Yesterday was a nice relaxing day, around 4pm I met up with Phillip to walk around Downtown Atlanta and then head over to Turner Field for the Braves vs. the Nationals game…
It was a fun time, invariably the conversation went on to the goings on in New Orleans, and then the running joke was everything was expensive due to a shortage of whatever in Louisiana… I wish I could remember a few of the classic ones…
Example:
Get your genuine wallets from China, only $50! They’re so expensive due to them being shipped in via Louisiana…
OK, bad example, maybe it was a “you had to be there” kind of joke… We also spotted a suspicious bag left unattended right beside the State Capitol and City Hall, and being the good citizens we are, we reported it to the nearest cop. I can only assume a SWAT and Bomb Disposal team stormed the area and performed a controlled explosion, we didn’t bother to check afterwards.
Anyways, after walking around Downtown we watched a pretty abominable pitching display by the Braves bullpen as they took their sweet time in beating the Nationals 8-7 after 10 innings. Truely horrific, but a great way to end a game with Andruw Jones nailing one out the park for his 44th homer of the season.
