So the Callbox is a cop bar? (Well, I guess the name hints.)

Rain threatens tomorrow, if there's the 4pm Fenway game then a NYY-LAA delay maybe we should arrive earlyish. Friday good, Jams?

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 6 October 2005 16:03 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm off tomorrow eve and this weekend. Callbox? Ist go?

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 6 October 2005 16:18 (eighteen years ago) link

let's do it! friday night. it's at kingsland ave and meeker. (http://pages.prodigy.net/pizzabagel/MisspelledSigns_001.htm#HARDY)

take the l to graham and walk north on graham (down the hill) until you hit meeker (aka the road beneath the bqe). take a right and walk about five blocks until you see a mcdonalds. the callbox is right next to it. it's a bet of a trek but it's CHEAP BEER and FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE and TONS OF TVS.

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Thursday, 6 October 2005 16:34 (eighteen years ago) link

OR you can take the g to nassau. get out of the train and walk on manhattan ave toward mccarren park. make a left when you hit meeker. then follow the above directions.

Before the end of the Sox-Sox game, or at 8 to give you crap all night for rooting for the Yankees?

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 6 October 2005 16:46 (eighteen years ago) link

i will be there about 6, i'm guessing. and i am not so much rooting for the yankees as remaining impartial. i did want to strangle scoscia last nite tho.

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Thursday, 6 October 2005 16:47 (eighteen years ago) link

HI WHO IS IN TONIGHT?

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Friday, 7 October 2005 13:40 (eighteen years ago) link

Me. If there are rain delays we can do "Mind Game" readings!

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 7 October 2005 13:43 (eighteen years ago) link

me! i'll get there around 7.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 7 October 2005 14:05 (eighteen years ago) link

holla!

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Friday, 7 October 2005 14:07 (eighteen years ago) link

I WILL HARRASS YOU BOTH VIA TEXT MSGS so it'll be like I'm there!

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Friday, 7 October 2005 14:12 (eighteen years ago) link

dude morbs you're gonna miss my friends watersports open for 6ooa!

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 7 October 2005 14:14 (eighteen years ago) link

...unless there's a rainout. I assume yer on yr way upstate and have no use for my +1 then? (ppl in love are dicey with the emails, I notice)

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 7 October 2005 14:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Holy shit! How did I not see this thread?

I am actually going to be in New York tonight with a few hours to kill. I will show up (and hopefully not get lost/drenched along the way) around 6-7 or so.

― d4niel coh3n (dayan), Friday, 7 October 2005 14:21 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah, sorry about that. been really flakey lately, i apologize. but yeah, you should see watersports! they're great!

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 7 October 2005 14:22 (eighteen years ago) link

They're NOIZE then?

What, The Rapozer can't take the train down for a couple rainouts?

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 7 October 2005 14:24 (eighteen years ago) link

no, they're not noize.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 7 October 2005 14:34 (eighteen years ago) link

The Rapozer has a school-related obligation, in addition to shite loads of homework. I already blew off A GURL so I could get this stuff done. Clearly I am messed up in the head.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 7 October 2005 14:35 (eighteen years ago) link

OK, if somehow the Sawx survive, get down here for the LCS or Series so we can watch you die a thousand figurative deaths.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 7 October 2005 14:38 (eighteen years ago) link

ha - somehow? IT IS PREORDAINED & SHIT.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 7 October 2005 14:40 (eighteen years ago) link

preordained my ass, you guys are losing today.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 7 October 2005 14:54 (eighteen years ago) link

I have realized that if the Series involves any combo of NYY ATL LAA STL HOU, I likely won't give a shit.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 7 October 2005 15:10 (eighteen years ago) link

so if the padres get eliminated you don't care about the ws? seems kind of a longshot...

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 7 October 2005 15:13 (eighteen years ago) link

No, I would be interested in rooting for either Sox vs any of the NL teams above. I guess I could root for the Cards vs the Yanks but will not listen to any more Eckstein Family interviews.

Braves-Yanks I boycotted in '99.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 7 October 2005 15:33 (eighteen years ago) link

No chance for me yall -- I'll be in the office. Maybe a CS or WS edition?

― scrimhaw1837 (son_of_scrimshaw), Friday, 7 October 2005 16:05 (eighteen years ago) link

sure thing, parish. where is teh maura?

