Thes are "skyline seats - they are available for all games, at the gate
only, beginning 2 hours prior to the game.

I've never done it, so I don't know, but I don't think so.

Yes, these are a row of seats going around the very top of Turner Field.
Seems like about 250 are available.

Oh, Land 'o Goshen - there is a Santa Claus after all! $1 Braves tix?!?!?
Yowser!
The only thing that came close to this was the 50-cent rush tickets for
the Boston Symphony Orchestra back in the 60s! <g>

They had a bad problem with scalpers buying them and then jacking the
prices up on days that the game was sold out.

They did this to prevent scaplers from buying up all the tickets...

Monday night I was struck by two comments from Skip. Klesko had just made
an out and Skip said something about how it was good to see that he
was so involved in the game and took every out personally. About an inning
and a half later Hundley came up to bat and Skip attributed his
vast improvement last year and this year from previous years
to the fact that he seemed to be more even tempered now than he was a
few years ago and that he seemed to be more in control of his
emotions when he did not produce in the clutch.
On a slightly different topic, am I the only person on the planet who
noticed last night that Bilecki had his forth straight game in which
he tried to go two innings and had a good first inning and an abismal
second one. Maybe someone should put into Bobby's mind that Mike
is a one inning man for the next few weeks. If Cox has no faith
in his pen, then he should replace them with people he has faith in.

I think Klesko over swings a lot and he seems to pull his head off the ball
too soon in his swing. He seems to want to only hit monster homeruns to right
field. Last night (Tuesday) he did hit a couple of balls back up the middle,
I think, so maybe he is getting back on track.

Klesko doesn't seem like a happy man lately. I know part of this is because he
is competitive and he probably feels like he is letting the team down when he
fails to get a hit or drive in a run. I don't think it is a bad attitude on
his part, I just think he is angry that he isn't getting the job done. I
wonder if Klesko enjoys playing baseball anymore, he sure looks unhappy a lot,
even when he gets a hit, he never seems to smile.

Klesko hasn't looked like a happy camper lately. Maybe we should
get him a sports psychologist to learn to control his temper or
something, but I can understand his frustration.
First, he never did have much of a chance to play 1st base,
given McGriff's all-star status and superior performance in
the past. So Klesko works his butt off to learn how to play
outfield (taking many lumps for his defensive performance).
McGriff gets a 4-year deal which pretty much cans his chances
at playing first. Spends his time in the outfield platooned
whenever a left-handed pitcher is brought into the game.
(Everybody knows he'll be pulled for a pinch-hitter if a
lefty is pulled from the pen.) His batting against LH
gets worse and worse. When he does get to bat against a
left-hander he fails because he tries TOO hard to get a hit
and prove that he can succeed against them. Now, McGriff
is not performing, and when he played 1st while McGriff
was injured he played fantastic 1st base. Then Mcgriff
returns. Back to the same old grind.
I think I'd be pretty angry and frustrated too....

I agree tos ome extent, though I am more hesitant to attack Klesko for the
same reason I tried not to be too ahrsh on Blauser last year, the fact
that he's been hurt. He HAS been an easier out than Fred, as evidenced by
OBP, but while his OBP was about 30 points lower entering this game, his
SLG was about 75 points higher than Fred's, so he was still a tad better
overall. Moreover, the defensive difference at 1B is pretty conspicuous.
That said, there's a part of me that wishes the braves had gone fore the
runored trade last seasson of klesko for Kevin Appier. At least then we'd
still have Ron Wright to play 1B soon (while it is my opinion that Klesko
will jump ship first chance he gets, to get away from Cox's platoon
management), and, knowing KC's weak GM, we'd likely still have Schmidt as
fifth starter. I love Klesko, but the platooning (or whatever else) has
clearly done serious damage to his hitting against lefties. Damn shame.
The last few days he's looking better, hopefully it's mroe than temporary.

happy." How happy do the starting pitchers ever look, even when they're
winning? I think Klesko's just intense, and real hard on himself. If he
singles, he thinks it should have been a double. If he doubles, he wonders
why he couldn't get it over the wall. JMHO.

No, probably too busy getting expert hitting instruction from our
hitting coach, CJ. Oh, I forgot; we don't have a real hitting coach.
Sorry.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but I think that Ryan Klesko is really good.
As for Fred, I will have to agree that he really has gone downhill.
Just because someone looks really pissed off after getting out, you
think they suck? Hello, I play softball and when ever i get out I'm
really mad. I fact i sometimes even look like Ryan does when he gets
mad. Does that mean that I suck too? NO! So why don't you stop
talking about Ryan like he is washed out, when he really isn't.

Of course, I don't really know if he is happy or having a good time because
all I know about is what I see on TV when I watch the games. However, between
starts the pitchers seem to be talking with each other in the dugout. Even
during their starts, the pitchers at least talk to each other. I see Klesko
in the dugout and he always seems to be brooding and people seem to be giving
him a wide berth. I agree that one of the things that makes a person perform
well in a competitive situation is the competition with onesself, that you
always think you could have done better.
I hope that if Klesko heats up, and starts getting hits this will all become
moot. But, even last year and the year before, when he was doing much better
than he is now, he always seemed to be brooding and scowling.
I don't think this is necessarily bad for the team, as long as he gets hits.
I wonder if it is bad for Klesko though.
