Marlins are so loving inconsistent

Took 2 of 3 from the Phillies, lost 3 of 4 to the Brewers, swept the Braves, then lost 2 of 3 to the Mets, who have nothing to play for.

Anyway, taking my 4 year old to the game tomorrow. School is off and tickets are actually pretty reasonable. $30 to sit in the 200s between home and third.

Have you taken them before? I took my 6-year old and probably spent a total of 20-30 minutes watching the game, and the rest of the time was spent on snacks/playground/shops/etc.

It's not like they WANT bad things to befall the world. Rooting for the Mariners just usually ends up that way.

We went last year. Neighbor had tickets so the two of us took our kids. Best seats I've ever had, and we made it to the 3rd inning. Hoping since the game moves a little quicker we can make it to the 4th or so, and then we'll probably head out to Gallagher Way for another inning. Plan is to keep him going with snacks as often as I can. Only real problem with Wrigley is they don't have much in the way for kids except for Gallagher Way.

GOMS is northwest lingo for "I was born a snake handler and I'll die a snake handler."


Edit - if you're old enough like me, it's more "Someone handed me a snake when I was five and it keeps OWWWW biting me but I mean poo poo, why would I drop the snake now? Sometimes it does really cool OWWW things and maybe someday it will be cool like OWWWWW a golden retriever."

1. Get the ice cream helmet and tell them not to fill up the helmet past the 'brim'.
2. Get them kiddie-size binoculars. Print out a page with each Cubs' player jersey number, and ask them to cross out each one they see through their binoculars.
3. Do the passport stamp book
4. Take lots of pictures and have them pose next to statues/things, print a picture for the book in #3
5. gently caress it, let them sit in their seat with a giant tub of cotton candy or popcorn or whatever so you can enjoy the game
6. Keep numbered stickers in your pocket and put a new sticker along the top of the page in #2 for each inning that's ended

(I made it from about half an hour pre game to the 8th with my 6-year old, but granted Nats park had a playground, so)

N: A SEA sweep over HOU is looking like a requirement to winning the division. I’m guessing they’d have to take at least six+ from TEX. HOU plays KC and ARZ, TEX get a series against LAA.

Uhhh a sweep over Houston and winning 6 against the Rangers would get the division pretty handily, I don't see how that's a minimum requirement

M's are tied with the Astros in the loss column and hold the tiebreaker, a sweep gives them effectively a four game lead

Unless I'm messing things up....

The AL Tie Brekers are all settled more or less. Texas currently has a big head to head lead on Seattle that the M's could reverse but doing so would remove any chance of a tie at the end of 162 games.

M's > Astros
M's > Blue Jays
Rangers > M's
