When I found out that he would be gone up to the braves I was actually sad because I would miss his amazing catches, but I was happy for him. He is an amazing ball player. And he's nice to. I asked him for his signature and he was very nice.

Some meat and a metric tonne of fat. My cardiologist would have had a heart attack if he saw me trying to eat that thing. <br /><br />I had to get a pretzel dog later to stave off the hunger pangs. I'll let Mr. Harris try it three times; as for me...that's twelve bucks I could spend on something else.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01094693913202628541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478750914084047598.post-49615759256645185522009-07-04T12:50:53.906-04:002009-07-04T12:50:53.906-04:00I thought Brooks Conrad was someone who starred on...I thought Brooks Conrad was someone who starred on an afternoon soap opera.George Templetonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478750914084047598.post-22756103409992395052009-07-04T11:06:02.710-04:002009-07-04T11:06:02.710-04:00Yeah, Screech paid a visit last night but was look...Yeah, Screech paid a visit last night but was looking for a younger crowd.

I believe Post restaurant critic Tom Sietsema requires three visits. But that's for a print review. Blogs and tweets may require fewer.<br /><br />Sounds like Stan heard from a few STHers in the Red Loft seats about the fan experience there last year. (They were only offering those seats to 81-game folks. No partial plans, even.) But it seems you do still need to be prepared to dance with Screech at the seventh inning stretch if you're sitting there. Guaranteed big screen exposure I guess, if you want it.An Briosca Morhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06855174362787324401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478750914084047598.post-26717548075410873402009-07-04T09:53:42.664-04:002009-07-04T09:53:42.664-04:00On your recommendation, I will give the ribs (or i...On your recommendation, I will give the ribs (or is it rib?) another try.<br /><br />They have two new ushers up there and they're very vigilant. My kids went downstairs around the 7th (I think my son wanted to get Brooks Conrad's autograph) and two young women tried to sit in the vacated seats. I was fine with it. The usher was not. He booted them.<br /><br />My latest offering, by the way, was any five Nats with no qualifications for Brooks Conrad. The boy said no.MikeHarrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120210292656990693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478750914084047598.post-66938283417997127162009-07-04T09:44:40.588-04:002009-07-04T09:44:40.588-04:00I had the Fred Flinstone rib at one of the Red Sox...I had the Fred Flinstone rib at one of the Red Sox games. It was great. Some fat, but a lot of meat. You must have gotten a bad one. I'd say give it another shot. Save the bone and throw it at the next reliever who blows a lead.<br /><br />I also sat in the Red Loft seats once last year. I'll never do it again. Nice view, but the crowd of drunks behind you in the bar all game long really detracts from the experience. Especially when the usher (who was actually trying to start the wave from there earlier in the game) gives up keeping the drunks out of the seats around the seventh inning. I was in the front row, had a couple of empty seats to my right and then a thirtysomething woman there with her husband and two kids. When the usher gave up doing her job, a couple of drunks came down and sat on my left side and started hitting on the woman to my right. I eventually had to leave and go to one of the standing room areas to watch the end of the game. The score was 4-4 after eight. As I walked out, another drunk asks me "Is the game over?" <br /><br />Never again. Not at the price they charge to sit there. Not even if it's free.An Briosca Morhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06855174362787324401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478750914084047598.post-16335986152971325642009-07-04T09:37:22.810-04:002009-07-04T09:37:22.810-04:00Gets hit hard, too.

That's the only reason I can see for keeping him around.MikeHarrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120210292656990693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478750914084047598.post-55776161997762822692009-07-04T00:07:25.340-04:002009-07-04T00:07:25.340-04:00Sorry you're having a bad week, but you're...Sorry you're having a bad week, but you're very funny and therefore a bit of a silver lining for this Nationals fan.<br /><br />For me, Colume has long been a sort of death by paper cut.
