    ok no one would read this is i posted in the brewer thread. so through a series of events i've become twitter friends with Front Row Amy (if you don't know who she is just type in front row amy and deadspin into google), and she owns a single seat in the front row behind homeplate. she just tweeted that she plans on selling tix for a dozen dates she can't make and one of those dates happens to be the very day that I plan on making my yearly trek to MKE. The ticket is relatively cheap at $125. Now here's the rub.

    I'm going out for a back to back academic conference weekend with 3 other friends. The first is at U of I - Urbana/Champaign and we would leave for MKE at its conclusion in order to watch the Sunday game. Immediately following the game we have a flight to Seattle and a week at UW. One of my friend's is a Dodger fan but gets caught up in Crew-power just b/c he knows it would make me happy that they win, and the other like baseball but not the Brewers. Is it a horrible idea for me to purchase this ticket and leave them to the wonders of Miller Park all by their lonesome?


    there's a brewers thread?

    okay to answer your question, i'd say yeah, it's a bad idea. why would you want to sit by yourself even if it's in an awesome seat? part of the fun of going to a game with your buddies is to, you know, throw back some beers and hang out.

    i'd just hop on stub hub and find 3 great seats together. if you're willing to pay $125 for that one seat, i'm 100% sure you can find 3 seats together near that area for the same amount or less....especially in milwaukee. bark twice. is this wilt chamberlain?

    Yea the single seat thing is just plain awkward.

    so many conflicting opinions on this...i see the good points in both. as for FRA she's good looking I suppose, but the really awesome thing is her seat is literally right behind home plate she gets to talk to players, see and hear shit from the dugout, all the stuff that would be awesome to see one time in my life at the MLB level. if Yovani were pitching I'd say eff my friends I just want to watch that, but there's no guarantee.

    Cliff Lee will pitch today for the Phillies. I still like him but I need to shake the image of the Cardinals 7 & 8 hole hitters getting back to back hits in back to back innings. :x

    Please come back Chase.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    It was a combination of bad luck on balls in play, mediocre defense, and a strike zone that was altered after Tony LaRussa bitched on national TV (and the endless whining by Pujols :roll: ). He actually pitched very well that day. I know my view is not very common, but all the sabrmetric people ought to appreciate it.

    Lee couldn't get anything called a strike after that. :twisted:

    That's when we need OUR manager to do some bitching, instead of just sit there and chew gum with a dumb look on his face.

    Agree with all of this. But oh well - sunrise, sunset.
