Cubs/Yankees ticket prices are going to be through the roof, so I won't be going to the game. I'll gladly meet up for pizza and beer afterwards, though. :cheers:

Pizza meetup afterwards is also workable for me, although I do really want to know if they play Starlin's walkup music again.

I've got a case of malt liquor stashed in the trunk, Mr. Marvin Gaye on the CD. We are gonna get all the way down.


Poque, that is awesome, congrats on the ring.



Also on the topic of goonmeets, if anyone here is up for a Busch goonmeet this season I'd be down.

Logistically, I'd be able to make a Chicago goonmeet.

Realistically? Nah, won't be able to make it due to multiple reasons, a wacky work schedule being one.

I'm going to the Braves game tonight. I went to the first game at Turner so I figured I'd go to this one too.

Getting there is gonna be a bitch

I went to the 2nd game at Turner, the one that had like 3 rain delays and then got shut down due to the curfew and had to resume the following day. Sucks I can't make it this weekend but I would have to cross through carmageddon to get there, anyway.

Even though public money for stadiums is a bad thing the main reason Kansas City voters didn't approve a downtown stadium a while back was because people were worried about parking.

We do like a tailgate too.

e: Maybe it was killed before it came to a public vote, but that was definitely one of the main talking points.

I'd love to do a Wrigley meetup. Don't know if I can do the May 6th game since it's a bit soon for me, but I'm interested in the June 3 game. After that, all the home games are on weekends I work until September.

The May 14 game looks tempting. Dunno if I wanna make two 90 mile day trips within the same few days since I'm heading to STL for a convention on the 17th.

Yep. I suggested that he divert his ad budget into buying the naming rights of the Sox stadium but was voted down. They ended up going for only $2M a year, he could totally have afforded that.


Yeah, but given that Poque and Kevlar are a known couple it came off as blatantly homophobic rather than the regular juvenile gay-baiting you expect from the internet. Or maybe I'm being overly sensitive.

Had no idea they were a couple. Didn't know what his position there was and that seemed like the most off the field job.Trying to make a silly joke about him working an unrelated job like the waterboy and still getting a ring. Nothing personal at all. Arrieta is just a hunk. Am extremely jealous he gets to work in baseball.

And I'm pretty sure I am not homophobic as I am not scared of myself...

To take another "THAT'S NOT A FUNNY JOKE" tack, guys who massage the players are probably considered pretty important on the strength and conditioning staff.

What does it take to get a job like that Poque? I know that one of my good friends was working on the ticket sales side for the MiLB, but lately it feels like all that stuff seems to be either part time or internships.

Also I'm really tempted to just say gently caress it and go to the May 6 Cubs game.
