A Birthday to Remember


Let's all bring Mustang a cherry pie for his birthday.

I realize that cake is more traditional, but Mustang is not traditional. 

Have an exceptional slice, Mustang.

And stop worrying about our pitching staff.  

Worry about our catchers.

Mustang ate plenty of cherry pie when he lived in Seattle and tried to re-create the Twin Peaks experience.

Eat it with vanilla ice cream on top and saturate it with cherry brandy. Finally, use the old Bic to set it ablaze. That's extra untraditional.

Happy Birthday Mustang.

Would a Hostess Cherry Pie do? I could mail you one. I'm pretty sure they are indestructible.

Happy Birthday, Mustang!

We will NOT moon Big Papi.

We will NOT construct a human chain sign saying “FOOD STAMPS HAL”

But we may do something else, and we will be at the game as a unit - a coordinated, highly trained, commando JUJU INTERVENTION TEAM and we have a date for it, the only viable weekday day game in the whole season.

A "Mastercard Half-Price Game" against the Nationals on Thursday, August 24th at 1:05PM seems to be the best time.

Let's start gauging how many of us can get together and then we can do a group buy of cheap seats in the high sections.

And if you want to write, aim it at: motelsign (@) protonmail.com and obviously leave out the parentheses and the spaces.
You don’t have to commit now but, for those of us who survive that long, August will rise up fast, like a tractor trailer truck in the middle of the road while you’re doing 80.

As Yogi said, “it gets late early these days,” or something along those lines.

Who thinks they might make it?

This is an all-inclusive event, meaning you pay for a cheap ticket and we provide the human company, support, and esprit de corps.

By the way, I'm in on this. Full tilt. And who says we won't moon Papi?

Lemme check my busy calendar....yep, August 24th is still open. Sign me up.

JM said...

And happy birthday, Mustang!

If I'm on the East Coast I'm in.

How about getting tickets in the not-so-cheap section so we don't need oxygen masks and repellent against assorted avian species. I'm thinking those feces-infested hot dogs aren't rodent droppings but really seagull or pigeon turds.

Carl, I will definitely check out on possibilities. Just trying to get an idea if we are looking for five seats or 10 or 15. I think we had a good 15 people last time, but my memory is not what it was three years ago.

Carl J. Weitz said...

13...I think your memory is correct!

Although on second thought, if we do that Bronx bar again, perhaps it would be best if we were isolated from the general public.

I'm in!

Can't wait to see Judge pick up that 30th RBI.

Bumping this thread because I finally responded to the original email regarding the drunken geezer get together.

I meant, attending a game this summer.
