As long as it’s not over until after May 21st. I pulled the trigger yesterday on tickets for the State series. Wife’s going to the beach for a girls trip so the boys are heading to StarkVegas for the weekend. Been threatening my son for the last 36 hrs that he’s not going, every time he acts up. The hell with timeouts or spankings for a baseball obsessed 5 yr old; the threat of no baseball works every time.
