    • Brenton Walcoff Insanely jealous. How much is this trip costing you? You're pretty much on my dream vacation, right now. Check out The Underground while in Hotlanta. It's kind of their version of South Street, with a bit more chains thrown in, but it's still pretty cool.
      July 2 at 6:15pm · 

    • James Generic I am going with 2 others, so we're splitting it. We went to the underground looking for a bar, but it seems like all the fucking bars open at fucking 4 pm on the weekends.

I have grown a fan of franks invention of a bottle of water plus instant coffee, shook. Terrible tasting, but caffeinating.

Well, they moved the game from noon to 10am so we only caught the last few innings. Gulf coast braves 4, gulf coast phillies 2

    • Ryan Haney the future is bright...
      July 4 at 12:35pm · 

    • Ryan Haney but seriously, who starts a game early? what's up with that GCL?
      July 4 at 12:36pm · 

    • James Generic I guess since its the first professional baseball experience for a lot of players and they don't charge admission, they figure no one gives a shit anyway, I think. The crowd was about 2 dozen.
      July 4 at 12:40pm · 

    • Ryan Haney ah, that makes sense. i admit, my first reaction was "who are the gulf coast braves?" what's next on the baseball agenda?
      July 4 at 12:53pm · 


James Generic
Gulf coast games are pretty scrappy, though you can't beat the price (free). Frank was in the public bathroom pissing and there was a player in there with his coach complaining about a curveball to his coach, at the urinal.
