Get out and root for the Braves
The playoffs start on Wednesday vs. Houston, the team that we were 5-1 against this year, including a four game sweep at home. Tomorrow, however, are the pep rallies. Two of them, actually. A lunch time fiesta at Villa Christina-Perimeter Summit from 11:30 to 1:30, featuring Sister Hazel and my favorite Brave, Dale Murphy. Later on tomorrow, from 5:30 to 8:30 at the ESPNZone in buckhead, is the second pep rally featuring some members of the current team, Phil Niekro, Hall-of-Fame deserving GM John Schuerholz, and the Murph again. Oh, on the broadcast today they announced that if you purchase two tickets to Wednesday’s Game One at the pep rallies, then you get two tickets to Thursday’s Game Two. You won’t find a better deal anywhere else.
Once again the Braves will be playing their first playoff game in the afternoon. And the Yankees will play all games at night either in prime time at 8pm or 10pm. Thanks again FOX and ESPN. Some of us, well most of us, have to work during the day.
