June 5, 200619 yr So I know there's some Sox fans around here (in Dallas/Fort Worth area)... how many of you are planning on going next week to catch a game? At this point, I have class on Tuesday and Wednesday night, so those two nights are out. The best chance I have at a game would be Monday night, but I haven't gotten tickets yet. So who all is going? Kap
June 5, 200619 yr Right here buddy...sucks you cant make it Tuesday or Wednesday night, those are the only 2 games I'll be attending due to summer league baseball games..but lucky you Monday-Contreras will throw+ESPN game, and Thursday-Buehrle will throw..its unfortunate you wont be in attendance either night I'll be at Ameriquest, it's always fun meeting other posters
June 6, 200619 yr Author If the forecast holds, I may not go at all. It's supposed to be 100+ every day starting this Thursday. I knew this summer was going to suck when it was 100+ in April, and May we had NO rain, which is supposed to be our "rainiest month"... Texas is so screwed this year with the drought situation. Anyway... we'll see how things go, but I don't feel like sitting there for a game when it's that hot.

For cryin' out loud, guys, why can't you schedule a Rangers-Sox series for a DAMN WEEKEND?!?! I'm too old to do the one day turnaround to Dallas and back. Grrrrr... Cheer for the Austin White Sox contingent if you go! Perhaps a sign?
June 8, 200619 yr QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 04:06 PM) Well, to get tickets, or not to get tickets. Anyone else going? YAS? Can't make it in this time. In fact, I'll be in town right after they leave.
June 8, 200619 yr Author QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 09:33 AM) Can't make it in this time. In fact, I'll be in town right after they leave. If you still wanted to grab a brew one of these times you're down here... that would be cool. Having said that, next weekend, we won't be in Dallas anyway. Road trip to Odessa. :puke (note, not :puke to the inlaws, :puke on the drive out there. I always thought US 30 in Indiana was bad, it don't have anything on this drive).
June 8, 200619 yr I will be there Wednesday evening. I may try to convince my wife to go Monday as well. But tonight, I am going to the NBA Finals! Yipee! I never got to go to a Bulls Finals, so this will have to do!

Actually if I pressed hard enough, I could probably get some from here at work. But, I'm really not that interested.
June 9, 200619 yr My father in law has season tix to Stars Rangers Mavericks Thankfully, he does not have Cowboys tix. IT is bad enough that I am being forced to spend Thanksgiving there this year. Oh, the humanity! Go Bears!
June 10, 200619 yr Author I had Stars season tickets. This year, I won't, although the ASG is going to be here. Anyway, enjoy the Sox when they come to town. It's looking like I can't go.
June 13, 200619 yr I'll be there tonight giving it to these redneck Rangers fans and hoping for a sox winner....any other lonestar state residents attending tonights game??
June 13, 200619 yr QUOTE(3E8 @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 01:24 PM) Might be there on Thursday. Did you end up moving to Texas instead of San Diego?
June 13, 200619 yr QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 05:35 PM) Did you end up moving to Texas instead of San Diego? Yep. I got a much better job offer in March.
June 13, 200619 yr QUOTE(3E8 @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 02:37 PM) Yep. I got a much better job offer in March. Nice...you liking Austin? I have a few buddies that go to school right by there and they say its an awesome place. How far is it from Dallas?

How far is it from Dallas? I've only been here about a week but I'm enjoying it so far. The city doesn't feel too urban because just minutes from downtown/nightlife area there are lakes and parks with lots of things to do and see. I drove through Dallas on my way down here and it took me about three hours.
