I get that, I guess I dont get what that tax is.

But hey, at least they are a legitimate team for buying their roster unlike the astros who used the draft, trades and analytics.


Luxury tax for having a roster salary higher than a set amount.

I wonder if Bellinger is going to cry again the WS was stolen from them!!!!!!?
and all the dummies in the media that tried to compare Bellinger's 3-run homer to Carbo's or Leyritz' in past world series.

those were just awful comparisons and/or opinions

so the Dodgers starting rotation:

- Kerhsaw
- Bauer
- Price
- Scherzer
- Buehler
- Urias

maybe starting pitching isn't as important as it used to be

To be fair, one of them was broken, one of them is a sex addict with such a bad addiction that Tiger Woods is blushing and may never play again, one was a salary dump forced on them to get Betts and is so bad that he got left off the playoff roster and one is a blue Merle who hurt himself overthrowing 3 days ago because his manager didn't trust his bull pen.

Got SRO in the presale for game 2.

Anyone got tips other than "just arrive early"?

I've never done SRO and taking my 67 yo pops?

Home run alley best bet or SRO section in right field? Someone said arrive early, stand in line at the center field entrance and run to the pump

How do you folks handle having to take a piss in SRO areas? Holding it for a few hours is doable but it pretty much means no beer. If you bring an old with you (or are one yourself), this seems like an even bigger challenge.

Atlanta didn't get to host the all star game
Well now they will host 3 World Series games.

IMO they should ban Manfred from attending

They are only guaranteed 2.

What's the Travis Tritt deal?

Do you have to be vaccinated to go to a game in Atlanta or just to be in the field?

Nobody thinks of Atlanta as an east coast team
Yep. While the state of Georgia touches the east coast, Atlanta is like 3.5-4 hours away from Savannah, the closest coastal city.

Make no mistake, the mouse is going to want the Braves to win, but they don't get the same treatment as others on the east coast because they're too far south. Same with Seattle being too far north on the west coast.

I like this map - it's really a good view of why "journalists" take the easy way out and favor the northeast or west coast. Teams are so compact that you'll inevitably either love or hate one of them, driving clicks.


Why does this map have the Triple AAA team from Arlington on it?
Who knows. Whoever drew the map also royally ****ed up the Texas border, among other things.
Artist must be from Arkansas, it is twice its actual size

Good spots that don't go right away are behind field box and dugout sections. Stand right behind the WC row and you can sometimes situate yourself kind of behind part of the consession booths.

Just let it rip while standing your ground. No better way to make a little more elbow room than to smell like piss and stale beer.

As long as you are with another person, one at a time can go away for a beer or leak and you should be fine. If you're alone, you need to make a pal.

Win 4 more games and they get the patriots treatment. "Sure you pushed the limits, but clearly you were the best".
