I woke up in like this morning

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

]D: Remember that time I lit your beard on fire at Liv's party and you knocked over a table full of drinks running around like an asshole? K: I was on fire, dick.

I'm dying here.

Is this Le Grande Orange that you are speaking of?

[Guest KC]

Yeah, I haven't had time to post too much about opening day - been tied
up disgusting Bret and stuff - but Mr. Staub sat with us for a spell and posed
for pics and signed pictures. Icing on a great big cake of a day!

[soupcan]

That's awesome.

[Guest cooby]

It was pretty cool!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Yes - incredibly so.

[soupcan]

Regale us with Rusty stories!

[Willets Point]

You sit and talk with Rusty Freakin' Staub and wait two freakin' days to even mention it!!! Start a new "Our Interview With Rusty Staub" thread now!!!!!

[Guest Edgy DC]

I hope you asked him what the deal was with him and Steve Zabriskie's wife.

Why, are they related?

[Guest cooby]

Rusty was very nice. We basically stampeded when we saw him and he posed for each of us who wanted to be photographed with him, Also, he autographed pictures for us.

It was a nice surprise and Scarlet swears she was just as surprised as we were.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Shocked. Totally shocked.

We didn't interview him. We were stunned and dazed to be in his aura.

All except KB, who wanted to know whether Keith and Ron would be coming around next.

I do have pix - I'll post some as soon as I get back from my kid chauffeuring gig. Unless Kase or cooby posts them first.

[Guest cooby]

Aura, that's the perfect word for it.

His Majesty, Rusty. That's what that guy should have said that came to tell you he was here

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Cooby and Le Grand Orange

[Guest Edgy DC]

]Why, are they related?

According to Zabriskie, and I quote, "He's been in love with my wife for 20 years!"

Excellent. Look at Kase wondering where he can find Seaver. Always looking for the upgrade.

[Guest cooby]

I've been in love with Rusty for 30

[Guest Edgy DC]

That photo has to go in the Crane Pool Companion Hall of Fame.

[Guest cooby]

I think there are probably better ones

[Willets Point]

I've been in love with Cooby for 2 years.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Here's more for the Companion HOF

[Guest cooby]

Wow, Rusty stood up for KC

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I think the reason that we didn't talk about this is that it just seemed so surreal. We're there, watching the game, and next thing we know we're in the company of Le Grand Orange. There was no time to prepare to think about it - he was just there.

I called my friend who was there with us yesterday. She wasn't home, so I left a message on her machine that went something like, "I had the weirdest dream. Rusty Staub was at the game with us. Mr. Met too."

It still feels like that.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Rusty still looks like he can step in and play right field, doesn't he?

[Willets Point]

Rusty and Mr. Met really deserve their own thread. May I split these posts off?

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I actually kind of like keeping it here, but I'll defer to the preferences of the others.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Eek. Something happened to Scarlett's hyperlink.

Which hyperlink?

[Benjamin Grimm]

The Jon Matlack link. But now it's okay again.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Good - it's nothing that was my fault

[Guest cooby]

Where's Scarlet and Rusty?
