The Jim Price drinking game (rough draft)

[dreg2003]

I don't have cable so Ive been listening to 97.1 all season so I need something to pass the time a little better.

I know a lot of you have referenced the idea before but I dont think anyone has put one together yet.

Its not as good as the Rod Allen version but I think it can be. I am open to any and all suggestions and I would definitely like to add a few more.

edit: I am updating this post as more suggestions come in.

5 drinks when Jim says anything about funnel cakes.

7 drinks if they ever bring back the Pepsi promotion and Jim says, "Make mine diet!"

[DTroppens]

5 points for everytime Jim Says "wasn't he a catcher" when talking about a manager.

Consume an entire bottle of booze for this rarest of gems:

Jim actually gives you the score, or any other pertinent information about the game.

Fantastic

you mean the game time temp in '68? Dont think I have heard that before.

[dreg2003]

Might have to lower the amounts of drinks down a bit, just in the last half inning I counted about 15-20 drinks

That's a lot of Faygo!

[Ingefanclub]

When Jim gets excited about an opponents homerun please consume 5 drinks.

[dadair6]

You have to throw in "Good/bad swing(s)."

I thought that was going to be this year's catch phrase after the first few weeks of the season.

[mtutiger]

What about "texas leaguer" or "qualify the speed of the runner"? Those have to be worth about 5 drinks a piece!

as for "texas leaguer" almost all announcers say that at one point or another

And the the rock reference would be good to, that is if he still played for the tigers or for anyone else for that matter.

Yeah, that's what I mean. It happens a few times every year where the temperature is 68. And if it is 69, I've heard him hint at how it should be a degree lower and stuff like that.

[DTroppens]

One more important thing.

When he mentions that the fantasy camp has a lot of pretenders instead of saying prospects.

[The G Man]

Maybe I missed it but shouldn't "the art of pitching" be on there somewhere?

[tys-spikes84]

How about when Jim Price speaks you drink, it makes you want to drink excessively or at least envy the deaf anyway.

[dreg2003]

ill make the edits to my first post instead of posting the whole thing over and over again.

[DTroppens]

You have yourself a good game here.

Experienced players will recognize this activity which can include stepping over the play by play with yelps, screams or any array of noises, use of non-words, abundant laughing or appearing overly giddy. HEEHAHAHA!!!!

Rods the man.

[Eric Cioe]

He says "art of pitching" way too often for it to be more than 1 drink.

[tigerkid23]

The three drinks for obnoxiously breathing into the microphone would get you really messed up really quickly.

[LouisvilleTiger]

I'm calling for two drinks every time Jims describes something as "TERRIFIC"

He doesn't seem to say as much this year though

[dreg2003]

Friday night, I am going to call a buddy, get my self a 12 pack and take this bad boy for a spin. Ill do my best to keep a tally by inning and let you guys know how it went.

Everyone understands that this is supposed to be done with Faygo, correct?

Only on the weekdays.

[TigersFan81371]

How many drinks when Jim refers to Al Kaline as "Mr. Kaline"? I seem to hear that quite a bit.

[tigerfanfromchicago]

That definitely needs to be added. Also, when he refers to Kaline as Number 6.

[MrStrunz]

Lets not forget......." Batting Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiird".

Better get a case, a 12 pack might not be enough.

Then, you would get a serious sugar high and likely develop diabetes by the time the All-Star Break came around.

ROTFL

I love it. I thought I was the only one who noticed that that idiotic quark.

Since thats a guaranteed one at the beginning of every game, will put that at two drinks just to get the game (and your thirst) jump started.

[tigerfanfromchicago]

One drink every time he mentions Zuber Buick.
