It's September and the Braves are still in the hunt! There's something pretty cool about rooting for a team in a late season pennant race. I've been a Braves fan pretty much since they moved to ATL back in the 60s. I fondly remember listening to their night games on my AM transistor radio under the covers long after my mother made me turn out the lights. To this day I enjoy listening to games on my car radio—tipsy baseball commentators are wonderfully colorful and insightful, and the game lends itself to description; the field, the positions, the nomenclature, etc.
As in each of the past 7 or 8 years, one of my kids is singing the National Anthem at a game this season. But this year it's in October and against the Phillies! How freaking' cool is that!

You might have noticed from the posts for the last few weeks, as well as being a frustrated baseball player and/or play-by-play man, I'm also a frustrated musician and/or DJ. Thus, I indulge:
