More pics from Turner Field

Just got my pics posted last night as well. Enjoyed great seats over the Cubs dugout…

Some excellent pictures there.

I’ve sat near where you were sitting for a Cubs game before. Paid through the nose for the seats, but telling a recently-struck-out Cub (mighta been Moises) that he’ll get ‘em next time and getting a tip o’ the cap in return made it worthwhile.

Managed to ‘upgrade’ to a couple of rows behind that in the 8th inning of Game 1 of the 2003 NLDS, too…

Yeah, pretty awesome...

Got to banter with Alfonso and Ryan Dempster a couple of times. Met Micah Hoffpauir prior to Wednesday’s game down beside the dugout. Actually, those tickets were surprisingly reasonable on StubHub. Had first row over the dugout for Tuesday night, and second row for Wednesday night. For Thursday night’s rainout, had second row beside the dugout…really missed not getting to use those!!

Bummer about the rainout.

I like the shot of Gregg.

I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.

Was There Wednesday and Thursday

I like Turner Field. I was glad the Cubs won in 11 on Wednesday. I was surprised with the amount of rain on Thursday. I was expecting light rain but not the downpour that occurred. I gave my ticket for Thursday’s game to a friend who will will exchange it for a ticket for a game in August in Atlanta. I won’t be back in Atlanta the rest of this year.

I'm still debating...

…heading back down for the Monday make-up game and maybe catching the first game of the Yankee series on Tuesday. It’s only 3.5 hours from Nashville. I hate it got rained out, I really didn’t expect that amount of rain either.
