Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

LL Days In San Diego

Okay, so here's the deal. Even if you're already done so, if you're planning to be there, please email me and let me know which day (or both, if you're awesome).

Friday:

Batista vs. Germano, 7:05pm (Mike Cameron T-shirt day!)

Meet-up at The Field (Irish Pub) ~5:30. 544 Fifth Avenue, between Market and Island in the Gaslamp, about two blocks from the park. I'll be the guy in the home Ichiro jersey surrounded by beautiful strangers.^

As for the game itself, if you don't already have tickets, I'm sitting in 309 (upper infield reserved), back ten rows. I hope I bump into this guy at the top of the escalator.

Saturday:

Jeff Weaver. No thanks.

Sunday:

Felix vs. Young!, 1:05pm.

Meet-up at Bondi Bar (Australian pub) ~11:30. 333 Fifth Avenue, between J and K, also in the Gaslamp. Two blocks from the park. I've never been there, but the place comes highly recommended. I'll still be the guy in the home Ichiro jersey, although my crowd of beautiful strangers will be less in number as I begin to weed out the relative uggos.^

My ticket this time is in the first row of 126 (left field lower boxes). If you don't have tickets yet, and you've never been to Petco for a Sunday matinee, avoid right field, because the sun is a bitch, and it's totally not worth the discomfort unless you're one of those people who's unusually proud of scorched foreheads and elbow tans.

Again, just email me as a heads-up, and I'll see some of you there.

(^ - I'll actually be the guy in the home Ichiro jersey standing alone with beer, because I like Ichiro, and I like beer.)

THat's what I hear, but I haven't been to

It's on my list for a vacation destination one of these years (hopefully soon).

I think a lot of people did the SoCal vacation
as a kid!

We are there in Spirit
and in drunkiness.

Boags
Wow, the Bondi Bar sells Boags. Could someone who goes taste it for me and tell me what you think because I'm Tasmanian and Boags is just a generic beer down here.. But we do have great brewing conditions here so I'll be interested to see how our local beer stacks up against yours over there.

Have fun
and somebody take some pictures to share...

I would have been there Jeff
but I am working up in Washington this summer and am not moving back until the end of the summer.

Have a good time!

The person with his user name set as Ron Mexico is the best.  Hip, Hip, Hooray for herpes!!!
Its like the luck of the Irish, only Im not Irish so you figure it out.

My favorite part
was how NFL.com wouldn't let people customize "Mexico" Falcons jerseys after that.

Also awesome was
the video game "Blitz: The League," which had a black, left-handed, speedy quarterback wearing #7 for the Atlanta team named "Mike Mexico." Here's a screen:

just because
that assclown started to get caught with bongs in the airport, flippin off the crowd, pissing fire, and fighting dogs, doesn't mean that I should change my name.

by Ron Mexico on Jun 8, 2007 2:02 PM PDT up reply actions  

daaaaaaaaaamn
Jeff,

I definitely won't be able to make Fri or Sun's games, but I was initially planning on rolling down from LA for Saturday's game...and now that I see Weaver's name I'm not so sure.  Still probably 50-50 I'll go -- but I hear ya when you say "no thanks"

by SankTheTank on Jun 8, 2007 12:22 AM PDT reply actions  

One of these years...
I'll have to fly down for a M's series in SD.

Pity this weekend is my poker tourney in Vegas...

by eponymous coward on Jun 8, 2007 10:39 AM PDT reply actions  

Well, perfect.
After you bust out early tomorrow morning you can be here in plenty of time for Felix Day.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jun 8, 2007 11:18 AM PDT up reply actions  

Nice try.
Tournament doesn't start until noon, though. Plus there are other activities planned as well.

I plan on putting down 50 or 100 on the Padres for Saturday, though. If my team is going to be stupid enough to start Reefer Jaw, I might as well make some money off of it...

by eponymous coward on Jun 8, 2007 1:27 PM PDT up reply actions  

Wow
I was just looking online, Pinnacle Sports has the Padres at only -147 for that game. That's almost free money.
