Like Todd... you fire $500 bets on garbage badguy23 picks but you won't fork over a few thousand for a moment for yourself and son? I dunno, honestly that comes off strange to me. Like I can't imagine putting a dollar amount on something like that. Like I can't imagine knowing I had the means to blow the money for that sort of bonding experience but not going because I chalked it up to inflated ticket prices and trying to justify that your son would appreciate it more in later years, banking on the dodgers running it again.
shrugs
but thats just me
gotta agree here.Quote:

How old is the kid? I think you have to be at least 8 to truly appreciate something like that. I know Druff has an older daughter but I think his son is only like 5 or 6 or something?Quote:

can't say I disagree
SysOp: i wish my dad took me to the 84 tiger's ws, except i was born in 85
At least your dad has a case, I was born in 1984.
My dad took me to the magglio walk off game.
Took over 8 at EV along with all the other dumb money for game 6.
Well I hope for your sake the Astros score 9 runs because JV is throwing a no no.Quote:

My oldest is 6 and I gauranfuckingtee he'd remember the game and enjoy it. And Druffs autist child probably has the wherewithal of at least an 11 year oldQuote:

Taking an unsolicited shot at somebody's kid is kinda low even for you.Quote:

So I have tickets for the wings right on the glass tomorrow night $200 bones but also jv could win his ring at the same time.
whats my play here? normally I'd say fuck the rando wings game but the seats are great and it's a brand new stadium which i haven't been to yet.
fuck
The arena is nice, was there Tuesday with the gf, I'd watch Verlander win his world series.Quote:

Come on dude. Why you doing this to me & making me say it? Especially since I know you're a good, knowledgeable hockey fan.Quote:

The seats next to the glass are shitty seats regardless of what celebrities that like to be seen @ games say.
There, I said it.
comped seats, I didn't buy them.Quote:

I think I heard as late as last show the boy is 7.
Chavez Ravine
Bottom of 7th inning
Faint orange glow and smoke in left field stands
Ben: "Hey Dad, why are the Mexicans trying to burn down the stadium?"
Todd: "Forget the Mexicans son, I have something I want to tell you. I'm your father but I'm not perfect. I don't know baseball but your Uncle Lew does."
Ben: "Can I have some popcorn?"
Todd: "Ben! You won't understand this now but someday you will. I bet the Astros pitchers Verlander & McCuller before the game.
Ben: "I thought we wanted the Dodgers to win?"!
Todd: "We do but we had a fun day at the game. We had 3 pizzas. We gave that old Jew Larry King sitting next to us a slice. Because I didn't confuse fun with reality I bet the Astros and we enjoyed this day for free."
Ben: "I want a Benjamin or I'm gonna tell sanlmar about this"
Todd peels off a $100 with a faint expression of pride
Todd: "It's the 7th inning so we need to get going. When we get home I want you to write a thank you note on the PFA forum. It will be your first post."
Ben: "Okay Dad. I'm gonna remember this day forever! Is Larry King's wife a MILF?"
oh I know we're kiddingQuote:

like hockeyguy is alluding to you need to sit up slightly higher for the whole scope.
also sucks for the palace that the pistons left too, i can honestly say theres not a bad seat in the house.
Verlander is going to choke game 6.
can i ask you a serious question?Quote:

If I took him to a substantially worse view, he would tune out, even in a World Series game.
He's not invested enough in the idea of the Dodgers winning the World Series to where it would be super-meaningful, especially if his view of the game wasn't excellent.
When he gets older, I'm sure that will change.
Dude, honestly, stop being such a cheap bastard and take your son to the fucking game.Quote:

hey, baby benny can TRUNK or treat in the parking lot. lets not pretend like that's not a thing.Quote:

When Benjamin gets older, you have to show him this thread where a bunch of random guys plead you to take him to the game.
He can go trick or treating every year. It's not every year you see Dodgers in the World Series.
Sometimes we need to make hard decisions for our loved ones, that they not might not like initially but its best for them.
a lot of thisQuote:

its like bro, just be a dad and enjoy the moment once in your life my g-d
leeee sigh, guess im going to the wings game. according to my friends theres a lot of bars in and around the stadium to watch the world series, so i get to go to a game i dont care about and pay like 8x the price for drinks to watch the game I do care about.
Astros open +115 --> -115 --> +105
Was someone indicted? This seems pretty clear cut. What is with the whipsaw?
sell the comped tickets, goto greektown and watch the baseball game and drink with your free moneyQuote:
