A Bud Selig bobblehead

[lylelgreen]

5-Below in Kentlands usually has curly W magnets

[RobDibblesGhost]

First postgame concert is after a 4:05 Thursday game in early June.  That seems strange.

[CALSGR8]

If you're A STH, you can't swap out a plan game for 95% of Bobble head nights!

Thanks. Heading there tomorrow.

The thing about a shirt is that if I see it on somebody else, I know that the two of us are in a small, elite club. It's like "hey, we were both among the first 10,000 fans in the stadium on July 2, 2011, cool".

But yeah, of all the stadium give-aways, the ones I still have are bobbleheads, figurines, and such. They're durable.

Or they shop at the Salvation Army

Interesting, and below that it shows the breakout of how they'll give RCR Loyalty Points out - you get double points for being in the park an hour before 1st pitch - ain't gonna happen for me.

Yeah, that's kinda strange.  I like to get to the park early, but an hour before first pitch is a stretch, especially on weeknights.

[OldChelsea]

Doing the schedule magnets at the pre-season match again, I see...must go!

I'm sure it makes sense from their end.  They're giving ten extra points for being early, which equals 1/5 of a 50 pt ticket that costs $25.  So, the value of ten points is probably roughly $5.  Getting someone into the park an hour early with no game to watch must, on average, lead to way more than $5 extra dollars in concessions purchases.

Exactly- they know those people are likely to spend more on $9 beers and other concessions.  It's all about the $$$$$$.

What's the Vegas line on the over/under on the LaRoche vote percentage... 9%?

Clip the heavy favorite at 60%
and Mattitude at 31%

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Ticket draft is going well, especially considering we have almost all lawyers in my group. We are up to pick #35 out of 60 and only started it 2 weeks ago. 

The Jayson Werth Garden Gnome game (8/5) lasted until pick #32, which is too bad because I had next pick.

The JZ bobble head went very early (pick #8, but it was a Sunday game), Clippard went at pick #18 (to the partner who got
erth), while the Ramos bobblehead lasted until my pick at #23.

Desi is still on the board, but the Werth / Clip person picks next before I pick again.  I've got to figure out whether I want the Cards or another the D-backs and Desi.

Has anyone heard anything about the free postgame concerts?  The first is on 6/5, so not really that far away, and as far as I can tell, they still haven't made any announcement of who will be playing.  Last year, didn't they announce them all before the season started?  Are they keeping it a secret, or have the not settled the arrangements yet?

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

Still nothing on their website.  But that first one is vs the Phillies, so you know it's going to be bad.  Maybe Hall & Oates bad.

I'm hard pressed to think of anyone more perfect for a post game concert than that, only way to top it would be if he played with Survivor.
