mreye Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 We're "tailgating" that day at my buddy's house. Starting at about 3:00 , cooking out, watching the DVDs in his garage bar. Warmer than actually being there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Controlled Chaos Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 QUOTE(spataro51 @ Mar 28, 2006 -> 01:44 PM) can't wait to get their nice and early, for both days. does anyone know what time both ceremonies start? That's the question I need an answer to as well. We're gonna start our pre game bash at like 2:00, but what time do we head to the park for the ceremony or will it just be game time.

SoxAce Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I was looking at the calendar for this day for weeks and I thank the lord I have every Sunday off of work. Me and my employees (who are sox fans) will see this ceremony (with a game which adds a bonus.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevHead0881 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Man, do I hope Berman ain't calling this game. I just picked up the DVD set today and watched some of Game 3 against Boston. Forgot how obnoxious and terrible he was/is. Keeping my fingers crossed that its Miller and Morgan. They aren't my favorites, but they beat the hell out of listening to Berman.

Ummm...Boston lost f***o. No reason to congratulate them on getting their asses swept. Ugh. I can't believe I'm letting this get to me again.

You know, I wouldn't have made much of it if it weren't for the countless number of pro-Red Sox comments that preceded it. Between the Red Sox love and all the football analogies, I was about to hang myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, my friends all love him b/c they think he is awesome and don't understand why i don't like him. I guess that they won't ever understand eventhough i have explained it to them numerous times.

Usually for the big games they'll open 'em 2 hours early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
