The Braves were in town last week, and unfortunately they dropped 2 out of 3 to the Natinals which has them firmly planted in the last spot of the division.
Frank, Matt, and I went to the game on Thursday evening and had partially obstructed view seats in left field. Who knew Nationals park had Obs View?! Anyway, it was a pitchers' duel for the most part. Around the 8th inning, Frank made a comment about how the Nationals pitcher had made eye contact with Destiny and she was walking over to him.
A no-hitter was in progress! So, I did what any rational Braves fan would do in that situation: I started talking about the no-hitter, I was tweeting at Bill Simmons trying to get ESPN to cut in on the game, anything I could think of to spoil the no-no.
It worked!
I'm all for great pitching, and I'd love to see a no hitter in person some day - but not against the Braves!
All in all it was a fun evening, we even got to see Jason Heyward come out of the dugout to pinch hit and drive in a couple runs.
The best part of the evening was a group of 10-12 year old girls about two sections over from us. They were obviously on a field trip of some kind and they were from the south. We know this because A) they were either wearing Braves shirts or pink & green attire B) a few of them had sunglasses on croakies C) they cheered and chanted and tomahawk chopped for the Braves all night! It was wonderful.
Go Braves!
Glad to know you still love the Bravos! xoxo
