This is what happens when you insert Eddie Rosario into your lineup any season besides the second half of 2021.
I've been shitting on Kelenic all season but he is light years better defensively than Rosario and about equally as awful at the plate.

Google: "Amtrak does not have traditional bar cars. However, Amtrak offers a variety of dining services, including cafe cars and dining cars, where alcoholic beverages like beer and wine are sold. Some routes also have lounge cars where you can relax and enjoy drinks. Additionally, passengers with sleeping car accommodations can consume alcoholic beverages from their private stock in their rooms. "
This route's trains won't have sleeper cars or diners in their consists. It'll likely just be 4 Amfleet 1 coaches, maybe one business class car, and one cafe/lounge with a bar and tables.
Amtrak is actually experiencing a major passenger car shortage at the moment, since their fleet of 70 1980's Bombardier Horizon coaches had to be sidelined due to rotting A-frames... and the rumor is, permanently. So who knows what we'll see. The service itself could even be delayed because of it.

But is there parking anywhere near the train station in NOLA where I will be able to return to a car with all the windows intact?
Nope. NOUPT doesn't have parking. You'd have to park in a nearby parking deck.

And will there be a bar car on the train? Because that's the only advantage over driving. If I can enjoy a cocktain on the way, we are talking. If it's just a shitty rendition of an airline seat with nothing to do on the train, forget it.
Yes, that's one of the best perks of the train. You can also BYOB.
re: Are goods shortages really coming in the next 2-4 weeks due to Tariffs/halted shipments?

Short answer, no. Domestic supply of all goods won't immediately be impacted.

The channel the Braves come on has such a shitty signal, I just use the 680 app or listen on SiriusXM.
Yeah, 93.7's signal is stupid weak. It's only reliable if you're in/around the upper 285 perimeter.

680 The Fan in Atlanta.
95.7 The Ride if I'm in Charlotte.
Otherwise, Spotify it is.

How do you guys get tickets when you go to games? Are StubHub et al the only options?
Thinking about making the trip over this weekend but I hate using StubHub.
Use Gametime or Seakgeek. Have had nothing but problems with Stubhub. They screwed me on my NASCAR Talladega weekend tickets, and a buddy of mine used them for a Braves game a couple of weeks ago and never received the ticket after he placed the order... Stubhub refused to give him a refund. I deleted my account.

I know the OT likes to shite on passenger rail but this will be a net positive for both cities.
NOUPT is in a prime location right next to the Superdome and within walking distance of the FQ. This service will bring in folks on/near the Gulf Coast who don't want to deal with the hassle of parking in NOLA. A win for the tourism industry there.
My only concern with this route is CSX's willingness to cooperate with dispatching as there has been a lot of back-and-forth between them and Amtrak especially around the yard in Mobile.
I take the Crescent train down to/from NOLA all the time from Atlanta and I much prefer it over driving or flying into MSY.

Spent the weekend at talladega with some buddies. Very much enjoyed Saturday at the arca and xfinity races. Did garage experience on Sunday…the race is too damn long. Has nascar thought of switching to the xfinity distance? I thought that was perfect.
Was there too. Camped in the north lot. Completely wild time.
The race itself was incredibly boring. Like others have said, it's just straight line 2/3 wide green flag fuel saving the entire way.

Here's to hoping Braves legend Eli "Babe" White keeps up his utter domination of NL West pitching.

I'm sure this unfortunate act of violence stemmed from a statistical argument over the site's week-over-week throughput metrics.

Nice to look at the box score and see every hitter had a hit. I’ve been really impressed with Eli White over the last 4 or 5 games.

re: Mel Kiper Jr. Gives Top Draft Grade to... the Browns
Posted by McDonaldsBagMan on 4/29/25 at 8:36 am
Still remember Kiper's rant in 2010 about Jimmy Clausen like it was yesterday... and as a Panthers fan, I cringed hard when I heard the reports that Marty Hurney tried to trade the 2011 first round pick to move up back into the first round to grab him. That 2011 first rounder ended up being Cam.
