"It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops."
--Bart Giamatti
the braves are still at the top of the NL east. and i'm going to the game on saturday - hooooooray! it was originally scheduled to be a day game: 4pm start. i have learned from experience that I DON'T DO DAY GAMES. in atlanta you will sweat through your clothes by the end of the second inning. but now it's a 7pm start and it will be less than 90 degrees, and i can watch the sunset over the city as i watch the game. DONE.
