Let's Get Drunk and Watch Some LCS Action

So I was thinking about setting up an out-of-season get together. Originally, I thought I should schedule something over the winter break so that the college kids could attend, but I want the event to be somewhat baseball related. So I was gonna do a Let's get drunk and watch a 5 hour World Series game meetup, but upon looking at the schedule a minute ago, the only weekend night of World Series action is Halloween. Somehow, I think we'd lack participation, and I have no desire to see larry in his dead-horse costume.

So, because certain events have driven me to excessive drinking, and because this Friday affords us the opportunity to not-watch two LCS games, I've decided that our baseball-related off-season get together that existed only in my head -- there may yet be a Christmas break non-baseball event -- should be moved up.

Talk about some advanced notice. You're welcome. I'm a great planner.

When: Friday
Where: TBD -- Gimme me some suggestions
What: Have a beer w/ The Cheat and maybe watch some baseball.
Who: You and I, with special guest Miguel Cabrera

Way to mislead readers into thinking Beckham might be there. You should've posted a picture of your basement.

I really need to get up to Chicago sometime.

But I’d have to crash on Cheat’s couch in the basement.

Thanks for considering us who are in different time zones.

Yeah, we can just pick up and leave our families like you, Cheat. Except my bike ride is 1800 miles.

Is anyone up for a holiday get-together? Maybe Ozzie Montana is willing to offer his parents' sweet pad as a place to join and watch the Perfecto?

I'd love to see my parent's reaction when I tell them

“There are going to be 5-10 white people from ages 25 to 89 in your house watching a baseball game that happened 5 months ago. Oh, and can you make nachos?”

I’d be down for a Christmas break (In my mind everyone still gets 3 weeks off in December) meet-up.

seconded. and strike ozzie's parents making nachos and insert a killer curry/naan.

These events have me frightened and on the verge of evacuating my bowels.

Since OM's parents prrrrobably won't host us and I don't think we'd all fit in Cheat's basement, how about we go bowling?
