Maybe the start time announcement will spike ticket sales. I looked at the map on Braves.com this afternoon and there were MANY unsold tickets including about half the upper deck.
starting time for game 1??

Lol. I'm not bi-polar. I point out dumb stuff during the game, but still have faith we can get it done. I don't think we'll dust Kershaw by a long shot, but I think we can take the series if we play well.

That should help, I am sure a lot of people were waiting to find out the game time. If it's empty for night games, well....

Yep: I'll have plenty of time to get to a bar after work.
If by early you mean the 3rd game of the day, yes. Could have been a lot earlier.

No worries...the place will be packed for both games. I was at that game last year, and the energy was incredible. I think people were just waiting on the game times to be decided. This is a busy week for me at work, and there's no way I could've left early to make a 5pm start. Now that it's at 8:30 though, I will absolutely be there.

I know it's taboo here, but I'm watching the Wild Card game last year on youtube (entire game is available)...
Two things of note:
1)Electricity was amazing right from the first pitch. Medlen strikes out the first two batters with his excellent Maddux-like command. Vibe and energy int he crowd was awesome, even when we were losing pretty bad and despite all the errors.
2)Fredi got extremely pissed with Holbrooke, reading his lips I saw him drop plenty of f-bombs.
3)Chipper.
I took flew down from NYC for this game and booked a one way ticket so I could stay in case of nlds. I had never seen the video footage with commentary so I just watched for the first time two weeks ago on YouTube. I had no idea that Simmons was so far inside the baseline. its hard to watch Chipper's error also. His final at bat where he tips his hat is also hard to watch.

Man, I remember when you were talking about going off to college. I'm not prepared for this post.
I remember the time you were going off to college... at KU, then Colorado... plus the Indians stuff.
Yeah.
I'm not prepared either.
Excellent news. More than enough time for me get some chores and errands done before each game.

I work 4:30-9 Thursday night. I get off at 4 on Friday. Looks like for game one I will be disabling my score center app on my phone. DVR the game and making sure the tv isn't on TBS when I turn it on.

Excellent news indeed. I don't have to leave work early on Thursday and will leave for the stadium at 5:30 after work and get there two hours before first pitch. And then on Friday I'll leave around 3:30 and only have to take off two hours and still make it to the stadium two hours before first pitch. Only thing left is for us to sweep the two games

I know that drill. You also have to avoid bumping into any random people who will tell you what happened.

Anyone in the NYC area going out to a bar to watch Thursday/Friday's game? I was at Foley's (when they re-named it Chipper's for a weekend), but was thinking of going to a sports bar with more/bigger TVs...and was wondering if there's an actual "Braves" bar in the city?

I had been looking for something of the same. I went to Foley's also when they renamed it, I went on the Sunday after his final game in NY and didn't really see many other Braves fans there. I've gone there a few times to watch games, but don't think there is any official Braves bar in the city.

No, but I would probably count on a primetime game, probably 8:30ET or so. There will only be two games that day as its a travel day for AL
