DIS Dads DDC XXX: Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike, What Day Is It Mike?

[afwdwfan]

I loved watching those teams with Eric Davis, Chris Sabotage, Dibble and Larkin.

Great pitching staff on that team. The Nasty Boys. I remember my Grandpa would take me to games and I'd constantly ask when Dibble was coming in. (I was 8 when they won the series. I didn't exactly understand the "closer" role back in those days).

My cousin. Who is a Cubs fan... and still waiting, by the way, always made fun of Chris Sabo by calling it the "Dis-Saboed List." At least he has a ring. And some bad-ace goggles.

What? Funny story. The seats next to us were sold to a coupel guys from Minnesota. They paid $2,700 each for the two seats. I was talking to them for a while. One of them owns National Tool and is worth about $1.5B. They bought the tickets in the morning, booked flights and got there by afternoon to go to the game. He was a BC graduate and a Boston fan.

Would be nice to have that kind of $$.

I just had to give you a hard time. I wish I had that kind of money too. I here stories of people staying at AKL for weeks at a time. I'd love to know what some of those people do.

Continuing with my awesome sports viewing year this year. It looks like I have tickets on the way to the Celtics tomorrow night for the home opener (hopefully it will be another loss and bring us 1 game closer to that #1 pick in the lottery). Then on Saturday, I have tickets for DS, DD and I to head into the Garden for a shoot around on the parkay! The kids will get to be out on the floor with a few players shooting. How cool is that. My kids may be the most spoiled from the standpoint of teams winning titles, getting to go to games and meeting professional athletes on the planet. It's good to have friends in high places, even if I may never get there.




We turn down the volume on the TV and listen to the local radio station 93.7FM call the game. It's much better. Usually do the same for the Patriots as well.

Enjoy the game.

I have done that before but the radio and TV are off just enough to make that hard to do.

And how does Freeman completely screw up the Tampa thing and be starting again so quickly. Really Minnesota? Sounds more like a front office and coach problem than a QB problem to me.

I think Freeman's problem in Tampa was major friction with a head coach who won't be in the NFL again after January. The carousel here is a product of conflict between a head coach on the hot seat trying to save his job and a GM who is trying to to figure out what he has for next year.

T minus 7 hours to take off. Looking forward to meeting a few DISDads while we are there. Whole family is going, kids, grandkids, kid in law, the works. I don't think it's going to happen, but close the thread at your own peril. And if you do close it, last one to post, please turn off the light and lock the door, until I get a new clubhouse built.

Have a great time Randall....don't do anything I wouldn't do....

The question was....ball or strike?

Strike. Fowl ball.

I would say watch out for Tim, but I guess I'll just say payback's a beeotch.

Have a great trip Randall!

Was directly behind the plate and on TV all night. Got over 20 texts from friends that didn't know I was going. It was pretty funny to have the phone buzzing constantly. I have a couple pics someone sent me via email. i'll try to post them. Not sure how.

It was awesome to be at a world championship.

I think I saw you. I pulled up a picture from one of the DisDad threads and asked DW, "Does that guy look like this guy in the picture?"

Safe travels Randall! Have a great time and feel free to take over the morning picture duties.

There's something you wouldn't do?

Strike. Fowl ball.

You win the caption contest for the day!

That was me. Or at least someone who looks a lot like me.

We can all live in campers near WDW and panhandle for tickets. Sounds like my retirement plan.

Sounds like a solid plan to me.....

Do you get sad everytime you eat fried chicken?

I hope not for my sake!

Safe travels Randall! Have a great time and feel free to take over the morning picture duties.

Great idea, I would love to see a morning pic from any dad that happens to be in the world. I used the photobucket app and it takes 2 minutes to post a pic.

Thanks for taking the time today Tim!!

One of the toughest players on that team

See you in a few days!!!

I think Joe Buck said something like "I love you" awkward pause and "I love you like a brother."

It was horrible.

See you in a few days. I've been practicing jumping into a moving car with my suitcase all week.

Sounds like a solid plan to me.....

It's not just farm fresh, cage free. It is Randy Johnson pitching fresh.

Looking forward to getting out of here and getting some Halloween candy.

DS is going to be Jake for the second year in a row. (By his own request ) We got home last night and he told me he wasn't going to have his sword for Halloween because he couldn't find it. I knew I had just seen him playing with it a few days ago, so being the good dad that I am, we turned the house upside down until we found it! I made a deal with him that he had to share his candy since I helped him find his sword. Everything was great and I was the hero and the best dad in the world...

Untill DW got home... Apparently he was hitting his sister with the sword a few days ago and the sword was more "hidden" than "lost."





Oh well, the kid thinks dad is awesome and I get candy!




Happy Halloween!
