Braves game, 6/16.....who wants to go?
I knew the Braves were coming back but didn't know it was so soon. Anyway, I'm gonna go Tuesday and see if I can get Jeff Francouer to sign my FAILCOUER shirt. Anyone else wanna go? Better yet, did anyone remember to get the canned food out of their car before any of last weekend's games and get thelf-price/free tickets? :)
As a reward for meeting up I am willing to give some lucky person a can of peaches or a can of pears, your choice. I'm just that nice of a guy. Remember, this may be your only chance to see me get punched by a major league player, you don't want to miss it.

I'm thinking about going
I have to Ann Arbor on Monday, so I’ll have to get approval from Corporate on going out the night after leaving her home alone with the kid – especially since all of our neighbors are away on vacation.
I’m also considering meeting up with you guys tomorrow night, but I’m fairly certain that i can’t do both events.

Why not?
I’ve thought this out, actually. Two things can happen – he can laugh and sign it and become my new favorite Brave or he can get pissy and possibly ask that we be ejected. In that case I buy a new ticket from a scalper for $5 and got to the RF stands and harrass him for three hours. :)

Wow, I'm not sure if I can pass up a chance to see this.
Couldn’t you just walk up to him and have him sign your shirt without him seeing the back, and make sure he sees it as you’re walking away after he signs it?

I've also considered that
Dunno if you’ve seen the shirt or not, but the front has a “Obamacized” pic of Francouer with his money quote around it – “If OBP is such an important stat, why don’t they show it on the scoreboard?”
I’ll see if I can get us freebies, but I’ll need a hard count by noon or so tomorrow to be sure.

I didn’t realize it’s a quote.

what's even better
is that this is Atlanta’s scoreboard (displaying OBP, for those that don’t have the time to search for it):

All credit goes to royhobbs over at Talking Chop
You’ll need to email him directly to get it. The shirt had been mentioned here (I think by Slyde) and I knew I was going to Atlanta so I picked one up and wore it to the game Sunday. Over there someone said it would be funny if somebody could get it signed, and I thought “why not?”.

It appears that jch has offered to buy my ticket, obc as many beers as I need and Ash, if I've got it right will regale me stories.
So unless something bizarre comes up, I’m planning on showing up for at lest part of the game.
However, I must remind you all that I really am an old guy…so…just sayin’

She likes
Long Walks in the evening
Sitting by the fire eating pop corn
A trip to the Zoo
flowers for no special occasion
Travel to exotic lands
She graduation from Antioch after playing soccer for Bard..she loves rebels..but only
rebels with a cause
rebels who are not from the south
rebels who like to camp and fish and canoe
And rebels who actually have money
Don’t know if that helps

as in the antioch that doesn't exist anymore?
i considered antioch, but was scared away by their condemned building. It is/was(?) a great school that really is unappreciated because it is unconventional. I didn’t go there (besides the whole condemned building things) because I knew I wanted to go to grad school, and I didn’t know how well not receiving grades and a GPA would hold up for grad school, so I went to the polar opposite, extremely conventional, conservative, has visitation hours for freshman, and doesn’t have wednesday morning classes becuase of chapel, Ohio Northern University.

Yes as in Yellow Springs Antioch
Where Rod Serling (creator the Twilight Zone) , Corretta Scott King and many other notables graduated..D3 went to Bard College to study photography(Avondale on Hudson) because it was a supposed intellectual horbed, full of creative types and also they really wanted her to play soccer their.
She found the school to be, in her opinion, full of kids who were quite intelligent but lacking in imagination or creativity,,plus most of them were really really wealthy boring posers. When she tore her 2nd ACL, she retired from college soccer and decided to look into Antioch where one of best friends was attending.She loved it, it was terrific school and was a great fit for her. Students go to school for a term then go out into the real world on paying internships that relate to their majors then alternate back and forth between on campus classes and internships..she interned at a mediacal practice in Santa Fe, a research Facility in San Francisco, a homeless shelter in Portland. a Genome Lab in Cincinnati and some bio-chemical project in south Carolina somewhere…
The school is presently refitting its curriculum and will soon re-emerge as a 21st century reinvention of itself.

i have nothing against antioch
it was my second choice, and i know it has produced a number of notable people (I am a huge fan of the twilight zone, and my dad claims Rod Serling is why he took up smoking), I wasn’t bashing it.
I always felt like Anticoch is misunderstood, as it seems like it values intellectualism more than other schools. What I mean by that is, I feel like you have to think more to get through Antioch, and you can’t survive if you area mere parrot. I personally think it is great that they don’t have grades, but individual written reviews on in class performances. But a lot of conventional grad schools want transcripts and numbers, GPA’s and GRE’s, which are not necessarily a measure of intellect, but rather a measure of ones test taking ability, ability as a student, and ability to play the game. I know now, that if I had a little prior information on ONU, my first quarter GPA would probably would have been a full letter grade higher, as I would have known which professors to avoid. That is what bothers me about gpas, they don’t measure shit, but they are highly valued. Two students can take the same classes in the same quarter and have completely different work loads, and take away different amounts of knowledge.
