phillies are at the braves tonight... still in the top of the 1st, and the phils already have 2 runs across! Philadelphia leads the majors with a .353 team batting average -- wow! and they aren't doing that with the long ball much. seems they've learned small ball and are performing quite well, thank you. the top six batters are all hitting .292 or better... 4 of the 6 are hitting .346 or better. while they won't keep up those numbers all season, if they continue to hit well, they are in very good shape with their starting rotation (though cole hamels had better turn things around on his next start).

did i hear, p-ville?
Knocked him out early! Didn't even make it four!
Yep, Texas is really missing Lee.
It's accurate to say that without Lee, Texas would have never been in the World Series last season.
The Phillies destroyed the Bravos today. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Atlanta cracks me up... I actually don't hate them (the Yanks and Mets are my hated teams), but I've always been embarrassed by their fan base.
Plenty of Phillies fans there today -- making all sorts of noise. Loved it! ATL always has plenty of available tickets for the visitors. For a team that's one of the most consistently good squads over the past 20 years, they have the darndest time selling out their stadium (I find this disturbing). Actually, they did sell out game one (not sure if they did today, but definitely some large sections of empty seats). Just watch as the season progresses. 61.9% of capacity in 2010 -- and the Braves lead the division for most of the season! Atlanta has Ted Turner to thank -- his TBS broadcasts of the Braves over the years gave them a cable-induced fan base -- otherwise, they'd be ultra-pathetic.
