Sabermetrics Night at US Cellular

[Baseball Prospectus is] tentatively planning a Sabermetrics Night with the Chicago White Sox, to be held during their series against the Oakland A’s that will run from Monday, June 1st through Thursday, June 4th. The night will consist of a pre-game talk and tickets to the game. There are a few seating options we are considering, and we want your input as we make our decision as to where to hold the event at US Cellular Field.

are there plugs for my laptop?

Didn't someone from the board go to this previously?

I may be thinking of something completely different, but if not, any insight on it’s worth would be appreciated.

57,314

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

I'm only going if Billy Beane is attending

So I can punch him in the face for the Nick Swisher debacle.

Kind of reminds me of "The Outsiders"

on second thought, maybe not. Probably more like George McFly vs. Napoleon Dynamite.

Because of all the weekends to pick

you pick Memorial Day Weekend. Going down to Florida to see the inlaws that weekend – we do it every year. Go diving and fishing. Probably swing by and say hi to Mrs. WU if you are out of town too, you POS!

Sorry - that was my "pick" - but I really had no idea it was Memorial Day until after I suggested it.

Turns out my vacation is a day longer than I thought, so it worked out pretty well for me!!
Like I said in the original post – those were just the dates I’d be in town and could make it….the Chicago-based lot of you are free to have another shindig later in the season….
Or maybe you and larry could have a little “date night.”

...and then some depressed fucked-cake eating.

Don't be sorry...that's just the reasoning for not being able to make it.

I know it works a lot better for the out of towners to come in for the long weekend.

I wouldn’t want to impose on the love fest that is larry and WU. WU would probably get jealous and come at me with a steak knife after boiling my dog. (fatal attraction)

The only love fest that will be happening is between larry and me.

And even that is going to end in bloodshed.

sheesh, you two...WU, you act like you're committing some sort of marital crime by having a facebook page....

Was it wrong of me to tell your wife she rocked through your status?

yes.

Huh.

Like I told WU, I feel like some sort of mistress with the way you two are acting.

By ignoring WU’s wife’s reply, wouldn’t it seem MORE weird to her? I would have liked to meet her in SF too this summer all the same…. I don’t know about all this “separating worlds” crap you two are spouting.

i don't know what you guys are talking about either.

i’m just siding with WU. because he’s in my world. you have chosen to remain outside of it.

ooohhhh I get it now.

Why do I get the feeling that after we hang at the game on 5/22, I’ll send you that friend request and you’ll reject it?

Just a hunch….. :)

ok good, only plans were to be drunk all weekend. this will be a good way to start it off.

What better weekend to get together than honoring our dead soldiers,

you POS. And I will alert Mrs. WU that a maniac with Bermuda shorts, a Hawaiian shirt, black socks, and sandals sporting a “Who Farted?” hat might come to the front door asking for meth. No surprises there – we live in Central Florida – but your accent might throw her.

I knew you lived in a trailer park

Why else would meth heads randomly come to your door?

I do not wear bermuda shorts – when I am on holiday, I wear my signature neon green thong (works on St. Patty’s day too). I don’t want any tan lines.

I once stayed in Central Florida overnight. I was in college and a girl and I decided to drive to Miami. Well, this chick was from the back woods of kentucky, was hot, but didn’t have a drivers license. hence, I had to do all the driving. I got tired so we stopped at some tiny motel off the interstate (probable close to your trailer park). Guy comes to the front desk to help us with no pants on, just boxers and no shirt with the most back hair I have ever seen on a man. I ask for a room…it was $12 (great friggin deal I was thinking). Then we get to the room, it is totally bug infested – but I am exhausted after driving for 12 hours, so I just want to sleep (I even turned on the bed shaker, only 1 quarter!) . The girl that was with me was freaked and wouldn’t sleep. I just passed out. She finally woke me up a few hours later and wanted to leave – said the creepy front office dude was staring at us through a hole in the wall. I saw the hole, but no creepy dude. I then took a rusty water shower and was on my way. What a crap hole you live in.

I forgot to tell you one of the best parts

The creepy dude didn’t want to sell me the room because he thought us kids “just wanted to party”. It was 4am, I had been driving for 12-hours straight and a bomb ridden ditch in afghanistan would look pretty attractive compared to this dump – so I had to TALK HIM INTO selling me a room. Unreal.
