Remember I said Atlanta was in the grips of a horrificaly hot heatwave? Well, yesterday I decided it would be a good time to take in a game at Turner Field… A day game, in 90°+ temps, at least I wasn’t the only one as 40,000 people took a day off work to see the Braves sweep the Nationals to reclaim the top spot of the National League East Division.
The reason for the recent good run by the Braves?
Atlanta’s very own, Jeff Francoeur!
This guy has been a sensation since he came into the lineup a few weeks back (5 homers in 12 games) and yesterday he knocked two out the park to help the Braves win 5-4 and thus sweeping the series and moving 3 games clear of the Nationals at the top of the extremely close NL East, put it this way, the New York Mets who are in last place have a winning record and are only 6 games behind…
Anyways, great game, lovely day and I met a bunch of nice people in the BudZone, the best way to see a game is there, really, buy a $1 ticket and start a tab at the bar and you’ll have a fun time no matter what happens. Though today I was paying the price of cold beer (x6 at least) and warm weather, next time I’ll be on soda’s. Put it this way, I crashed out when I got home about 7 till about 11, then pottered about for 30 minutes and crashed out again till 8 this morning, so soundly that Robyn had Sally playing on top of me and I didn’t wake up… Yes, soda’s next time…

To cap it all off, here is a panorama from the BudZone… And I’ve lost score of my overall record, it doesn’t even matter anymore.
