    Sold out Road Trips

    original has donated his family vehicle for us to tow behind the TBR bus on Road Trips when we have too many passengers.

    We want to thank him for his kindness. I know the tax write-off he will claim will more than offset the generous use he is allowing us.

    This summer, North Meck will start work on their new football field. As a side item, a new concession stand will be added to the facilities.

    We have recently completed a survey of our food stocks and are pleased to announce some special treats. Braves has mastered CowCheeCooking and will be preparing fine delectable treats for all at special prices ($$$). We use only the finest ingredients. Come to the game and bring your appetite!!!!

    well being of a more "gentle " nature than some of your food critics I can only say that ONCE....YES ....ONCE in the past 10 years have I found a concession stand where I would eat the food (as you gentlemen so describe the stuff that comes across the counter).
    It was the year 2000 , before the dome was put on, it was the summer and an ON DECK team ran the concession stand. Talk about SOME FOOD. It was home cooked spaghetti, lasagna, pork chops, chicken...and lots of veggies. Something different every week. That was something to look forward to as the sun set, the lights came on , and the summer breeze blew! It was AWESOME. It was like eating dinner at a big family reunion every game.

    I just can not get excited about putting something in my mouth that has been flooting in water that has gelled globs of goop floting in it. Sorry. I know you gentlemen call them hot dogs BUT....YUCK! THEN....when someone asks for that nasty hot ,yellow / orange stuff that looks like melted plastic to be put on top...... I just can not fathom it. I'd rather pull the 3rd shift at the SouthDome keeping the ducks off the field and entertaining the ompha loompas than be subjected to the concession stand.

    In all fairness I am not as well traveled as some so I WILL have to check out the Easter Tournament where the BBQ is supposed to be grand. Until that time.....I'll just sip my herbal tea from a styerfoam cup and pretend I am not hungry.:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

    I Hate this weather

    Act I: {The strangeness begins}

    18:57:44 [NCBBallFan] No baseball again, darn it, I really miss it!

    18:58:55 [ALTER EGO] I can tell, but tell me how you really feel

    19:00:23 [NCBBallFan] I was going to build a dome at the High School today, but the store was out of kites....

    19:00:50 [ALTER EGO] I don't understand, what were the kites for?

    19:01:00 [NCBBallFan] We were going to tie them all together and fly a rain barrier over the field, but we can't get FAA approval.

    19:02:06 [ALTER EGO] {Worriedly} Too bad, that may have worked {In a pig's eye!!}

    19:03:32 [NCBBallFan] {With great enthusiasm} Then I bought 423 big fans in order to blow the rain back up in the air as it fell!

    19:03:50 [ALTER EGO] {Very Nervously - worried about the stress on the nuclear power station in his back yard!} Have you tried it yet?

    19:04:33 [NCBBallFan] {Dejectedly} The National Weather service made us stop. They said it looked like a tornado on their doppler radar screens.

    19:04:44 [ALTER EGO] Too bad {As he hurriedly makes a phone call to the nearest psychiatric facility} But I guarantee, It's going to be alright.

    {Stay tuned for Act II where Braves faces the critics over the cost of inflating the BagDome}
