Which game do I go to?

Which city is closer?

 

If you choose Philly, you can always see if Bull's barbecue is any better than Boog's. Yes, in the 'blatant-ripoff-let's-employ-a-large-former-cult-hero' to sell food, Greg Luzinski plays the role (or steak roll) of the Boog at the new Vet. (Sorry, no need to advertise the bank here).

 

Go to camden. Even if the game sucks, Legal Seafood is just down the street.

 

Camden Yards, yes, two or three times. Philly's new ballpark, no.

Baltimore, about 90 minutes straight down I-83. But parking is so bad you need to park outside the Beltway and take light rail to the stadium. Philly's two hours, but you can easily park near the stadium.

 

Go to Philly and thank the Lord they tore down the Vet.

Of course, the last game I saw in Philly was at Connie Mack. But I don't get out much.

 

dontrelle willis is worth the price. go to baltimore

 

Mussina's throwing in Philly, so that may be about a wash.

 

i voted for baltimore, but that was before i knew you hadn't been to the new park in philly... so switch one vote over

 

I'd say Philly; only 'cause you haven't been there before. Camden Yards is better, because it was built with town around it; not just a distant glimpse of Center City out well beyond the outfield, which you get with the new Vet.

The thing is, I think there's only standing-room only tickets left in Philly to see the infidels in pinstripes; so head down 83 to Balmer. And you can park for $10 at the hotels by the Inner Harbor and it's a 10-minute walk, 15 minutes if you take it really slow or have children with you. If you've got time to hang out and make a day of it, the vote is easily for Baltimore just for all you can do around the Inner Harbor or Fells Point.

Back when the O's were worth watching, parking was much worse and the hassle of Light Rail mighta been worth it. But now that they blow - and always will as long as Angelos and his meddling sons act like Ted Turner of the '70s - tickets and parking are plentiful. So hit Baltimore tomorrow and take the next opportunity to head to Philly.

 

I don't like Philly as a town, but I do like Citizens Bank Park so I'd say go there. It's a good ballpark and you can go to Chickies and Pete's before or afterwards for some good eats and beer.

Plus, you're closer to Baltimore and seats will be really plentiful there later in the season.

 

Don't know if I'm going to either now ... thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon.
