The Thirty27 couple was able to enjoy a full night in the Houston Homewood Suites Hotel, checking out midday before attending the Astros game. Fully rested, they pulled another overnight drive to Tampa, where they saw the first place Rays overwhelm the aging Red Sox.

Over in the Miami area, Si Robbins joined the trip and gave the Thirty27 team a real house to crash in. The trio watched yesterday's Nationals/Marlins game, certainly the baseball game of the day. The stadium was packed with summer camp kids who all raided the concession stands during a 94 minute rain delay. They even stole Josh's would-be 92nd pretzel right out of his hands.

Now in Atlanta, Josh told me he just did a live interview with 1530AM HOMER in Cincinnati. Why Cincinnati, I don't know, the Braves aren't even playing Cincinnati tonight. He also reported that he will be interviewed by the Peachtree Network at 6:15pm, home of the Braves' television broadcasts I assume.

I'm just rooting for minimal TV coverage for when I join the trip. Not that I don't have the looks for it (smiley face), it's the TV culture, ugh.

Looks like the hardest work is over, so Josh and his companions can finally start getting some real rest between games. Keep up the good work!
