The last I saw the dog track is still holding poker games, but no more dog racing.  JSB Baseball used to hold awards banquet there when the dogs were still running ... food was pretty good ... dont know if they still have food or just poker.  

I have read that they have live video parimutuel wagering from tracks all over the country for horses and dogs.

It was my understanding they they have a large poker room and yes I read they do have food.

I still would like to know if it is in a safe area of the city, if anyone knows. Thanks

Highly recommend Bradenton for an away game. A long time since I was there, but it's a beautiful park and an easy trip from Sarasota.

And the brewer, Darwins, that is across the street, closer than Pickles is to OPACY, makes some absolutely FANTASTIC beers.

Bradenton (Pirates) is an easy drive from Sarasota. Highly recommended. Tickets are usually aplenty. Parking can be a bit of an issue if you arrive late. Stadium has been updated and has a huge Tiki bar behind center field.

The Atlanta Braves are now in North Port, Florida which is in south Sarasota County. Should be a fairly short easy ride and their new stadium looks very nice. I anticipate that tickets will be in demand for most of their games. 

The Tampa Rays are in Port Charlotte which is right down I-75 south of Sarasota.  Decent ballpark. Plenty of parking and tickets are usually available.

The Orioles' first game is at Atlanta's new stadium, 6 weeks from Saturday.

It's right by the airport.  Pretty much nothing around it. Not in the city at all.  I always felt safe going there with my wife.

The only one I knew about is Derby Lane right on/off Gandy Blvd (rt 92) in St. Pete.

Living in North Alabama its Braves country. But, I grew up here when the Orioles were on Saturday baseball constantly. So, migrated to those Orioles powerhouse teams in the late 60's/70's. Huge fan ever since.

I hope to get to that new ballpark in mid-March and root against them. ?

Thanks for the recommendation. We already have tickets for Bradenton to see the Pirates and the O's on March 19th. We will be going to that game then flying out that night. We fly in on the 15th and going to Port Charlotte to catch the O's play Tampa Bay. Then two home games on the 16th and 17th. Taking the 18th off maybe deep sea fishing and some poker.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      Yes my mistake I thought those were eligible. They may be eligible after winter meetings. Manfred seems to like the idea of making more picks available for trade.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      I always compare where we are in attendance to payroll. As it stands our attendance will be 19th in the league and payroll 22nd. The Twins are at 19th with 130 million dollar payroll which is 22 million higher than ours. I expect the Nats and Tigers to spend a little this offseason so that 130 million mark for 19th place may move closer to 140. Still gives this team 50-60 million to spend on either resigning guys or free agents.

      Well, the changes to the flex plans this year led both me ($1200 plan) and my friend ($2500 plan) to not renew for next year. The decision to more severely limit playoff presale access and dramatically reduce the discount on food and drinks at the park just didn’t make it worth it to tie up that much money in advance. So, we’ll likely go to far fewer games next year. Given the press reports and online reaction, I have to think we weren’t alone in our decision making.

      Rivera and Soto are hitting.   Holliday and Mayo are not.

      Holliday could fill the role of pinch runner that Mateo would fill.

      AL playoff picture

      By eddie83 · Posted

      Yeah. I don’t get that either. SEA would win head to head tie with HOU and push HOU into WC race but it’s irrelevant if the loses don’t match.

      Maybe, just maybe, theres a ray of hope

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      Regardless of how down I've been about their recent play, there's always been some hope. Getting some guys back in time for the post season will definitely help.    The way this team has been built requires a group effort. I mean,  Gunnar is a huge star, but the lineup when healthy can be competitive top to bottom. I'm not knocking NY here, but if you can eliminate Judge(almost impossible), you stand a chance vs them. I'm not implying that they will go on a deep run because we've seen how bad it can be, but simply saying that getting healthy and having a shot is the best we as fans could have hoped for with the way this season has gone.
