Kids eat free

While reading the Associated Press wire Tuesday afternoon, I found the following and thought it might be of interest:

NJ’s top 2 minor league teams let kids eat free
LAKEWOOD, N.J. (AP) — Kids aged 12 and under will be able to eat for free at every home game this year by New Jersey’s top two minor league baseball teams.
The Lakewood BlueClaws and the Trenton Thunder say they’re doing it to help cash-strapped families during the recession.
It expands a program the BlueClaws had for the past three years that let kids eat free on Mondays only.
Upon entering the stadium, each child will receive a voucher good for a free hot dog, a bag of potato chips and a 12 oz. soda.
The Thunder is the Class AA affiliate of the New York Yankees in the Eastern League. The Blue Claws are the Philadelphia Phillies’ Class A affiliate in the South Atlantic League.

Now, North Franklin Twp wants to add a 10% tax to that parking fee.
I need more blood pressure pressure medicine.
Also, a 10% tax on admission and God only knows what else.
Add to that some of the most poor quality baseball on the planet - WOW! I can hardly wait to stay home.
Anyway, I’m afraid of Jamal.

Why on earth would you spend your time complaining about the prices of parking and the quality of baseball that is played in the frontier league? If you don't like it, don't come to the ballpark, and find something else to do with your time on the internet. If you don't like a certain cereal, I'm sure you don't buy it. If you don't like a certain car, I'm sure you wouldn't buy it. If you don't like a certain television show, I'm sure you don't watch it. So if all of these things are true, why must all of you come to this website and bother those of us who are in fact happy to have a place to take our children for a good time on a summer evening? It is truly getting old. Frankly, I am prepared for some backlash to this post about how you have a right to say whatever you'd like and I should mind my own business, but honestly, can we just grow up? It's well past childish and into a whole new realm of stupidity.

Only a matter of time now that the "boys" of summer come back to town and save us from this miserable economy and weather!

As I predicted, some idiot comes back at me with an attack, clearly showing how classless this town has become. Really, what about my previous post was offensive? I point out that it is ridiculous to spend your time criticizing something you don't respect and have no interest in. What good does it do? None!

Sounds like you definitely were cut from the team when you were younger. All that aggression! And where does the Obama reference come in to play. You truly are an idiot and I am ashamed that my tax dollars have to go to educating your children who are obviously going to grow up (due to your moronic influence) to be as poor an intellectual contributor to society as you already are. Grow up, clown!

P.S. We all know the Wild Things hold an open tryout. I'd love to see you come out. I mean, if these players really are the worst of the worst, then you should have no problem, right?!

I'm still trying to figure out what the hell Obama has to do with the Frontier League. That person's comment might have been the stupidest ever on this board - and that's saying something. He/she has some real issues.

Perhaps Jamal can get Obama to come to the ball park, stick his head in a bullseye target and we can all throw baseballs at his ears.

The Amusement Tax/Parking Tax died last night at the North Franklin Supervisors meeting.
