        The downside to your plan… you have to be fairly close to the tree to shoot it with a .44. The tree is going to fall in the direction of the hole you blast.

        Ergo, tree land on you!

        • FreeSeatUpgrade Aug 31,2011 6:05 pm || Up

          Yeah, really you need an AK or something with which to unload many projectiles from a respectful distance away. Or something really big like a .50 cal.

          Actually, I’m not so sure about that, because the exit holes are going to be larger than the entrance holes and more fraught with damage, unless it’s a really old and thick tree that would stop the bullets before they exit.

    So who wants the rest of my Tuesday night tickets (9/6, 9/13, 9/20) if Bloom doesn’t? Or if he does, you can duke it out with him.

    And/or who wants parking passes and can figure out how I can get them to you? I think I have five and, unlike tickets, they can’t be transferred via email.

    There's a wild thing in the woolshed and it's keeping me awake at night.
    • Leopold Bloom Aug 31,2011 4:54 pm || Up

      I want 9/20, I think.

      • Poppy Aug 31,2011 5:06 pm || Up

        OK, I’ll pencil you in for that one, but I won’t email it to you unless you’re sure about it on 9/19.

      I have tix for 9/6 already, would definitely take 9/13 and/or 9/20 tix if available, and also as many parking passes as are available. And if otehr more prompt or deserving FKers get to you first, that’s cool too. I’ll drop an email forthwith.

      Okay, I’m confused. FSU gets my 9/13 tix. He already has 9/6 tix. Do YOU (LB) already have 9/6 tix, or are you saying you want mine?

      • Leopold Bloom Sep 1,2011 12:14 am || Up

        Yes! I want the 9/6 tix, and I will sit with fsu and ed and dfa.

        • FreeSeatUpgrade Sep 1,2011 8:38 am || Up

          And since Poppy’s seats are better than mine, we should all sit there…two legit tix should be more than enough foothold to get 4 of us in there.

      • FreeSeatUpgrade Aug 31,2011 6:21 pm || Up

        I think I’ve said before that the first year I lived in Hawaii, in 1975, the Islanders still played in the old wooden downtown ballpark that was seriously termite infested. Swarms were commonplace…big crunchy tropical bugs…and at the first game I attended, the national anthem singer stepped to the mike, took his deep breath, and nearly collapsed in a coughing spasm due to the multiple termites he’d just inhaled.

        Later that night after the game we lost my 6 year old brother Jeff. Started searching frantically, got stadium personnel involved…and then 10 or 15 minutes later he emerged from the Islanders clubhouse with an armful of hats, baseballs, and a bat. A coach found him crying and introduced him to all the players, who gave him stuff.

        To this day Jeff is a far more accomplished FSU’er than I. Without tickets he took his son to Philly for Game 3 of the ’08 Series, talked a stadium employee into just letting them in right before first pitch, and ended up sitting in like Row 3 for most of the game.

        It would be interesting to see a full list of the number of times relievers warm up without getting into the game immediately. I haven’t seen such a list so it must not be kept formally. I know some relief pitchers keep that information themselves in their notebooks. It might give some substance to issues such as Rob Bowen’s allegation of Geren’s abuse of the pitching staff.

    Between them Sweeney and DeJesus have 14 of the A’s 29 LOB (so far).

  13. FreeSeatUpgrade Aug 31,2011 8:49 pm

    They say an OF should play at the range of his arm when the winning run’s at 3rd with less than two outs. So I imagine Coco was at the edge of the grass. The infield grass.

    I don’t get why with two outs, no force, and your run meaningless why you wouldn’t just sit on second base. By taking a lead all you do is risk making an out before the run can score.

      Shoot. I would be but I’m going to be in Big Sur over the weekend.

      If you need me I guess I can submit a list.

      Similar to NM-not sure of my availability this weekend, but if it’s an autodraft with yahoo or someone I can get set up if you need folks…
