Official World Series Watching Parties / Tailgating Thread

PrintSo I guess this is going to be a hot-topic in the coming days... we saw a few of these go up during the ALCS. I just thought it would be handy to keep all the talk contained in a single thread.
As we all know, Series tickets have completely sold out, and went for plenty more than the previous series' prices. I figure... there's probably going to be more LSB'ers watching from home this time around than previous times. I myself have already spent 1G on playoff tickets and am not immediately prepared to keep going...
BUT!... if I can't watch the games in person, I'm gonna wanna do the next best thing... and that's getting together with all of you LSB dingdongs that love the team just as much as I do.
The LSB Tailgate was a 'great success', wasn't it?... We grilled some meat, experimented with stuffed jalapeños, threw back some brews, swapped wives... Any thoughts on doing it again next weekend? Saturday afternoon? Sunday afternoon? Hey bitch all you want about the NL winning the All-Star Game and the Giants getting home-field advantage... at least we got our home games on the weekend.
And what about watching parties? Tiny Tim v. Cliff...Bruce Lee? The only thing better than watching that is watching it while I'm doing your wife.
I saw some fanposts calling for a meet-up party at Wizards in Richardson, which sounded cool but also sounded like a pain in the ass to get to. For my part, the only real 'watching party' I attended was at J.Gilligan's in Arlington for Cliffy's Game 3. Good crowd, but maybe Arlington is too far a drive for some of you Denton and North Dallas types
Anybody think we should try to organize some kind of meet-up for Game 1? Like a big one? Where we feast at a giant round-table in front of giant plates of wings?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also while I have a quick second, I just wanted to say thank you to Mr. Paul M. from Wichita Falls - who straight-up gave me a free ticket to the first home playoff game against the Rays. That was an unbelievable experience and it was only compounded with the good pleasure of getting to meet all of you for the first LSB Tailgate. He probably gave up the ticket so he wouldn't have to sit behind this Cowboy-foam-hat wearing peniswrinkle. 'Preciate ya, pal!
I also wanna thank all the concessions people that have been there since the old Arlington Stadium, who come back every summer to earn a buck, who made it through the lean years... just like Chuck and Eric... and who probably don't get the same appreciation or recognition for being there and being of service... Like the beerman who works the lower level behind home plate with his signature 'KOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHLLLbir'
The lady who ushers Section 16/17 with the glasses and short hair and the older, lanky man with glasses and a moustache who ushers 17/18... for turning a blind-eye the last three or four seasons, whenever I snuck down into the lower level to get a closer look at the action. C'mon... that was some bad baseball.
If you know anybody like that at the ballpark, please give them some recognition... it's always good to hear those stories
And lastly to all my LSB brothers and sisters who i have butted heads with in the past. The past is the past. This week... we can all huddle together as one and know that we believed in this day... we knew it would come... and our patience paid off.
'...THERE'S A LOOONG DRIVE TO LEFT CENTER!.... IT IS HIGH... IT IS FAR... IT ISSSGAAHHN.............'

I’m going to both games in Arlington, but would def love to tailgate. I don’t know about on the level with ALDS 3, but maybe a lighter version. I have my babysitters lined up for Sat and Sun for as long as I need them both days. If something gets going, I’d love to contribute in any way, shape or form. Even the wife swapping….

We will be there Wednesday and Thursday
I think it’s the farthest away from home for my husband and I, so if for some reason it takes us forever to get there Wednesday we may go somewhere else on Thursday (we’re coming from downtown Dallas, up 35, yuck). But right now the plan is to be there both days.
We went to this BWW for ALDS game 5, and I don’t think there IS such a thing as a “lone Rangers fan” :) But if you think you’ll be there both days and want to sit with us I will let the person who’s going to get there first know :)

Depending on what happens with Section 339 on Wednesday, I’m planning on possibly getting there Wednesday and Thursday. I’m already going to be up in the area on Wednesday, so that may work best.

Can't say I've ever watched a WS game there
but for a football game of importance they usually have the audio going. Worst case scenario I have MLB At Bat… I’m just going because I want the damn glass for brewery night AND I want a public venue for Rangers baseball.
So Wednesday?
Thurs I’m probably going to a watching party in Arlington — but Wed is a definite possibility.

This goes out to my homie, and beer man, Dan. Section 34 represent. We have a good rapport going. You keep my whistle wet. Even though you got fucked in some ways by Chuck dropping the beer prices when he bought the team, you still come through. You always know to visit us specifically when it’s last call. You always make sure to have a few Budweiser’s in the bottom specifically for us. And for that, you will forever be tipped well.

Not trying to put anyone on the spot, but I think a TV setup like we had last time would be pretty awesome since there will be quite a few people who can’t get tickets.

I'm down in Midlothian.
I’ve been going to BWW in Mansfield for games, but I would love to watch the games with some fellow LSBers.
I don’t mind traveling either, since right now I don’t have to worry about getting out of work and getting to the venue.
So…whether it’s Arlington, Irving, Addison or Grapevine…..I’ll be wherever most people are meeting.

I actually did that in Rapid City for two weeks
It was great that this was during Sturgis, because I had most meals picked up by biker dudes, and I was stuck in a Dodge ClubCab behind a Denny’s…with my huge Lab. The other truck had caught on fire while pulling a massive trailer with all my worldly possessions. When xfering trucks, I had accidentally left my wallet in the glovebox of the other truck…so much suxxors for about two weeks until the Moneygram came in.

It has 2 42" HDs, don’t know if a projector would be a good thing. I can rent a cabana (kitchen) for about $75, which gets the gazebo as a private event.
Seriously though, if this is a consideration (awesome), I need to know by tomorrow 8pm or so, as petite sirloin steaks are one sale cheap locally and I could pick up 20# or so if needed. Or t-bones.