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Friday, 7 October 2005 16:15 (eighteen years ago) link

weather.com rain%:

BOS-CHA today: 20
NY-LAA tonight: 80

BOS-CHA tomorrow: 90
NY-LAA tomorrow: 90

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 7 October 2005 16:58 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't get this Friday-night homework thing.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 7 October 2005 17:12 (eighteen years ago) link

Neither do I. That's why it SUCKS.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 7 October 2005 18:25 (eighteen years ago) link

i will be a little late

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Friday, 7 October 2005 20:04 (eighteen years ago) link

isn't this getting rained out?

― John (jdahlem), Friday, 7 October 2005 20:08 (eighteen years ago) link

i think they still serve pitchers when it rains!

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Friday, 7 October 2005 20:12 (eighteen years ago) link

Daniel suffered nobly in yr place, Rapozer. Alas I was drunker than I thought and couldn't even get to 6OrgsofAdmittance on time.

If the Yanks are rained out today I plan to be at Coliseum Books for Prospectus folks.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 8 October 2005 15:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Mine was a lonely struggle, but I had a fun time, and learned a valuable lesson about cold medicine and its interactions with alcohol.

I might be back in town in two weeks for a film shoot, and I'd be all for getting together again - is WS game 1 scheduled for 10/22?

― d4niel coh3n (dayan), Saturday, 8 October 2005 16:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Cold medicine! tsk tsk. Sat 10/22, yeah.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 9 October 2005 16:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Anyone want to meet up for ANA/NYY tonight?

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Sunday, 9 October 2005 18:53 (eighteen years ago) link

Well, the Waco Bros have cancelled at Southpaw tonight. Anyone willing for The Wrath of Eddings tonight at Callbox? (I'd likely arrive around the fourth.)

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 14 October 2005 13:14 (eighteen years ago) link

i don't think i can make it. i am still exhausted from my flu -- which i have mostly gotten over, but am still so drained.

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Friday, 14 October 2005 13:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Well, the Waco Bros have cancelled at Southpaw tonight.

they did? that's strange. i guess i'll get the scoop monday.

games 5-7 (assuming there are any) of CHW-LAA, i'm there.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 14 October 2005 13:54 (eighteen years ago) link

OK, perhaps early next week then.

There was some family medical emergency w/ the Wacos, scrapped their East Coast dates.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 14 October 2005 14:00 (eighteen years ago) link

ah that kinda sucks. i wasn't gonna go, but my other job is for the guy that manages langford.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 14 October 2005 14:16 (eighteen years ago) link

Jon's always worth seeing just for the stage patter.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 14 October 2005 14:21 (eighteen years ago) link

So can we do this for Game One? d4niel coh3n, Jams? will hstencil be in Reinsdorf's box?

I need to drink a couple actual beers beforethe pitchers of Bud, however. 4 hours of that will kill ya.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 20 October 2005 15:59 (eighteen years ago) link

I am thinking about it. Filming this weekend got cancelled; I might stay up here and see Oneida and Big Bear on Saturday instead. I'm probably going to be in New York next weekend for the Mountain Goats show either way; if it goes to game 6 or 7 I could be game.

― d4niel coh3n (dayan), Thursday, 20 October 2005 18:56 (eighteen years ago) link

i have a birthday party in the west village i need to be at at 10. could we meet somewhere in manhattan early for drinx beforehand? that might be the jam.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 20 October 2005 23:26 (eighteen years ago) link

That might be a bit roundabout for me, as I will be on the UWS during the day and need to be settled somewhere at 8:03 (first pitch).

I could do Sunday or Tuesday too, of course. Jams?

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 21 October 2005 12:43 (eighteen years ago) link

well i'm definitely watching the game. not sure where. somewhere in the city would be okay with me. who all would be in? tracer, maura?

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Friday, 21 October 2005 12:48 (eighteen years ago) link

i can do it! i'm working until seven and have to be back at the office at nine on sunday, but i'd love to go.

― maura (maura), Friday, 21 October 2005 14:18 (eighteen years ago) link

if you're on the uws, morbs, then just go south! no problem!

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 21 October 2005 15:06 (eighteen years ago) link

I meant the UES, actually.

Isn't there some big sports bar on lower Ave B or C? I was there on a weeknight, and it didn't seem too bad. Other alternatives?

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 21 October 2005 15:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes, travel day washed out, hence Willie uses Mota not Heilman last night, as he's not expecting anymore 7-inn starts (and Glavine pitches next on 3 days' rest).

