spitballing: WNFF baseball/softball/whatever scrimmage/get-together thing?

For once in my life I find myself agreeing with CatsEye. 

What gives people?  What say y'all?

That's the right idea.  Find a host/hostess, with a ballfield close by that we could play on, then retire for an afternoon of couch burning socializing.

My sister-in-law (UMD grad - 1999) says that you guys like burning couches if you win the opening coin-toss.  Is that true?

  Or maybe even if they lose the coin toss in protest.

More discussion on the awesomeness of this idea is required.

So are we set on the weekend of Sept 24th-26th then?  Hard to make any other plans until we nail that one down.

So are we set on the weekend of Sept 24th-26th then?  Hard to make any other plans until we nail that one down.

If I was choosing that would be my choice; but I don't want to schedule something that nobody can make.  If more people can show up for a different weekend that I can't get to then you guys should schedule it.

If a date is the next step then let's hammer one out. 

[Galah]

Odds are pretty good that I can make that weekend

Should we just go ahead and book this for September 24th - 26th then?  Play the WNFF game on Saturday and all go to the Braves game on Sunday?

I like that idea, but we need to get others to weigh in.

[saltydad]

Sounds good for me.

I may actually be in but I wouldn't count on me for squat. Sounds like fun.

bring me birthday presents then.

I turn 30 on the 17th.

[CALSGR8]

come to think about it, my best friend's daughter turns 16 that weekend.   Not sure if she needs my help with her party.  Hmmm.

Playing a ball game with members of the WNFF isn't present enough???

Maryland is home vs. FIU on the 25th at TBA, but I'd bet it's an early afternoon game.

FIU has that phenom player right? Pretty awesome.

[Minty Fresh]

Caught a complete game shutout last night and the competitive juices are flowing now.  Let's DO THIS!

Well done Minty!

I turn 30 on the 17th.

Hey, me too!  Except I'll be 29.

[Mathguy]

I'll be 56 and at one of Strasburg's starts next week.  I'd just like a beer ( or 2 or 3 or 4 or ...)

bring me birthday presents then.

I turn 30 on the 17th.

[CALSGR8]

My b-day would be in the playoffs or WS on Oct 13.  I'll wait a year or 2.

[2IPAs]

I'm not interested in the softball game, but going to a game as a group sounds like fun. Not 100% sure we'll be in town that weekend because it's one of the weekends that we have Friday off, and we tend to go to the beach. Just FYI--9/26 is Scout Day on the promotional calendar, so the ballpark may be overrun with kiddies.

[CALSGR8]

big ones and little ones. 

[DPMOmaha]

so, the more I think about this, it's probably not realistic that I'll be able to make it.  One of these days, I'll get out to DC.
