Professional Tailgating: Minor League Style

With the college football season almost here, the Only Time Will Tell Tailgating Crew got in one last baseball game before the real season starts. After going to the Dodgers and Phillies game on Saturday, the crew went down a couple of levels to see the Lakewood BlueClaws and the Delmarva Shorebirds on Tuesday night. Like the Phillies the same night, the Claws pulled out a dramatic win.

Nothing beats a ride to a minor league baseball game in a mini van.

2012 Super Spain

So the United States won the men's basketball gold, but the bigger story of the men's basketball tournament might be the impact that Spain is going to have on international basketball in the coming years.

Besides the Gasol brothers, the Spanish might have the back court for the next generation in Ricky Rubio (above) and Rudy Fernandez (below). Fernandez showed the world that he is not going to be taken lightly. During the final Fernandez threw it down over Dwight Howard. While Rubio has the skills to be a top over all draft pick in the NBA Draft.
So come London, Spain and the United States might be battling again for the Olympic gold medal.

Professional Tailgating: Manny being Manny

The Only Time Will Tell Tailgating crew was at it again this weekend as they head to Citizens Bank Park for Philly debut of Manny Ramirez in Dodger blue, Saturday. Lets just say that planes were lower then our seats.
Nothing beats getting to the ballpark two hours before the game even starts.
There is still something weird about seeing Manny in Dodger blue, Manny taking batting practice before the game .

At least, Joe Wolf's Vertical Jump rookie of the year pick pitched, Clayton Kershaw and he did not pitch well at well

The gang sat so high, that balloons were flying over us.
