Houston LSB Rangers Night


This may be a little early on to do this, but I'm riding a post-opening-day-come-from-behind-walk-off-win high, so I thought I'd throw it out there...

I was wondering if there would be any interest in a gathering of Rangers fans before one of the three Rangers games during the weekend of June 18th through the 20th down here in Houston. I know this isn’t an incredibly novel idea, but I will be leaving the state at the end of July and this may be one of my last chances to talk about Rangers baseball in a face-to-face gathering of real human beings. The warm glow of LSB on my computer screen can only fill that primal need for connection up to a certain point, ya know...

 

I don't know how many Houstonians are on this site, but it seems like there are enough to facilitate a gathering. We could meet at one of the bars in the downtown area beforehand, enjoy a few beverages and then head over to the game. Saturday night’s game seems like the optimal choice because there might be fans coming in from out of town who would like to join in the fun.

 

Any interest? If there are enough takers, we might even be able to do a group ticket pull.

I'd like to think he'd bless us with his presence

if LSB had a Houston gathering.

I would do it

I was planning on driving up to the games that weekend. I’ve been to some games there with my degenerate dis-Astros buddies and we hung out at The Bus before the game, a cool little bar outside the stadium. I think its first base side?

I might go

That’s a day before my birthday almost. And I think I only have classes Monday-Thursday. Always wanted to see Minute Maid

this would be really cool if we were in 1st place

and took over the Bus before that game (which may not be all that hard to do if the Astros are bad as they appear they will be).

The guys on 1560 AM today joked that today’s record (0-1) might be the high-water mark of the year for the Astros.

I'm in

I usually go to all 3 games, so any of them we wanna catch will be ok. I’d say we had the BUS at about 50/50 on the Sunday game last year

Where's my wallet?!?!?

Nobody gives a shit where you live. Quit trying to hijack this thread bigot.

Anyway, I’ll be in Houston for the first 2 games of the series.

Count me in.

Hush you

At least you have the 2011 AAA all star game (did you know that?)

"You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.

Then he grounded out weakly to second.

I didn't know that...

Sweet. Bonus for me.

I’m already planning at trip in August when OKC will be here. Hopefully Marteeeeeen will be there by then.

Oh, man... I wanna hang out with Clark so bad, but Houston's a bit far.

I guess I’ll just have to put a sweater vest on my inflatable sex clown and pretend again.

I’m moving to Houston this month and would like to attend
