2007 Dallas SJ outing (Canceled)

Re: 2007 Dallas SJ outing

You still gonna buy me a tall, frosty glass of STFU, though?

 

Re: 2007 Dallas SJ outing

writing irish, I loved that ballpark, too. That old gal always did try to stay pretty, she was just no match for the blistering heat.

 

Re: 2007 Dallas SJ outing

You're going to have to tolerate my Ron Francis model. Though if you do find an Leafs authentic of Francis that costs less than a Porsche, I could be persuaded.

If that can't be done, I'll take a mask of Paul Maurice. With all due respect to Peter Laviolette, I miss that guy.

 

Re: 2007 Dallas SJ outing

If you show up and if I show up, I think we should bet on who owes who a drink.
If the Yankees are in first place (Please, God, please) then you owe me a beer.
If the Red Sox are in first place (If there really is a God, this won't happen, unless it is just another lesson for Red Sox fans about being in first in June only to piss away the AL East, again, in July, August and September and then finish behind the Blue Jays, then I will buy you a beer).
So, depending on who is in first place, that is who will buy the beer.

I thought this WAS a picture of the seventh-inning stretch .....

 

Re: 2007 Dallas SJ outing

Billy Martin had 'em winning out there for a minute or two

 

Re: 2007 Dallas SJ outing

All anyone remembers of the Toronto outing

The Irish Embassy where every night ended in well, hilarity:



No, those are not SportsJournalists.com members.

Betty's, scene of the Saturday night get together.



The Loose Moose.



Nope, not SportsJournalists.com members, but you get the idea.

Good times.

 

Re: 2007 Dallas SJ outing

But, as you said, the Red Sox always are in first place in June.

 

Re: 2007 Dallas SJ outing

So did Billy Hunter, following the four-managers-in-one-week surreality in the Summer of 77 (it was a wacky one in Arlington as well as NYC and London).

"He's not gonna make a lampshade outta me!" -Doc Ellis on Billy Hunter. This from the man who supposedly no-hit the Padres while on acid.

Great Rangers from the old days: Sundberg, Jenkins, Burroughs, Hargrove, Harrah. Campenaris at the end of his career. Then later on: Buddy Bell, Gaylord Perry, Al Oliver (one of the 1970s' most underrated players, IMO), Jon Matlack, Bert Blyleven, Jim Kern. Richie Fucking Zisk. Bump Wills. Mickey Rivers! Of course there were bad times too, like Roger Moret going into a catatonic state.

 

Re: 2007 Dallas SJ outing

So, just out of curiosity, when is the outing taking place?

 

Re: 2007 Dallas SJ outing

I'll have the dates nailed down early next week.

 

Re: 2007 Dallas SJ outing

Maybe I'll drive it. I'll stock up on diapers now.
