Even with the Reds having an off night tonight, there is still some drama. That's right, something crazy is going to happen on Two and a Half Men, I just know it. Use this thread to talk about that, or you know, basebally stuff.
By the way, rumor has it that there could be a party down at Fountain Square tonight if the Cardinals lose. If you go, please take lots of pictures as those of us who live WAY out in the suburbs are too wimpy to travel downtown in the rain at 11 o'clock at night.

I won the opportunity to purchase NLCS tickets tomorrow!
I’m excited, but also feel a little weird about it. Is it jinxing the Reds for me to buy NLCS tickets when we haven’t even clinched the division, let alone won the NLDS? And why am excited about having permission to give obsence amounts of money to the Reds and therefore plunging myself into debt?
Oh well. If we make it to the NLCS, I’m totally going to be at GABP! Whooo!
Finally, if you will permit me, I'd like to make a comment which in my mind, is indicative, perhaps, of the greater significance of football and sports emphasis in general in this country, and that is, I thank God I was warring on the gridirons of the Midwest and not on the battlefields of Europe.

Great so have I. Let the best man get tickets.

Yeah, I bought NLDS tickets on Reds.com on Saturday
And it took me 30 minutes because it kept timing out. I anticipate it will be exponentially worse tomorrow.

I just had my first online pizza ordering experience
I remember Papa John’s being tastier. This is, quite literally, weak sauce.
Papa Johns was okay
when I worked at Nutter and it was pretty much free… otherwise, meh.
I do like paying too much for LaRosas. Sauce is extra good.
I could sleep when I lived alone.
Is there a ghost in my house?
I've never particularly liked Papa Johns-the crust tastes funny to me
But I got spoiled in Iowa City with Pagliai’s. The chains don’t do it for me any more.

honestly
unless I’m in the first row, I think I would rather sit mezzanine or view level box. When I was young my parents always got tickets in the red seats behind home plate, and because of that I feel backwards when I’m in the outfield.

I agree.
Even when you’re lower to the field, being in the outfield feels too far from the action. But it’s probably that I’m used to sitting closer to home plate.

only now, my request can’t be processed due to the high transaction volume. lame!
any luck?
i got through eventually, but since i had clicked on “best available” i had the option of the $165 club seating tix… and since i’m poor, i had to start all over again.
i’m thinking there might not be much left, and that’s why we’re having trouble.
