CPF Spring Training @ Strawberry's (attendance required)

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

OK, the deets got mixed up with the Virgil's thing in the last thread, so this is the thread where you say if and how many you'll be bringing to the CPF Spring Training lunch at Strawberry's. We agreed to Sunday March 13, the Mets-Cardinals spring training game is to be broadcast that day at 1:10 pm.

Strawberry's is located right across the street from the Douglaston LIRR station, easy shot from the city or north via Throg's Neck.

Who's in?

My apologies for dropping the ball on my alleged coordination of this. Thanks for taking the reins. Count us in for four.

Oooh, I'd mentally tuned this out because I thought we'd settled on the next weekend. I'll have to run it by the wife.

[Guest themetfairy]

The next weekend would be better for me, because D-Dad could also make it. But I'm in solo for the 13th.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

MIGHT be doing a YoungerPooper candleblowing that day. (It's 60-40 to be on Saturday at present, but...)

If not, it looks gorge-eous for a face-stuffing.

[Gwreck]

50-50. May have to do a fantasy baseball draft that day.

[Guest sharpie]

I'm a maybe too. I should know more inaboutta week.

[stevejrogers]

I'll be there.

[HahnSolo]

I believe that is NCAA selection Sunday, and I get all geeky about the bubble and the selection. So I'm a likely no.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nooooo!

[Guest Kong76]

I'm reluctant to say I'm in ... last couple of tries I kind of
feel like participation repellent.

What's Straw's spring training capacity with the Mets if any?
Will he be in Florida? Anyone twatty with him?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Darryl is currently golfing against autism and spreading the good news according to his Facebook feed. Strawberry's Sports Grill reminds me that 10pm-11pm is POWER HOUR.

Don't I know it.

[Farmer Ted]

OUT. Highly likely, however, that I will be in PSL that week. Nice.

I'm in. But only if Kase shows up.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Not looking great for me.

Me neither (I'm anti-social anyway). I'm apparently celebrating Daylight Savings with the writer of Daylight Atheism. and/or his birthday. Friend for (longer than) life trumps strange Mets fans from the internet, sorry.

This.

[seawolf17]

Why can't you?

[Valadius]

I'm going to be in Connecticut that day anyway. Wish I could make it.

Last year, TMF, D-Dad, MK, and I met up in Trenton to watch the B-Mets play against the MFYAAs. No reason why we couldn't do that again.

Yeah, I know. Trenton. But it's worth the trip.

[G-Fafif]

Leaning yes.

Pressure on the Big Man.

I was worried the dual-meeting thing would rob some mo, but we'll be there anywhoo. I'm having a baseball card chuck-up there too.

[seawolf17]

You call Darryl to make sure he's in?

I remember those!

Yes - I need to razz him about dropping out of the Empire State Building Run-Up!

Hell would break loose on the fifth grade bus home. But such pre-adolescent madness did help me fill out my 1974 set.

I'll never forget the scrawny kid behind me who made the mistake of yelling, "I got a Pete Rose!" who, in a matter of seconds, had one-eighth of a Pete Rose.

[seawolf17]

I want to buy a box of 1985 Topps commons and teach MiniWolf how to flip. Not old-skool flip, but flip like we did in the mid-80s, with colors.

[Valadius]

What are you guys talking about?
