Many here know I was a long time season ticket holder and last year gave them up mainly because I moved much further away from the stadium. I was shocked when no one from the management ever contacted me to ask why I was giving up my seats after so many years...and even more so when the new pricing came out. My seats would have gone from $700 a year to $1000 a year, and a long time season ticket holding retired couple close by went from $700 a year to $1800 EACH. From what I've heard many of the season ticket holders have passed on renewing.

I just find it funny how many 'basher' there are. 'This is baseball, let's get serious' type attitude. After 7 years as a season ticket holder in Nashville I've seen so many things going on that had me laughing so hard I almost passed out. Back when he played, get Tim Dillard rolling and watch out..!! Everything and anything was fair game. Remember the line from Bull Durham.? " Baseball is a game, and games are supposed to be fun..!!...now let's go have some fun damn it" And those that choose to beat up on Hank.. Did you ever think that they just might be playing so well because they are having fun and feeling loose..?

Shocked he cleared waivers. No one wanted him...? No one...? Really..?

I'm interested to see what happens after tonights game with him..? Call him up, Waivers, Out right release..? What do you do..?

I wish them a lot of luck. I will most likely be giving up my season tickets next year after 7 years for a few reasons. But while the area they are talking about is a growing part of town with many great restaurants, the one thing I'm sure it's lacking is parking. It will really stink if you end up paying more for parking then you do for your ticket.

Whats up with the Bravard feed..? Not updating anything. Still showing middle of the 1st

I'm sure it's part of it, but in years past I've missed few games and you just get to know them by talking with them. Just being a fan and not asking for anything helps I'm sure. Nashville's bullpen it right next the seats...so often I'll go sit with them and talk. It's a hoot just to listen to Tim Dillard when he gets rolling. Rob Wooten and I spent one night talking about our favorite Everybody Loves Raymond episodes just before he was called up. Mark Rogers and I are both from the same small town in Maine, so I've met his family and often will spend a day with them when I fly home to see my mom.

You are who I had in mind in the OP LoL.... OK. I've missed a lot of games this year as I've had other things going on. Never the less it's still been a fun year and I'm beyond happy for the guys that have been called up. All are great guys and always a pleasure when I get to talk with them before each game.

So who is our loyal Nashville reporter..? I've been a season ticket holder for 6 years now.

I'd wager you'll see Mark Rogers in Nashville by the end of this week when they start the next home stand. Could be an interesting match up... Mark Rogers -v- Manny Ramirez. I'll be there for sure

I was told 90 today by the guys doing pitch count in the stands....92 yesterday

I just spent the last two games watching Francisco Rodriguez pitch the 8th innings in Nashville. His speed is not it what it once was, but today he did only face 4 batters. Walked one, struck out the next three on twenty pitches total. Yesterday faced 5, gave up 1 hit, 1 walk and threw 15 pitches. Doug Melvin was in attendance to watch, but I did not see him in the stands today. Maybe it was the 11am start, cloudless sky... and 6000 screaming kids. I guess we'll see what the choice is by thursday.

He was recalled from his rehab assignment today, but remains on the DL. So I'm assuming that's what happens now. From what I've read the 'clock' stops.. it is not reset. He should have about 15 days left.

As said above the stadium is nothing special. It's 35+ years old and has never really been renovated. As for pre game food.. there is nothing around the stadium. So your best bet is to go downtown and find something. As for parking I use the Vanderbilt lot across the street. You have to pay I think its $6.00 to park no matter where you park..so I use that lot for ease of access when it's time to leave. I go out the back gate and as a 7 years season ticket holder I know the back streets to avoid traffic. The guitar scoreboard is unique, but it has not been working right the last few games I've been to. As for food inside the stadium.. typical ballpark affair. Again, nothing special.

So what is the latest..? I've not seen anything for a week plus.. Where is he going..?
