At least you can watch them in that sweet park...the stupid Braves are moving to the suburbs next year and there is no way that I am going to go there.  For a week night game, start time 7pm, I will have to leave my house...in the city...by at least 3 or 4pm.  It is going to be a nightmare.

 

I would much rather watch a game in south Philly than the Atlanta suburbs.

My uncle lives between Dunwoody/Chamblee and he doesn't plan on getting tickets to the new park either (Currently has a decent ticket package at Turner Field.)

If I lived in Philly I'd love to go but that's too far of a drive for me. Lol

I'd rather drive the extra 20 mins to Baltimore than Philly. That's just me though. ;)

Id rather drive the extra 600 miles and go to Wrigley. But that's just me.

I did make that drive a few times when I lived in Philly. The best one, must have been back in 2002 or 2003. Made the drive down for a 7pm start. At about 7 the skies open up and it pours for a solid hour+. Game finally starts at about 9:30, ends up going 15 innings, walked out at about 2:30am and drove back to Philly. Got home around 4:30am. Will never forget that game.

no way, right? I'd be ticked.

Just messing and wishing at the same time lol.

Not me...Cubs fans are awful. Went to a Cubs-Cards game at Wrigley maybe 2 seasons ago. Sunday game, beautiful afternoon game in early September. 1pm start time, I leave Atlanta on a 10am flight, get to the park right before first pitch and we probably beat 2/3 of the fans to the park. Didn't fill up until the 3rd inning.

Sounds like iubb fans lol.

You must mean "students" not "fans".

Mmm...nope. Place regularly doesn't fill up until after tip.

Wow...just sad.

[Hovadipo 59,071]

Wow...just sad.

Could be a traffic thing too though. 37 is pretty bad right now obviously.

Go Cubbies!!!! I'm pumped for this season. Not expecting a World Series by any means, but just excited knowing that we will be in the hunt for a few years. Nothing like Wrigleyville when the Cubs are in contention.

Day games and lack of parking. Hopefully those get better with the new configuration. I can't say I have seen it like that but I mostly only go to weekend games living 4 hrs away.

Opening odds have Astros at 10-1 to win the World Series.  The other teams have odds info too, but they don't really matter.  Just kidding!

 

A feel for the other teams that tend to get board support:

 

Cubs 4-1

Yankees 14-1

White Sox  30-1

Reds 300-1

Braves 500-1

Phillies 500-1

 

Linky to the report.

Might bet on my Phillies just because of that payout!

[Hovadipo 59,071]

The people that put a few bucks (pounds?) down on Leicester City in the EPL would tell you to for sure.

How about you give me your money. I'll take you out back and kick you in the sack and we call it a day?!

I'm headed to Vegas in two weeks if anybody wants to send large sums of cash with me.