Parked in Lot A for last Friday’s game and there’s a nice area by the river/drainage ditch that runs between the two stadiums, just inside the entrance from Randoll Mill. It’s a Season Coupon lot, but there’s a cash lot right behind it. Gonna show up around 12-1pm. Going to try and get a small grill to cook some brats and dogs. Nothing fancy like Ryin A threw together but I gotta pick up kids after the game so can’t go overboard like ALDS 3.

Word, just look for me at my normal seat by the entrance
looking like Jesus w/ my playoff beard and Cliff Lee! shirt. Not really sure which makes me look more like a deity, my playoff beard or my Cliff Lee! shirt. I am having about 10 at our table I believe.

Never been there, but this is right next to where I’m working today, so that’s perfect. It’s literally right down the road.

My group is no longer going to be at BWW
Instead, we’re going to be at Sherlock’s on Park and 75 in Dallas. We’ll be there around 5:30 on Wednesday and Thursday.

Yep.
Something happened where someone else decided they wanted to go to Sherlock’s, or everyone else couldn’t get out to Irving early enough, or something. We were fine with wherever, but I gotta admit Sherlock’s is going to be a lot easier for us.

-------------------------------TAILGATE SATURDAY/SUNDAY---------------------------
I can still bring the goods – tables, couple of chairs, trash cans…
I’ll even throw down $50 bucks to get the ball rolling with parking fees, etc.
I don’t know how the TV situation worked out last time, with generators/time delay etc.,
Anybody else want to get the ball rolling
If you get enough responses, I can bring a canopy, some more chairs, and also toss $50 on it. My grill is a bitch grill though.
I’m no organizer though, so someone else would need to take that part…
"I don't do a straight up Mitch for Butler" -- booyakasha
I'm definitely down
Just got a birthday present from my mama a couple months early. She hooked me up with a plane ticket and a ticket to the game on Saturday. Gotta holler at my LSB peoples.
You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In *St. Louis* his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well, *Steven Jackson* was the best.

This is a long shot
But a few Texas ex-pats in New York City are getting together at Lincoln Park (56th and 9th). If anyone wants to join let us know. During the ALCS, the regulars were about as decent as Yankees fans can be, especially when they found out we weren’t Red Sox fan just cheering for the Yankees to lose.

Was about 10
For the Friday night game. Might be less because of the weeknight, but you’re welcome to come.
"Only the strong survive, but the strong still get their ass whipped." -Nick Saban
How was the turnout?
And are folks meeting up there tonight? I know it’s rather late notice, but I work nearby, so I might check it out.
Not tonight, but Saturday for sure.
It was 11, so it’s growing slowly.

But maybe sometime next week
Wanna bring me back some Shiner? :)

What time are people planning on getting out there on Saturday?
Ryin A, I need your marinate for chicken wings por favor.
there were a few different flavors out there...
I had 4 different ones (Herb/Garlic, Lemon Pepper, Jerk, can’t remember) – I was lazy and bought Lowry’s marinade, put about 4 pounds of wings per ziplock and emptied a whole bottle into it, shook it up, let it sit overnight.
I think jam0152 had a different kind, he probably made his…would have to ask him…
Doc Mabee was the other one grilling wangs….I think he did a traditional buffalo sauce..not certain, would have to ask.
Y’all hos have fun.

I just marinated them in a cheap Italian dressing
grill, then tossed them in some store-bought Frank’s or BBQ sauce. Nothing fancy.

Italian dressing is a great marinade for chik.

Advice to Dentonites
Avoid Lou’s tonight. I got there at 6:20 last night and was barely able to find a mediocre seat. It’s a crazy, crazy scene. Go to one of the less popular bars.

Dang, dude, i missed you.
Got there in the 6th inning. You’re right, it was crazier than I’ve seen.

I'll be in Lot A around 1-2pm near the river.
Its a season coupon lot, but plenty of cash lots nearby. Stop by, grab a hotlink or stuffed jalapeno. Bring a chair and have a beer. No canopy or anything fancy, but should be nice weather.
Boo
I have a professional certification test at 3pm in downtown Dallas. Have fun out there Bud, and drink a home brew IPA for me :)

pass the test?
When you're drowning, you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,' you just scream.
I'll see ya there. I'll stop in Denton and grab some stuff from Metzler's on the way down.
Can you shoot me your number in case I can’t find your spot? My email is on my profile.

Yeah...it's pretty lame...
I’m failry certain one of the NoCa fellas came up with that…it’s on the banner….I know it’s not their property but it’s kinda lame that the club made it.
It reeks of some advertising/marketing exec having to come up with an idea or he’d lose his job…he jumps on here and claims it as his own..heh.

Tailgating Saturday
I have seen a few posts about people being out there tomorrow to tailgate. I assume it won’t be like last time, but would like to get together if anyone is going to be around. Same lot D? I plan to be out there around 1:30 or 2. Let me know.

By the time that I get there,
I will want to head inside to get some World Series gear and to try to catch some World Series batting practice. Enjoy the game, and I hope the drive does not suck!

I'm on a plane from BWI in about 9.5 hours.
Don’t know what all will be going on beforehand, but I’ll be at the games tomorrow and Monday. Someone wants to give me a shout, I’m at jpgaroon at gmail dot com, as always.
I got one extra ticket tonight my buddy is selling.
Bleachers, section 50, row 9. It’s my buddies ticket and he is selling it for $250. Pretty cheap for the location. If you’re interested, email me ASAP. kchorton2 @ gmail . com
Damn, where were you last night when I needed you?
That’s not a bad deal at all.
I was looking for an excuse to stay in Arlington for tonight’s game. Just couldn’t afford to pay a metric shit ton for SRO again.
