RR Outing: Lullvile Bats in the 614 Monday Night
via www.dispatch.com
Tickets to the Clippers' new Huntington Park went on sale this morning and it appeared that the opening homestand might be on its way to selling out. (Hotcakesque, even.) So I went ahead and purchased four reserved bleacher seats. Six bucks each. Second row. Left field. Behind Reds' Top Ten-ish prospect Danny Dorn.
I'm gonna hold one for '3 Fast 3 Furious' until he tells me to do otherwise and of course I'm gonna need a place to sit soooo.... I've got two left. Who's in?
The game is Monday night. First pitch is at 635. Ideally, we could meet somewhere around 6? (We'll figure all this out below.) And of course, if there is more interest in this RR outing we can always figure out who else wants to go and how to get bleacher seats for them.
Go Bats!

I'm in.
My GF might be too, but that remains to be seen.
She won’t be upset if the other two go to RRs.
Speak up, Columbusers.

FWIW
I guess it cold be Gomes in LF Monday night. I don’t know who’s getting more playing time and where.
Also, I think the Clippers/Indians stud prospect has been playing some LF so we may be two rows behind him in one of his last few minor league games.

Did you mean the tickets were selling like hotcakes?
Or that the Hotcakes sold out by whoring out “Paint the Town Red?” Oh, you’re just a clever wordsmith.

Did that song go away?
I remember hearing it a lot during Spring Training and then I remember all the bitching and moaning about it and now that you mention it I don’t think I’ve heard it since then.
Maybe it’s primarily on the radio broadcasts?

I think due to the public sentiment, it's been reigned in a bit

I'm probably out Monday, but there's a possibility I could make the trip up Tuesday
Any other Cincy RRs are welcome to ride up with me as well, if this happens

Its probably going to happen - bend over

Give me one day to clarify my obligations and I’ll let you know.

I'll go Tuesday, too, if my softball game doesn't happen.
So, for Monday, we have FVA, maybe menace and Mads, and me?
Or did I get lost somewhere?

Monday's head count:
sound pretty confident that they’lll be there:
1. Me
2. 3 Fast
3. Menace
sounds interested in being there:
4. Madville
sounds like she has no idea that she may be going:
5. Madville’s daughter
Mads, let us know if you and your daughter firm up your commitment. We may have to make plans to get you an extra ticket.
Anyone else for Monday’s game?

CMH RR's beware
Mads will buy the tickets before the game. Right? We’ve heard this one before…recently!

I just got back from a little self-guided walking tour of "the Hunt."
It’s awwwwwwesome.
I’m all geeked up for Monday night. (And I may get out again for Tuesday’s game.)
BTW, Tuesday night will be nuts down there as it’ll be the Blue Jackets’ first ever home playoff game. Game on!

I scouted out what I think should be some close but out-of-the way free parking.
Maybe not on an NHL playoff night but for the rest of the season it should get the job done.
The stadium is not yet on Google Maps’ satellite view but it’s gonna be in that big dirt lot at the corner of Nationwide and Neil. Check out Hocking Street. (West of the stadium under some railroad tracks.)
Don’t tell anyone.

Mid term exams are in full force at OSU
My daughter is a BioChem major with a minor in African/African American studies. She cannot attend the game. She doesn’t want me around o distract her from mid term studies.
Therefore I will not be making this particular game, Sorry
And obc…I would’ve purchsed tickets in advance of game #2 but no one was interested…so don’t go dissing me in front of these Colombus-ites…No one responded to my suggestion so fuck you and the Red’s Cheerleader that you rode in on.

im having second thoughts about Tuesday
it’s supposed to rain all evening, and ive even heard forecasts for snow. so even if they get a game in, it likely wont be pretty.

1 ticket available
It turns out I can’t make it so there’s one ticket available. It’s at will call under the names Sites, Nathan, Menace*. The ticket guys understand that one of the party has an unknown last name and is going by a nom de plume. If anyone wants to be the Menace they are welcome to join Alan and 3 Fast.

FVA
Right now I have someone that will take the last ticket if no one else from RR steps up.
If you’re okay with it, I’ll put a deadline of hearing from someone else here at 530.
If any RRs are interested, email me at the addy in my profile.

If anyone's interested in an eyewitness report..
..ask 3 Furious. He was the only Red Reporter who made it to the game. Five or six innings of it, anyway. (My apologies to 3F3F. I had to take one for the team last night.)
I did see some Mudhen action at ‘the Hunt’ on Sunday afternoon. It’s gonna be a great place for a Red Reporter event when the Bats come in for a June weekend series. There is a lot of space for standing around and drinking and casually watching the game. Sometimes while perched far away from the action. Sometimes not!

bummer
my wife’s boss went to the game last night, and he said everyone left during a 13 minute rain delay. he moved up to the first row at 3B and got 2 foul balls.

You goin' tonight?
I am again needed at home so I don’t think I’m gonna make it out.
Bailey’s pitching on 920am, Columbusites!
I’m going to tomorrow’s game. I think I’ll have all three of the little ones with me. We should be good for a few innings as long as it doesn’t rain.

i dont think im going tonight
the forecast says it’s likely to be raining all evening, and in the mid-40s. and im a bit under the weather as it is. it really sucks, because the Bats are only in The Bus 3 times a year. looks like the June weekend series is going to be the one.
Consider the Eskimos.

Rosales was the only Bat that looked any type of competent in the 5 innings I saw
Rosales had a strong second AB running the count full and fouling off a few tough pitches before driving a double into the right centerfield gap. That was the first hit for the Bats and I believe it came in the 4th. Everyone else looked to be struggling with the LH pitcher for the Clippers. Valaika K’d his first at bat and then hit a solid liner right at an IF in his next.
Apparently after I left the offense woke up a bit.
Note to self, Girlfriends + it only being Minor League Baseball + Rain and Rain Delays = short games