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 13 October 2006 15:46 (seventeen years ago) link

sunday is good for me, monday maybe not

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 13 October 2006 15:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I could likely do Sunday eve NL game.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 13 October 2006 16:16 (seventeen years ago) link

oh well

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Monday, 16 October 2006 22:53 (seventeen years ago) link

sorry dude, ilx was down and like nobody knows you. or at least your contact info. but maybe we'll do something wednesday? i have to miss tomorrow's game, damn rain.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 16 October 2006 23:23 (seventeen years ago) link

I think these next couple games may be too stressful for me to be seen in public.

can Rapozer come in for a weekend Series game? mattbot, where you?

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 17 October 2006 15:40 (seventeen years ago) link

can't go tonight.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 17 October 2006 15:46 (seventeen years ago) link

oh, no worries. stupid poxy fule-ing

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Tuesday, 17 October 2006 17:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Pozer is moving (still)! Sorry, Morbro.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 17 October 2006 18:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Tomorrow's probably the only day that would work for me. I'm out of town this weekend.

― mattbot (mattbot), Tuesday, 17 October 2006 20:33 (seventeen years ago) link

i think i'll be at a bar without a tv tomorrow for a going-away party thing. ;_;

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 17 October 2006 20:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Do people not know there IS A PLAYOFF goin on?

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 12:20 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm not crazy about doin it in W'burg on a weeknight when the G ain't running to my house. Where is convenient for you, mattbot? We could try a Series game during next Tue-Thur, maybe downtown.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 13:22 (seventeen years ago) link

people know it, some people just happen to be yanquis fans. ;_;

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 13:50 (seventeen years ago) link

so they didn't follow Lasorda TO DA TV?

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 14:09 (seventeen years ago) link

well who knows, the game is tonight.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 14:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Williamsburg is closest for after work (I'd take the G back too, God willing), but The Gate is actually not far from home either. I'm flexible. Next week is looking good so far.

― mattbot (mattbot), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 18:31 (seventeen years ago) link

ah, you and I are good for the Gate, but I wonder who else.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 19:04 (seventeen years ago) link

so are we all watching privately tonight, then trying Game 1 or 2 WS, esp if the outcome is Amazin'?

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 19 October 2006 16:15 (seventeen years ago) link

i hope bowery ballroom has a tv.

i can definitely do game 2 ws, perhaps at alligator again?

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 19 October 2006 16:26 (seventeen years ago) link

SOUNDS GOOD

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 19 October 2006 16:29 (seventeen years ago) link

there's no late nfl game this week, either.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 19 October 2006 16:31 (seventeen years ago) link

This appears to be the place for WS Sunday then:

http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/40851428/brooklyn_ny/alligator_lounge.html

hstencil will be the Bruce Sutter lookalike. I'll be rooting for the Tigers unless Kenny Ballfour is pitching.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 20 October 2006 12:04 (seventeen years ago) link

...It IS Kenny on Sunday. I am so not gonna give a shit about that game.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 20 October 2006 17:47 (seventeen years ago) link

how long are you going to "be like this"?

GENTLEMEN: WHERE CAN I BUY AN OFFICIAL LEAGUE BALL IN NEW YORK CITY? THAT PLACE UNDER MSG IS SOLD OUT AND WHAT AM I SUPPOUSED TO HAVE TOMMY LASORDA SIGN IF NOT AN OFFICIAL LEAGUE BALL?

― If you fuck with Jimmy Mod, you call down the thunder (The Famous Jimmy Mod), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 22:18 (seventeen years ago) link

have him sign a copy of XY.

If there's a Game 6 (Undressing Kenny), it will be on Saturday. longest night of the year (clocks back one hour). Just sayin'.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 18:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm going to be in New York this weekend, and I'd be all for Saturday. I've got a funny feeling they'll still be playing in St. Louis at that point, regardless of outcome.

(Can we cajole R4posa into coming?)

― govern yourself accordingly (dayan), Thursday, 26 October 2006 14:16 (seventeen years ago) link

cool, DC! I'm fine with that (it may still be Game 4).

if Alligator Lounge is OK, fine. I read Jay Jaffe of Prospectus sayin he watched last weekend at, ha, 7B.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 26 October 2006 14:34 (seventeen years ago) link

well IF there's a game on Saturday, who's in? default location?

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 27 October 2006 15:38 (seventeen years ago) link

that bar is kinda terrible young-Brooklyn-hets meetup; usta be the lesbian Cattyshack.

but yes, I am available for the WS.
