Yicketty Yak, Go long Mac! (watch for me on tee vee)

On Thursday, I will be at the Braves vs Padres game.   It is also Chipper bobble head night!



I also made a sign to take with me.
















 Yicketty  means home run as Chipper pointed out.  I would have liked to put Chipper but Yak and Mac rhyme.   If Ross happens to play I will scratch through Mac and write Ross

I will be near the Braves dugout if your looking.

Umpires do not like three blind mice....

 I did have other posts planned, but I haven't felt great lately.   This made me laugh before I even clicked the link.. Most of you have likely heard about it by now, but oh well.  This can be watched again.


So a umpire made a questionable call in a minor league game.  Well, the DJ in the press book decided to poke a little fun.




I didn't even know umpires could kick non players out.

Finally a win on Monday!

The Braves have lost every Monday game so far this year.  Until tonight.  ..and I know the reason.

Great Pitching? ...you ask

Smart at bats? ...you ponder.

 Chipper Jones and his twitter account.   They have won  every game since he started his account.on Tuesday.

Coincidence? I think not.

It really is funny to see people complain about the words he uses or his posts.    Yicketty and Mammo are my two favorite words now.

 

The only reason I'm using twitter.

I never found much use for twitter.  Always seemed kind of dumb to me and I didn't really see the point of posting "Went to the store"  Or watching tv"   

Then it happened. Chipper Jones got a twitter account.  https://twitter.com/RealCJ10

 That made me  fly over and make an account myself.  Or well, try until I realized I had already signed up for twitter some time ago. Something I had completely forgotten about. (My memory scares me)  In only a few days he has managed to get over 50 K followers. 

The only tweet I have made so far  (is that how you say it?) is in response to Chipper and he is the only person I follow.  Or well there are two others but I have forgotten who they are and likely added them  way long ago. 

Every day now I eagerly log onto to twitter to see if he has made a new post


I am such a fangirl.

I need to start writting these things down

I needed a padded envelope to mail a card.


I went to the store to get a padded envelop and a few others things.  Got the drinks, got the frosted flakes and completely forgot about the envelope until over half way home .><


On other news Target doesn't have MLP cards.   Did get another pack of Allen and Ginter which had a Freeman.  The rest are up for grabs, base with a mini. 17, 53, 199, 204

I need to get some Ben Sheets cards.  Guy has done great so far. 

Where oh where could my ponies be?

A few weeks ago I heard they where making My Little Pony Friendship is magic trading cards! Cards and ponies together!

 They where due out July 15th.   That was two days ago two. II 


but I can't find them anywhere.

 Granted I have only been to wal-mart, but I WANT MAH PONY CARDS!

If anyone sees them I will gladly pay for a pack or trade for them.  With baseball cards.  I  can send a pack for a  pack.

Chipper will be honored and I'm going be there!

On  Friday September 28th, the Braves will honor Chipper Jones.  It is the first game of the last home series he will ever play.

...and we got tickets!  Not great seats as they where nearly all sold out, but decent seats. We are  a little past third base (close we could get to Chip) and several rows back.    I CAN'T WAIT! (he has better play :P)


True, I could likely see better on the TV but being there live and in person will be something special.  I want to be there to scream myself hoarse with 40,00 other fans. Hopefully I can tape the game as well.  He has been my favorite player ever since I was ten and will always be, even after this year.


You Brave Bloggers should get tickets as well.  ...If there are any left.  This will be a very special game. Bittersweet.
