Red Sox vs. Braves - Complete Sunday Recap

That game made me want to throw up. But, there is good news. No, it's not that I saved money on my car insurance. The good news is that I couldn't go as originally planned and didn't have to sit through the disgusting performance of the Braves' relievers. My youngest son became sick before the game and I wanted to do the right "dad" thing by staying home with him on Father's Day. The other good news is that I sold my tickets to some Red Sox fans for four times what I paid. Suckers!

There will be no more "complete recaps" this baseball season. It's over for me, and I'm already looking ahead to football. Heck, I'll even take professional wrestling over what the Braves put on the field. Professional wrestling isn't as fake as this bunch of guys pretending to be professional baseball players.

That reminds me of the days when the Braves had to have a lot of promotions to fill the stands. (They may need to go back to that.) They actually scheduled to have a professional wrestling match before one game to bring in fans. Hey, they're not choosy about the class of fans who come. Then without consulting the calendar, the promotion director also advertised that the Braves would hold a special wedding ceremony extravaganza in the infield before the game. After putting it out over the radio and after about thirty couples had accepted the deal, the Braves realized the conflict with the wrestling match. The wrestling contract and date could not be changed, and the Braves couldn't tell the excited couples to forget it. So, they decided to hold both events on the same night. The couples would get married before the game, and the professional wrestlers would fight after the game. So, what did the Braves name this dual promotion? Yep. It was "Wedlock and Head Lock Night."

My daughter gets married next weekend, but it won't be at Turner Field. It will take weeks to clean up the stink that they made there tonight, and it wasn't rice that they were throwing around.

Does anyone need tickets for the rest of the season? I'll make them available for a really good price and, while our wedding list is full, maybe I'll throw in some wrestling tickets at the same time.

Now, where's that aspirin bottle?
