Call for Headcount: Booze, Brews, and Boos for Brew Crew

by Slyde on Jul 8, 2009 2:30 PM EDT in Events Comment 54 comments

Will you come to the game if I promise that Joey Votto will hit a home run?

I know not everybody has been following along with the FanPost that I set up, so I wanted to make sure I put this somewhere that all interested parties might see it.

Here are the details:

What: Milwaukee Brewers at Cincinnati Reds
When: Saturday, July 18th
Where: Starting at Bar Louie at 5:30 PM, moving to GABP at 6:15 PM
Why: Edinson Volquez Bobblehead day, plus a big game against a division foe
Who: You, hopefully

What I need to know from you is if you want me to buy tickets for you so that you can sit with the Red Reporter group. Right now, I am planning to buy tickets on Friday, July 10th, so I kind of need your answer soon. If you would like me to pick up a ticket for you, please say so in the comments section. If you plan to fend for yourself, that's cool, we can still meet up and you might even be able to sit with us if the crowd is not too huge.

At this point, I am planning to buy one ticket each for BK, obc2, ash, jch24, chandrathan, farneyismycopilot, Madville, and myself. If you would like a ticket, please make sure I find out about it before Friday.

Also, if you are coming and would like me to buy a ticket for you, please let me know where you'd like to sit by answering the poll. Keep in mind that because it is a bobblehead game, it will likely be difficult to move down to better seats in the park.

Thank you for picking up my ticket, Slyde.

You’re like a sugar daddy. Only one that I will payback with actual money and not sexual favors. Also — Moon Deck.

Plus, not sure if anyone’s linked to this, but the Fay argues some of the points a few folks around here have been making.

Eighty-five percent of the f*ckin' world is working. The other fifteen percent come out here. A f*ckin' playground for the cocks*ckers.

Moon Deck is second'd

I find it interesting that we have 14 votes with only 9 people going

I’m going to assume Sun/Moon deck is the choice unless there is an overwhelming outcry in the comments section.

Field Box is making a run

Apparently people that aren’t coming want us to pay more…?

Sung Yung Moon the Nilihist Korean mystic doted on being one of the masses and regarded the equality of all as paramount

Personally I suggest field level 3rd or 4th row up directly between home and 1st base
However I figure we’ll be some where around here

I won’t be able to make it, I’ll be in Detroit on my summer tour of post-industrial wastelands. Sorry y’all, it sounds like fun.

Whoah

The Blue Jays have released BJ Ryan. They still owe him $15 million. Biggest contract bust ever? Career with Toronto (5 yr/ $55M contract): 155 IP, 2.95 ERA, 75 saves, 160 K, 69 BB

It was a bad contract when he signed it and now it looks even worse.

I thought of Ryan's contract when we shoveled cash on CoCo

Luckily we’re getting more return on that investment than the Jays did.

Hi - forget about me?

At least Ryan put up good numbers when he was healthy. We were paying this guy to sabotage us.

He sits alone...Reds are not home.

155 IP for $55 million? Good or bad doesn't matter

the volume is too low for it to be worth anything near enough.

Hijacking to ask a ticket question

I would love to join you guys on the 18th, but I am kind of far away. I will, however, be coming into Cincy to visit the folks at the end of the month. I just bought tickets for August 2nd against the Rockies.

Here is my question/story: I bought tickets online and was super excited (he typed with as much sarcasm as his keyboard could handle) to learn that August 2nd was the Creation Museum Faith Day!! So, if the Reds stink up the joint, I can have some fun by arguing with the folks next to me about evolution. The good news is that thanks to the mighty power of dinosaur Jesus, the tickets I purchased were half price. We’re in the field level for only 17 bucks each.

Then I notice, praise be to god, that day is also Jay Bruce jersey day, which will thrill my kids. However, and here’s where the question begins, if you click on the Jay Bruce jersey day link to buy tickets, you no longer get half-priced seats offered to you. So, does this mean that my kids will not get the Jay Bruce jersey because we bought Christian tickets instead of Satan-worshipping tickets?

The lesson here I offer to all of you is that you should click on all the promotions if you plan to buy tickets as the same game may be priced differently.

promotion

probably limited to the first 20000 fans that arrive. you should be good.

So....

… then I’d really be pissed if I did this the other way around – bought tickets under the Jay Bruce promotion and then found out about Faith Day. I’d probably even renounce my religion over it.

Just don't confuse him with me

I’m bribing mine, and leaving mine at home too. So don’t give him my tickets.

Speaking of, this RR thing sounds really fun and all. But are you doing your damnedest to make me regret selecting scout seats for this game while RRs party in the “cheap” seats?

"bribing?"

Ugh, how do I turn off mobile word “correcting” on iPhone? That should be “bringing.”. No bribing is needed to drag the wifey to a baseball game, or we wouldn’t be married.

you were bribing her to let you go.

Sigh

I would love to be attending the game with you and RR. Could not imagine a more fun set up. Living in Las Vegas kind of puts a damper on my ability to attend games, so I guess not.

Maybe I could offer a free nights stay in lovely Las Vegas in exchange for some Cincinnatti digs.

Go Reds.
