OldTimer’s Dugout - Off Topic Thread

I turned to MLB channel 3o minutes ago only to find that the Houston-NY game had been rained out, and I was surprised that the network hadn't arranged for a backup Grapefruit League game,

Earlier in the day I was at OrthoAlabama Spine & Sports, which is a only a short walk from the Hoover Met. Xr-ays showed that the implants were in place, with Vandy surgeon saying that were fewer restriction on my activities. He said "no playing golf and no going shopping or lifting anything that weighs more than 15 lbs. Best news is that I will likely not need a implant higher on my spine and that I could resume light exercise and do some yardwork and some housework over the next four weeks.

By that time the rib that I broke playing soccer with my trash-talkin grandkids on Valentine's hour should be healed/

In other words, I won't be chasing breaking stuff

Was hoping to get out to the tennis match vs Arkansas on Sunday, but the wife vetoed it after we went to the baseball game Saturday night. Hopefully there will be plenty of opportunities in the postseason.

Ok, just gonna throw this out there.

I finish cancer treatments in early March. My diagnosis in Jan. 2022 came right (like, one day) after my son's one-year "all clear" from his sarcoma battle (bone cancer) during 2020.

Regardless of how it has been for me these last few years, my bride has been an absolute rock star. Cancer mom to Cancer wife, she is unshakeable.

She did ask me about the two of us taking a trip in March for a weekend, just the two of us, to just breathe and look forward to life ahead. She talked about the beach, the mountains, Charleston, etc.

Last night, she looked at a calendar and got excited about Georgia v. UT at the end of March. She asked if I thought I could find us tickets for Friday and Saturday's games. She wants to come in Thursday night and drive back through the night Saturday night so we make it to church on Easter Sunday.

I like the idea: Drive down Northshore. Go leave flowers on Daddy's stone. Eat wings at the Bijou. See good baseball. Breathe in East Tennessee air until my lungs are full.

Anyway, I know we have a "Tickets for Sale" forum, but I thought I'd check with you guys first, because, well, you *kinda* know me, so thought I might have better luck with you guys first.

If nothing else, I will give the ticket forum a shot. If prices are too crazy, well, I might just listen to Wilkerson streaming on my phone as I cruise the Blue Ridge in a rented convertible. That wouldn't be too bad. either.

It is worth a shot....thanks,

-RW-

They have 4 more home games plus should be hosting regionals for sure and solid chance at super regionals as well.

Anybody catch TV’s comments about a TN fan heckling Burke? What the heck?! I didn’t see a thread on it and my apologies if already discussed. I haven’t been to a game this year…I don’t even like the booing much less calling out a player by name. Unlike football, players can actually hear the fans chirp at a baseball game. If you’re “that guy” and you’re reading this I hope… edited….sorry. That was prolly inappropriate but you’re an ******* for sure

CTV said he’d never seen him before so I doubt he’s a regular. Sounds like a moron who lives a miserable life to call out an athlete.
