Game 5 for me this year took place last night and the Braves got the win to bring my personal record to 3-2 for the year. Weather was a concern yesterday but fortunately the rain left town early to make for a lovely evening. The game itself was awesome as the Bravos brought out the bats and hit the ball all over the yard.
The Tomahawk Thrust was again unveiled w/ passionate fury that cannot be described in words. The man who performs this dance, G-stein, chose to wait until the 6th inning to break it out but once he did bedlam ensued. The fans in our section were wildly supportive and were in absolute awe of G-stein and his dancing. Stein even got a little competition from a 12 year old who is well on his way to holding one in his mouth 'til the swelling goes down. Unfortunately, the 12 year old wasn't like most people of his persuasion as he was an awful dancer. He was persistent though, and made it on the big screen-much to his delight.
Chipper Jones is fulfilling my early season prediction for him thus far, this is great news considering some other Braves haven't started playing well yet. I love Frenchy but something seems to be wrong with him so far this year. Not only is he not hitting for power, he isn't hitting the ball hard. Hopefully his being married isn't draining the strength out of him b/c if it is, time for a divorce. JoJo Reyes actually looked decent last night as well which is very encouraging. With Smoltz likely out of the rotation, we've got to have someone else step up. Reyes clearly has the talent, just a matter of using that pea between his ears.
Anyway, a solid weekend for baseball and beer. The Miller Lites really went down well yesterday. I'd say as far as drinking beer goes, I've had as good a season as Chipper Jones.
