My daughter emailed me this photo. Subject line of the email: a picture of your lover
She takes great pictures that kid, but I could enjoy them just as well without the sass, thanks, young 'un.
Here's Jeff tipping another one of Webb's sneaky off-speed sinkers. Jeff Francoeur was one of the few Braves that Brandon Webb of the D-Bags handled easily today as the Braves win! 7-3.
The snap was taken with a little Lumix camera because that's all she needed being so close and all. Front row in those new SunTrust Club at Turner Field Seats I got from an immensely supportive manager at work. I believe this birthday was the one in which I lived more like a pasha than any other in Larry Wachs history. It's certainly an upgrade from the dark days of 2006 where I watched a lady drive into a river in upstate NY as we were headed to a funeral on May 26th of that year. At least it was a cool day outside.
And it shattered my streak of bad birthdays in even numbered years as chronicled here. I've even gotten three of the five things I wished for last year.
Readers, make sure you blow out ALLthe candles on YOUR birthday cake. Give a good blow, and don't miss a single one. If all you've got is a cake on your birthday, well, you still have a shot at a better life. This is Larry, of The Regular Guys Show, here to tell you, wishes do come true, and please help support the fight against birthday candle apathy. Blow them out, not off.
Pateetong!
The SunTrust Club is built in right behind home plate where the camera well used to be. They've replaced it with a restaurant/bar with high quality fresh ingredients and highback cushioned seats. The new section is only 3-4 rows and goes dugout to dugout. It's as if a big yacht backed into Turner Field somehow. Anything you want, when you want it, brought to your seat, which costs $300 for the evening, so bring a bag next time!
I would seriously consider taking 3 of these seats for my own in lieu of some pay. Think of the savings and perks.
I wouldn't have to pay for a meal at all for 82 days a year.
I'd be sitting with famous and rich people.
The players see you from the on deck circle every at bat for a few weeks and you become like family to them.
Before you know it, Jeff is in the on deck circle, I'm busy making business deals with Turner and Comcast executives, and he shouts, "Hey, Wachs. Let's get some beers after the game."
Well, that impresses the executives so, that the deals are pretty much a matter of signing on the dotted line at that point. Awesomely sweet!
I'm 47, why do you ask?


Larry, you're known to be a pretty good pitcher (despite not being able to break 80 mph on your fastball) - you could also use the seats as an opportunity to offer pitching advice to Smoltz, Glavine, etc. whenever they are on deck.
This is a win/win situation for both the Braves and for you!

Would it hurt once in a while to update this damn thing?

Dear Regular Guys & Staff,
I love you guys,(nohomo),and I believe you guys can bring attention to
this issue.
I am a responsible 18 year old senior at Chattahoochee HS in
Alpharetta and I find the drinking age to be very unfair. In Georgia
my parents are LEGALLY allowed to give me alcohol in my house (but
they claim it hurts the brain of the young... o wait maybe it just
made all lawmakers hypocrites because they could drink then!!), but i
cant responsibly go out and buy it my self with out risking trouble
with the FUZZ!
You guys have a great influence over all of Ga. With that being said I
would like for you guys to consider talking about the 21 year old
drinking age, and how it is unfair it is and how it is causing more
problems.
Everyone can agree that Drunk Driving is a Major problem in this
country and needs to be tackled with a multi-faceted approach.
However, Drinking Age 21 is not an effective response, it is not a
fair response, and it is not a just response. Drinking Age 21 only
causes problems by criminalizing drinking without preventing it,
leading to more dangerous clandestine drinking behavior, more binge
drinking, and less incidence of moderate consumption.
Virtually no-one waits until they are twenty one to try drinking for
the first time because it is an unreasonable and culturally unnatural
age to begin drinking. While most people begin drinking before 18 as
well, it is much closer to the average age at which people begin
experimenting, and a drinking age of 18 might even influence people to
put off beginning to drink just a year or so to do it legally.
If we could eliminate some of the criminal aspects of drinking we
could more effectively teach drinking behavior and keep beginning
drinkers safe by bringing it out into the open.
The Federal Highway act took 10% of state funding away if a 21 year
old age limit was not enacted. It expires this year and we really need
to do something about these unjust and hypocritical laws.
With that being said i would like to ask George Stein a question (i
never have time to call in on my way to school)
What are the consequences of getting caught buying alcohol with a fake
id? The laws have changed regarding a specific case and would like to
know more about the new legality of the issue. If you don't respect
the laws, how can you obey them.
Please consider talking about this, bring attention to the issue,
before its to late,
Kenny Brady
