Sign Up Now. LL/USSM Talk with Zduriencik's Top Assistants, Jan 10.
UPDATE: If you are having any issues with signing up, you can email me or drop a line on the USSM folks. Derek provides some tips:
- If you don’t want to pay through Paypal for whatever reason email us and we’ll work something out.
- If you’re bringing a guest, email us with the name you donated under and your guest’s name.
- If you paid through PayPal via check, you don’t show up on the list until the check’s cleared. This takes a while. Please do not email us about this. We can’t make checks clear faster.
- If you paid and your donation doesn’t show up instantaneously, please do not email us about this. Give it some time.
- If something went horribly wrong, email us.
------------------------------ ORIGINAL ENTRY ------------------------------
To be held at the Seattle City Library, Central Branch on the afternoon of Saturday, January 10th. Scheduled to start at 1:30pm and last until around 5:30pm or so.
Guests will include most of the LL and USSM crew who will be on hand to answer any beer related inquiries.
Guests you might ask baseball questions to include GM Jack Zdureincik's top two assistants who he brought over from Milwaukee; Tony Blengino, our new czar of statistical analysis and other goodies and Tom McNamara, our new scouting director and possible Strasburg selecter.
The schedule for the event is simple, Blengino and McNamara will be there for a large, if not the entire, period of time. I cannot stress how awesome that is.
Cost is at the bargain basement price of $10. Click the pledgie icon to sign up. When you do, please DO NOT check the box to donate anonymously. We need your name to appear so that we can keep the list straight at check in.
Do it! Do it now!

If you used your paypal account
It will pull your name automatically. I think you’re on there unless there’s a different Robert who already paid too.

I used my paypal account, but didn't log into my pledgie account first.
Fuckity fuck, I’ve got receipts! I really want to hear what these guys have to say.
Formerly dpseadvr.
If you have a receipt, you'll be fine.
Though if you could drop a line to the USSM email address stating what you said above, it would help just for accounting purposes.
First one of these I've been to.
With the new management in town, can’t pass it up. I will probably not say anything and just soak up the goodness. Assuming there’s goodness, which if there isn’t, damn it.
Signed up for myself plus one
It’s been a while since we’ve had one of these. Can’t wait.
I'll donate, but please don't make me pay $10 every time I ask you about beer.

Don't think just do it! NOW! Don't Think NOW! 3 2 NOW!
So they’re just there so we can meet them and just ask them questions?
And can I hand the money there?
BOOYA! You got Slurved!
I'll be there.
May overlap with some work, but don’t really give a damn if I’m able to make most of it.

I could stage a holdout but I decided that the financial well being of the blogosphere was far more important than a measly 10 dollars
Ms. Jeff gets in for free too, suckers

Someone needs to ask McNamara how he decides
who to draft when multiple players have similar batting averages or ERA.
I'll try to get the day off work, but no guarantees.
I’d love to go, but working on weekends, living 90 minutes away in Bellingham and not having a car complicates. I’ll play it by ear.
Every day I hear about Seattle sports' failures. Every night I fall asleep to the sound of my own tears.
^complicates things.

That's it
It was an eCheck, so it’ll go through in a few days.
This baffled me all last night and occurred to me immediately this morning.
Maybe that's why mine hasn't gone through.
I did paypal, but it was supposed to take from my bank account.
I have the receipt in e-mail form either way.

Argh.
If I can just find someone to sub in for me in the jazz band I’m in I can go.
Same problem here. Except different instrument.

I'm bummed I'll be out of town
I bet this one will be great.

Excellent.
My payment is in. This sounds like its going to be a great event!
audio?
Living out of the area sucks. Any chance of audio for us out of towners?
I’d be willing to donate just for that.
The shirts are printing...
I'll buy them a damn video camera and train a monkey to operate it.
I’m always sad to miss these events, but especially so this year.
I wanna go too...
Stupid living in Connecticut and school in Massachusetts not letting me go to Mariner events
To echo Slurvey's question
Is there an option to pay at the door? Like maybe charge $12-$15 if you don’t prepay?
Email us at USSM
We’ll figure something out.

I fucking hate you all.
I sit here in Chicago, desperately wishing I could attend. Alas, the combination of airfare + hotel + losing my job for skipping it in the middle of a major deal + the $10 price tag just doesn’t add up for me.
I hope to read a good comprehensive report at the very least.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
That sounds like the title to a particularly bad Mariah Carey song.

The good thing about having sex with pregnant chicks is that they cant get pregnant.

Maybe I'm not seeing a response to this asked earlier...
But I donated for two of us – I still don’t see our names on the list, and I didn’t see anywhere to put names when I donated. Pledgie is a strange animal to me. I do have my PayPal receipt, however, so….
Can someone do a re-cap for me and email me the private info?
I was thinking of going as the flights were very cheap, but I couldn’t get the time off of work. I hate missing out on these things and a recap would be fantastic, but I appreciate the need to keep some info private.
I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!
Personal M's record: 5-4.

I wish I could go to this, but getting there is kind of a problem for me.
This would be a great way to see inside the new Mariners front office. I’m angry I can’t go.
Jeff's guide to not looking stupid:
+/- is an absolutely terrible stat, so don't use it, and don't give up on young players before they turn 24.
54!
