Well, BatlRatl, if you're going to be here for the 8th, why not just nudge it up one day and be here for the 7th and join us for Scottish Night at the ballpark. Our minor league affiliate is doing it up Scottish in honor of the games and it falls on "Thirsty Thursday" so the beverages are a bit less expensive than usual.
That doesn't mean the 8th isn't a good idea, too!
I'm in for the duration, however it plays out.
