Wrigley is getting a Small Cheval and also:quote:Loaded Greek fries with gyro meat, feta, olives, tomatoes, red onions and more. Served up in a souvenir helmet. I also read they are selling a 26 oz beer in a cup shaped like a bat.

Many such cases, very tragic. He very well could never develop but it's definitely a high upside lotto ticket the A's are morons to give up.

That said it's all but set in stone that I'm moving back to Chicago this summer so depending how far outside the city I land that number could go up quite a bit soon.

I should probably go to more Cubs games, considering that a) i live a 20 minute bus ride and a 5-10 minute walk from the ballpark and b) i work in the loop, a 25-ish minute train ride to the ballpark it is nice to just randomly decide to grab a bleacher from SeatGeek at like 4 PM, text bleacher jeff to ask him to save me a seat, and have a nice little evening

Poque posted:Is Uecker still broadcasting? Wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't traveling simply due to his age. He is! Although he doesn't travel for most road games their other radio and TV guys do. Usually there will be like one road series a year that he comes along for just because both him and the players seem to really enjoy it; one year they even got him his own customized Air Jordans for it I think.

Last year I went to every Yankees game for a week trying to see Judge hit #61 in person so that inflated my numbers. Sydin posted:Pache is a former consensus top 30 prospect guy who got called up way too early, didn't hit, and got immediately declared a bust. Many such cases, very tragic. It's also a pretty savvy move by Philly since they can just use him as a late-inning defensive sub rather than needing him to start every day.

mcmagic posted:The Astros were a poverty dogshit franchise until they figured out how to tank pretty well a few years ago and have won based on that and a good deal of cheating. Their fans, especially in this thread, are getting a little too big for their britches. This is Biggio / Bagwell era erasure and I won't stand for it. But yeah, pretty much. That's kinda why we're so happy about the team since the tank. Mostly. Anywho... Yay, Opening Day is here! Time for baseball and beer!

We’re moving to Denver in a couple of months & will probably be within walking distance of Coors Field. I don’t know anything about MLB ticket prices, but given that the Rockies flat-out suck, I guess I’ll try to attend any game that charges less than whatever my hourly wage breaks down to.

In the past I'd go to 1 game per series in SD, so three here, plus maybe 3-5 in LA almost always on Sundays because it just makes the train travel easier. This year with only two series in SD and the insane pricing (they want over $100 for top deck seats in May) I may only catch one here.

My son went to Illinois Tech which is basically across the street from Comiskey, so I would go to 4-5 games a year with him while baseball and school were in season. Now that he's graduated and I have a new reason to not support ownership, management, and on-field product? Who knows.

I want an app on my phone where I can check a box to say I'm at this game, then later on it tells me dumb stats or summaries of all the games I've been to that season etc. What was my team's record in games I attended? Or what was my favorite player's stat line in those games? Essentially I want a "games I attended" filter on top of the Bref play index. Honestly this should be integrated into the MLB app or the MLB Ballpark app.

I have a closet full of broken baseball bats that I've been trying to figure out something to do with. I think I might make a few of them into mugs but like more normal sized.
