Other than that Washington start Dickey has been pitching great lately.

Dickey is pitching as good as he ever has these last 5 or 6 starts. (Except for Washington)

36-38 with the Padres and A's coming up...if we can be at or above .500 when Freddie comes back I think we can contend.

Just got back from Suntrust.

We got 4 160 dollar tickets for free.

Right behind home plate. All food and beer was free, and they had a real nice buffet and about any kind of beer you could think of. You had to pay for liquor, but it was awesome. Take the elevator down right beside the visitor's clubhouse. Hundreds of people never left the bar area and just watched the game on the tvs in there.

And as a side note, I've been to two games so far this season, and those are the only two time The Freeze lost the race.

Less than halfway through the season, and we already have over double the posts on the season thread than we had all of last season.

Lot more to be excited about this year than it was the beginning of last season

So it looks like Freddie is going to try to switch to 3rd base. He played there in high school and in 5 rookie league games made 3 errors.

Freddie has a great and accurate arm. I think he is quick enough to play 3b effectively. My take is that if it doesn't work out, at least we tried to keep Adam's bat in the lineup. Kudos for Freddie for approaching management with this idea. A true team leader that reminds me of Chipper Jones more and more all the time.

But I will say if you make your way to Suntrust, get yourself a ticket that gets you access to the Delta executive club. Our tickets were 160 bucks(we got them for free), but you had unlimited free buffet items and beer, and while you hard to pay for stiff drinks, they had two full bars.

Plus you're sitting right behind home plate in comfortable, cushioned seats.

I bet there were at least 1000 people last night that stayed in the Delta club at the bar and buffet the entire game last night and watched it on the big screens in the AC.

If it works out, we'll have one of the best lineups in the Majors. If Freeman can just be average defensively at third, having him and Adams in the lineup will more than make up for losing Camargo's glove at third.

And we made our way to the Battery yesterday before the game too. Not really my scene, but it was a pretty happening place, and something that never could have existed at Turner Field.
