Okay, cool!

I wasn’t sure if it was just my Mom and I who called him that or what.

Kinda miss the guy. I know the whole beating up Gardy’s office door thing… but he’s been a good pitcher.

I got too emotionally invested in the Tigers game. It’s nice to have a game on where I don’t care about the outcome.

That was an amazing description of a ballpark bratwurst and a pretzel.

Paraphrase. Can't hear.

Watching some girl do Help! ballad-style

Juicy bratwurst with brown mustard and sauerkraut on a toasted bun

Served with a golden pretzel fresh from the oven.

Also, Help! is not a ballad. I have heard “A Hard Day’s Night” done as a ballad, but I’m going out on a limb and saying that that girl is not Goldie Hawn.

Back in my terrible world...

I just watched some other girl pretty much nail a pop/electro version of (I can’t get no) Satisfaction

by spanspanspan on Oct 13, 2011 8:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

The Britney Spears version?

(The fact that I know the Britney Spears version is directly related to the fact that we share a birthday and my college friends thought they were being funny.)

Heh

Ben Revere has had an interesting day on twitter. Here’s his latest:

The awkward moment when your signing autographs for fans and a pretty girl walks by and your teammate goes, “what you think about her” and [y]ou go, “she’s a five star chick” and the dude in front of you hears you and goes, “well thank you that’s my daughter”

Yeah. He's totally going to be in Gardy's dog house.

We've also been treated

to these gems from earlier:

No context here so I’m hoping it’s a reference of some sort. And:

Half-rate Whitney Houston, not so much.

The gospel cover was actually done by a bluegrass band

It was amazing… Jake Armerding’s annual cover show. I think he moved to Minneapolis… you people who are still there should go see him.

Is this game better or worse than the ALCS game?

Brewers pull ahead

And all I can hear is the beer man on the radio.

By the way, did you know there are no beer men in California ballparks? You have to go up to the stands yourself.

by ColossusOfRhode on Oct 13, 2011 9:40 PM EDT reply actions  

I have to anyway

none of the beer men have Summit.

by archie2227 on Oct 13, 2011 9:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

EXACTLY

In the dome they used to sell Summit in the stands, but Target Field? NOOOOoooOOOO!

"It happened in the moment, and it happened." - Carlos Gomez

by myjah on Oct 13, 2011 9:42 PM EDT up reply actions  

First time I went there

I was in a panic. Must have missed the nearest Summit stand so I kept going vendor to vendor seeing nothing but $7 crappy beers.

by archie2227 on Oct 13, 2011 9:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

I generally sit in the Legends Club

They don’t make it very hard to find any type of alcohol. 3 giant bars and other various stands.

by archie2227 on Oct 13, 2011 9:47 PM EDT up reply actions  

I sat in the Legends Club once (on your stubhub tip, I believe)

They make a better root beer float up there than they do downstairs. Orders of magnitude better.

by ColossusOfRhode on Oct 13, 2011 9:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yep, that was me.

The nachos are better, too. The vegetarian chili actually has some spice to it. Oh, and the 32 oz margaritas are awesome.

by archie2227 on Oct 13, 2011 9:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

I went back the next day for a game with my parents that had been planned way in advance

I was really sad when I got the root beer float downstairs and it wasn’t as epic as upstairs. They didn’t even give me the bottle of remaining root beer.

by ColossusOfRhode on Oct 13, 2011 9:52 PM EDT up reply actions  

Lame

If you ever get the chance look for Legends Club section G. Tend to be a bit more pricey but you get the benefit of heckling Bert before the game.

by archie2227 on Oct 13, 2011 9:55 PM EDT up reply actions  

Ahh

yup, you were right there. I forgot how cheap they got last year. 2010 was 55 bucks for A or R

I still can't believe

I managed Dugout Box for $20 in September. Those things are $80 at face value.

by archie2227 on Oct 13, 2011 10:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah... the game with my parents?

That was me paying face value for dugout box for their anniversary present months in advance. I was kicking myself.

by ColossusOfRhode on Oct 13, 2011 10:01 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah, and they lost that game too

But we got Jim Thome wind up walkers… but Thome was already an Indian by that point.

by ColossusOfRhode on Oct 13, 2011 10:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

I bought stub hub tickets to that game

Got my walker. GOT WASTED. Stole a second walker from this guy who always sits at the bar in the metro club.

I returned his later tho… During Thome’s first at bat back at Target Field as an Indian! Yeah I timed that.

You can get Guinness in the Metro club...

Guinness is overrated

never understood why people think of it as some super dark beer. Sure, it looks dark, but it’s surprisingly mild.

Have you had it in Ireland?

Not to sound like one of those people, but it’s significantly better over there.

by ColossusOfRhode on Oct 13, 2011 9:53 PM EDT up reply actions  

I hadn't until last summer

Going to England and Ireland is surprisingly easy. No language barriers to deal with.

I've never even been there

I went to Italy and Germany and shit when I was like 13 I think

I think it’s similar to how Nick Punto was eligible to play for team Italy.

by ColossusOfRhode on Oct 13, 2011 10:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

People actually from Ireland are fucking awesome

Anyone descended from Italy is awesome, because they mostly have massive alcohol tolerances, like me.

Maybe that isn’t awesome tho, huh?

It IS better there

But if your preference is good lagers & ales, better stout isn’t nirvana.

But I love me a Black & Tan or two..

I dunno

Lion Stout is pretty delicious. I generally stick to IPAs, though.

by archie2227 on Oct 13, 2011 10:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

Never had it

If I ever see it in MN, I’ll give it a shot. Lion Stout is dangerous. Something like 9% abv. Basically, 2 beers apiece.

by archie2227 on Oct 13, 2011 10:16 PM EDT up reply actions  

Umm... because it's delicious?

I've never ordered it at the ballpark

That I can remember, anyway… I often order it when I know I’m getting to drunk, because of the lower alcohol content

What a pitch!

The checked swing shouldn’t have mattered. That was a strike.

by archie2227 on Oct 13, 2011 10:28 PM EDT reply actions  

No

2-2 pitch. Fielder barely checked his swing, but the pitch clipped the low, inside corner. All other pitches that AB had been up so I get it, but that pitch was too good to not be called strike 3.

by archie2227 on Oct 13, 2011 10:34 PM EDT up reply actions  

Pitch tracker said it was on the corner

Could have gone either way (called strike or checked swing)

by spanspanspan on Oct 13, 2011 10:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

It was just a beautiful pitch

up, up, up, up then, “Oh, I guess I’ll just break this one off on the low inside corner.”
