PrintI WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME TYPE OF TRANSPORTATION FROM THE LOTS TO THE GAME...
WITH THE ECO- BEING THE WAY THAT IT IS WE WOULD THINK & HOPE THE LEAGUE WOULD SO SOME FAN APPREICATION BY AT LEAST PROVIDING TRANSPORT TO THE GAME... ME AND 20 OTHER GUYS HAVE TO PARK AMOST 5 BLOCKS TO GET TO A GAME....
AND THIS YEAR SUMMER SUPPOSE TO BE HOTTER THAN LAST YEAR, AND WE ALL NOW WHAT THAT'S GOING TO FEEL LIKE... ESPECIALLY WITH THE HUMIDITY IN GEORGIA... TALK ABOUT EMPTY SEATS....
SO HOW ABOUT IT.... ONE FOR THE FANS!!!

Eco-what?
Eco-nomy or Eco-friendly? Because yes, the economy does suck, but providing a shuttle from just the lots is not very eco-friendly, either.
Five blocks is nothing too. I voluntarily walk more than that because I go to 30+ games a season, regardless of heat, humidity or ticket prices, and need to cut costs somewhere. If you’ve got 20 other guys with you, and have a problem carpooling to the green lot ($12 divided amongst 4-5 people per car = peanuts), then you’ve got bigger problems other than the implications arisen from fear of walking five blocks.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
All-right, I’ll let you post this, but please, end it. And who, in this day and age, writes in all caps?
As for your idea, perhaps it’s the laziness of some people, especially in the South, that makes them complain when they’re walking five blocks to see a baseball game. Get out and get some exercise, otherwise, take a cab and have them drop you off right beside the stadium.
If you get to the game early enough, there are plenty of places to park along Hank Aaron Dr. that is right on the field, most only charge around $10 to park or park in one of the closer lots that the field provides. Sure, you’re gonna have to walk, but if you get there earlier enough, it’s not that bad find a parking place. Just about every time I’ve been we’ve parked close more often than not and the walking distance has not been bad.

Awesome. This kind of stuff makes my day. I need to take some time off from being really, really, smart.
My favorite
“ME AND 20 OTHER GUYS” like that is a persuasive number, given the approx. 25-35k fans per game.

Didn’t pick up on that right away
I guess I should be one to talk.
There's nights that I can't even walk.
There's days I couldn't give a fuck.
And in between is where I'm stuck.

The big-ass cup of gravy they give you at Chicken Express is the fucking jam.
Even if it does shorten your lifespan…

Chicken Express?? Hmmmm…never heard of it, although we don’t have White Castle either. Side note: The last year that the Braves were on TBS, I purchased MLB Extra Innings package, and one day I was watching a game and I kept seeing this commercial for a place called Crystals. I was all excited because the food looked really good and I thought it was a new place about to open up.
About an hour later I realized I was watching Turner South, I felt dumb and a little bit sad.
best defensive shortstop in baseball hahahahahahahahahah (omar visquel)
Krystal = White Castle
In a nutshell. But out west, you have neither. Although there are times when I would kill for some El Pollo Loco or Rubio’s.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Hell...
we don’t El Pollo Loco’s are quickly becoming a thing of the past out here. Rubio’s are all over though, and they are spectacular. But we do have a Chick-Fil-A now! Y’all have Church’s Chicken??
best defensive shortstop in baseball hahahahahahahahahah (omar visquel)
oops....
*we don’t have many El Pollo Loco’s
best defensive shortstop in baseball hahahahahahahahahah (omar visquel)
B*stard
No Chick Fil A for me. Are you in SoCal? But the best part of Cali is In N Out Burger. YUM.

Nah....
Nor Cal for me…near between the Bay and Sac

We just got one in Fresno
With the fanfare it got, you’d think we were getting a Major League sports franchise, or we they were moving the state capitol there.

Best i can tell about Chicken Express is that its a Georgia/Southeast thing, may even be just branching out. All i know is there’s one in Watkinsville, and its great.
Great chicken, although not that greasy admittedly

Throwing down
Bojangles > Popeyes > Church’s > KFC
Zaxby’s and Chic-Fil-A don’t count, they’re mostly sandwiches anyway.
Make all the politically incorrect jokes you want, but in Atlanta, we have all of the above.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Like hell Zaxby’s doesn’t count! Have you had their tenders with the special Zaxby’s sauce??
by mattdiaz4life on Jan 28, 2009 4:38 PM EST up reply actions
Zaxby’s doesn’t make fried chicken with bones and/or dark meat. They don’t count.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
That’s true…but I’m just as easily satisfied with tenders as I am with classic fried chicken.

Also I’ve never eaten either Popeye’s or Church’s. Neither are in my neck of the woods, if they’re in NC at all.

I could really go for a KFC variety bucket…sigh.

Plus Pamela Anderson says they treat chickens unfairly. And let me say, i’m very impressed that we managed to turn a post about 20 guys walking 5 blocks into a discussion on fried chicken.
haha
I guess I should be one to talk.
There's nights that I can't even walk.
There's days I couldn't give a fuck.
And in between is where I'm stuck.

I had let this post’s comments get away from me because of the title of the FanPost…mistake there

Well, he is Baseball’s Greasiest, so it was an easy segue. Better fried chicken, than any other direction that could’ve turned.

In case you were wondering…back to back days off for Loudoun County schools.

Its actually not that cold today…but all the snow froze over, so it was a real blast to shovel. Maybe…3 inches? I’ve got blisters.

Adverse Job Ramifications
Seriously, no more. I’m gonna get fired if my boss catches me cracking up like this.

Having a chance to get shot walking to the game is way too much fun to give up for a 100 yard transport…
p.s. that reminds me of the subways in NY, and I heard some baaaddd things about those…(it doesn’t really remind me of that, but I thought of it when I was typing this, so WHO GIVES A SH!T)
