Since last time all we got to watch was football and tennis (or, more accurately, football pre-game and tennis rain delay) I suggest a meet-up for the LDS. Schedules are not out yet, obviously, but both the 7th and 8th will have three games.

Both will have two NLDS Games, while the 7th has the ALDS “A’ series (AKA “the long series”). We can wait out seeing who is playing when for the exact date on this, but just wanted to put it out there.

I’m up for this. I’ll need to numb the pain of the jury duty I’ll be starting that week.

Those days work for me, but let me check with Tigerine.

Sorry, I will be tracking down my roots in Africa.

Taking travel advice from Toto, huh?

So things could change, or the Yankees could do something surprising, but it appears for the moment that the 7th will feature the Yankees hosting the Twins/Tigers, while the 8th will have the Red Sox and Angels.

As mentioned, both days will also feature exciting Triple-A action, from that league where the pitchers bat. I will probably end up taking the whole day off so as to soak myself in baseball and, well, beer. So don’t let me drink alone!

I’ll be happy to end my hermitude, as I will almost definitely be done working by those dates.

If it’s a smallish meetup, I’d even suggest playing pool while watching the game at Amsterdam Billiards.  Just a thought, though, not required.

How old are all you dudes? I’m a supple 25 year-old.

How old are all you dudes? I’m a supple 25 year-old.

Supple?

I’m also 25. So you won’t be the only, ahem, supple one there.

Ok, here we go, assuming the Yankees take the long series

October 7
2:30: Rockies @ Phillies
6:30: AL Central @ Yankees
9:30: Cardinals @ Dodgers

October 8
2:30: Rockies @ Phillies
6:30: Cardinals @ Dodgers
9:30: Red Sox @ Angels

So I would tend to vote for the day with the Yankee game, but I’m willing to be flexible. I will not be drinking all day by myself!

You guys have a location and time yet? Amsterdam Billiards sounds fine to me. I’ll embarass myself on those giant regulation tables, though.

Amsterdam Billards is fine with me, although I am extremely unlikely to actually play pool given that I am (a) terrible and (b) considerably more interested in the games.

My only concern would be that we’re sure they will actually be showing all three games, and are capable of doing two at once. I haven’t been there in ages—since HS, probably—and they seem to have fancied it up a bit since then. If that’s not likely to be the case, I would vote for elsewhere.

A regular old sports bar is fine, too. Tonic, the Mercury Lounge, Ship of Fools. Whatever.

Ok, unless I hear a chorus otherwise, I will be at Tonic (7th between 48th and 49th) starting around 2:30 to watch the games. I’ll be in a suit, since I have been forced to go in to the office in the AM.

I’ll swing by for the Yankees around 6:30 unless I go to the game.

I will probably end up taking the whole day off so as to soak myself in baseball and, well, beer. So don’t let me drink alone!

Regards

Tanee
