Fuck ya'll*.  I post the original reason to go to Kansas in the first place, and now nobody wants to swing by Kentucky to pick me up?

Midwestern elitists. 


*Now, the redneck starts to come out.

I prefer the more complete "Fuck all y'all" - I use that one all the time.

Brett Butler?

I know I shouldn't scoreboard watch at this early juncture - it'll drive me crazy and drunk and destroy all my relationships...but yay Pissburgh!  Luis Rivas - I love you, I want to have your lovechild!

Fan-fucking-tastic.  Next Thursday we are having Thirsty Thursday...  $1 beers for two hours before the game...  The beer garden hangs right over center field.  I'm going to shit my pants. 

Oh right!  He's going to Louisville.  Lucky powen!

Every July 4 I go to Las Vegas with a group of friends, and spend 4 days there, which is too long. Because of that, we schedule a day trip to a ballgame. It started innocently enough, with us renting a car and driving down to Phoenix to watch Mark Mulder come five outs from throwing a perfecto vs. Bob Brenly's and Mark Grace's D-backs. It continued with two more trips to Arizona, once in 2002 to watch the Dodgers knock off the D-backs, and then again in 2004 as the D-backs celebrated Brenly's axing by losing to Minnesota (and I celebrated by watching the fifth game of my $50 5-team parlay come in on the out of town scoreboard). Then we mixed in a trip to LA (to watch the D-backs and Dodgers yet again), and then PETCO in 2006 to see Chris R. Young's fist and Matt Morris' beard duel.

This year, we're going to San Francisco to catch the Cubs and the Giants play in a 4:05 game at Pac Bell SBC AT&T Park. Here's the catch: Game starts at 4:05 PT (weird), and we have a 9:00 flight out of SFO to McCarran. Berkeley, Stew, how much should I allow for traffic/BART/packed mule to get back to the airport?

I'm a big fan of public transportation...as long as I don't have to take it everyday!  (Which I did for over 5 years.)  BART is usually very reliable except for delays after earthquakes and "police actions" and people getting smashed on the tracks - but seriously, most of the time it's very punctual.  However, it's not a very direct route to SFO, so it can take longer to get there than driving.  I'm not sure how crowded it would be after the game, but based on my experience after a Cubs game last year, I'm guessing attendance will be much higher than usual; as you might imagine, the Cubs will be a big attraction.

If you took BART, you'd probably BART from the Powell or Montgomery station in the City - that's about a 35 minute trip on the train all by itself.  And once at the SFO BART station, you have to board the "Airtrain" which takes you from the station to the actual terminals - that process is only about 5 or 10 minutes and it's actually pretty convenient, but it does add a little more time .  Additionally, getting to the BART station from the ballpark is about a 15 minute walk or a short bus or cab ride.  Add it all up, it's gonna take an hour to get from the ballpark to SFO that way.
http://www.bart.gov/guide/airport/outbound_sfo.asp

Driving or taking a shuttle or a cab will probably be much quicker at that time of day - though much more expensive.  The traffic around the immediate ballpark area will probably be unpleasant especially if it's just after the end of the game.  But it's entirely possible to get to SFO from that area in 15 - 20 minutes by car, but don't expect that to happen - I'd give it a half hour just to be safe.

See what Stew says, though.  He's definitely the man.

And thanks for bringing this up.  I haven't gotten tickets yet - I need to do that!

Indeed it is.

Except when it isn't.

You don't want to go to Kansas City, KS or Kansas City, MO.

But that's just me'ed.

No, it isn't.

What about Arkansas City, Kansas?  Uh huh - yeah, wrap your head around that one.

Sorry dude...doing the cha-cha in front of 11,000 people was the coolest thing I've ever done.

Really?  I always envisioned your life being much more interesting than that.

Hey, we can't all live in the big city like you, Eli.

They don't actually have cities in Kansas yet. (It's Kansas, right?)

Fun fact: Kansas City is in Missouri.

Indeed it is.

Except when it isn't.

Heh, Bonner Springs. YEAH it does.

I saw a great concert in Bonner Springs once - about 18 years ago.  Everyone was really fucked up, including me.  I don't remember much about it, but I heard it was a great show.

Hey, is that an Ivan DeJesus button on her purse?

Got me.  To be honest, that picture was in my wallet when I bought it.

It's a good thing too.  The questionable taste you display by your lack of jorts is only surpassed by your braided leather belt.

Checking out another man's braided leather belt, eh?  You might have something in common with my girlfriend... she likes the Spice Girls, too.

Enough about your girlfriend.  What about your partner?

Bump.

It's Opening Day again, Ogdens.

Man, that was a long old winter, but baseball's here again and I for one am absolutely bloody delighted.

Go Cubs.

It's raining.

I'm playing hooky today to watch on WGN.  They better get this fucking game in.  Otherwise, I'm forced to watch the Dodgers and Giants - in which case I shoot myself when I realize one team has to win.

I'm flying to Memphis tonight after work if anyone wants to join me for some bbq there this weekend.

Genious has been used before.

Genious is the opposite of Moran.

Really? I thought it was the same thing. I guess I know why WTB writes half his post in abreviations. Not that it makes them any easier to read. But that's his trademark though.

Oh, how humiliating.

All I know is, I now read your posts with a Vol fan accent in my head.

Being a Tennessee native and still frequent visitor, I'd love to hear it.  And I attended a different university in the Volunteer State, so I hate the Vols as well.  Maybe you can send me an audio file?
