The worst part of the wave is that it exists.

A day or two ago, I noticed that the crowd jumped up right as the pitcher was making his delivery. I soon realized they were doing the wave, but for a split second I imagined that they all just saw a huge meatball coming out of the pitcher's hand and were already cheering the homer that was about to happen.

I'm easily entertained.

No, it's standing up for no reason

The worst part of the wave is when it's started

by obnoxious ten year old girls and you can't in good conscience flip them off.

Not sure yet

*maybe* the Tap House Grille but that's not set in stone.

Is it just going to be one game

or like last year with an M's game and a minor league game?

by thenatural on Apr 13, 2008 3:39 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Dave has a busy schedule

so I think it'll just be a block of hours eating and drinking somewhere. But don't take my word for it yet.

by Jeff on Apr 13, 2008 3:40 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Works for me

I'll actually be up there this year... Looking forward to it

by thenatural on Apr 13, 2008 3:41 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Here's the tentative plan

NONE OF THIS IS GUARANTEED

Several hours in the afternoon: eat, drink, be merry
Following: those with tickets go to the game, those without stay put and watch on the Tap House Grille's event room bigscreen

by Jeff on Apr 13, 2008 3:43 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I don't know what I'll be doing yet

but I think Dave and his girlfriend are going to go spend time with Dave's family afterwards, since that's kind of the whole point of their stop in Seattle.

by Jeff on Apr 13, 2008 5:25 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Crazy families.

Well, feel free to take my second ticket for that day, I haven't offered it to anyone else yet.

You going on Friday?

King Awesome Bobblehead Night.

by Jeff on Apr 13, 2008 5:34 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'll be going to all of 'em.

Let me know what you want tickets for, I usually only offer them out a week in advance to the LL regulars but if you don't want to buy M's tickets on your trip I can cover ya. I know Red's already got tickets to King Awesome Bobblehead night in his Boss's seats, so he'll be there.

Red already offered me a seat

but I don't know how many extra tickets he has or how many I'll need, so I'll have to let you guys know. If we need more than you have, though, I'm pretty confident that we'll be able to get free tickets regardless.

Certainly

A part of me wants to be mad, but my rational self knows I can't because there are a variety of unrelated, important circumstances involved.

Let me reiterate

If the day is set in stone, I cannot do any of this.

Oh but

depending on a few things we might do some smaller LL event on Sunday. Not sure.

by Jeff on Apr 13, 2008 3:50 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I certainly hope so

In any case, have fun, I guess.

Bunch of readers get together, play

I previously insisted on playing baseball but I don't think enough people here are up for that/good at it.

by Jeff on Apr 13, 2008 3:59 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I would like to play baseball

Though I haven't played since I was 19, and I'm not 19 anymore. Baseball is fine as long as we're not nazi's about the strike zone.

by Smegmalicious on Apr 13, 2008 4:01 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

We played stickball for a bit yesterday

And people were unhappy at the struggle just to play that, so yeah, baseball would probably be impossible. I'd be up for baseball but I may be in the minority.

by Gomez on Apr 13, 2008 6:13 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Then we can do it at 4:30?

I'm admittedly very sad

Also, I thought about it, and I'm actually doubtful for the entire weekend. My mother doesn't know the city at all, so I'll probably have to chaperone her around town. She flying home the night of the 15th.

Get Bavasi to get you group tickets at a discounted price.

Remember, he may be a bad GM, but he's a nice guy....right? Right...?

Argh

June 14th = my sister's graduation from college.

Lame. I'll need to sabotage her finals.

Hey

Your sister and I will be in the same place.

by Gomez on Apr 13, 2008 6:09 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Nah, she's WWU

So I'll have to drive up to Bellingham, attend a 2pm graduation, go to dinner afterwards, then speed down to Seattle, trying to make it to Safeco in time, without looking like a bad person for choosing LL over family. =/

I'm in a more impossible position

My mother and brother know next to nothing about the area. I can't really leave them.

by Gomez on Apr 13, 2008 6:14 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

An intriguing idea. We can try.

It depends on the graduation schedule and how feasible it is to get out of UW and to Safeco, on foot or by taxi, without running into any trouble. Getting tickets certainly wouldn't be a problem. They're not big baseball fans, but we DID watch last year's HR derby on TV and my mother had a reasonable interest in what was happening. I'll float it if it's logistically possible. I'm sure my mother would be keen on visiting the ballpark. 3+ hours in Safeco may be a bit of a grind for a non-diehard, but they may be willing to take it in, especially if I'm there to explain what's going on.

While I'd love* to skip my own graduation while my family's in town....

That show is mis-titled

It should be called 'most retarded fishermen' or 'idiot rednecks on a boat' or something like that. Especially since it's not the most dangerous job in the world and yet they constantly say it is.
