    Default The (official) let's meet up at the bar to watch the Tigers thread




    So we've had a MTS night at Comerica a couple of years ago, and it was pretty fun, and last year that night never got off of the ground, so I am wondering if meeting up at a local watering hole would generate more interest.

    So I am curious to know if posters would be interested in meeting at a bar to have a drink, take in the Tigers, and just have a good time in general.

    I'm thinking we can have one at various locales (eastside, westside, downriver, etc.). Let me know your thoughts.

    I'm thinking Meatheads Video Poker Bar in Vegas would be good. I haven't been there but a quick search turned it up as a Detroit sports bar in Vegas. First rounds on me.

    I say we either go to Toadhunter's or Corky's for beer and BBQ.

    I`d be into this (in Detroit, not Vegas, ha) if it happens to be between August 6-15 this year.

    I'd love to have one in Boston (lookin' at you, kdog & LouSlug, plus anyone from the Chelmsford contingent if they would want to hang, too). For instance, my local watering hole (Donohue's in Watertown) would put the Tigers game on for us any time.
    I'm a little verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves. I'll give you a topic. Range Factor is neither about a fielder's range, nor should it be much of a factor when discussing fielding prowess. Discuss.

    Bumping this because 1.) I was just reminded of this and b.) I am still interested.

    That might be a possibility, if it's "T"able.

    Keep in mind I have a bad habit of screaming at tvs when bad plays are made....

    I should be at the August 22nd & 23rd games if anyone else is going to be at the park then. Not sure about any other games that week yet.

    If I didn't feel so socially awkward around people I've never met I'd probably be more comfortable with this :P
    I'll be taking my father to see the game next Wednesday, we'll be hitting up Texas De Brazil before the game. Pigging out and having a few drinks.

    I catch a game here in Kzoo at a few different places from time to time (Taphouse, Old Chicago, Waldos, Wings Etc.). Usually with the girlfriend or the old man and my friend/roommate.

    I'll buy your first round, if that is a motivator.

    Same goes for the rest of you morons.

    How many eastsiders are interested in meeting up?

    I could probably head out there next week. Propose a date and time, and we can go from there.

    Obviously I won't be attending but I will say that Biggs is a gentleman and a good guy to watch a ballgame with.

    I think I'd rather see if we can get a block tickets in the same spot and make it a day at the ballpark rather than a day in a bar. Doesn't have to be great seats; cheap seats would be fine.

    Tried that last year and had very limited interest. I can throw that out there again if others are interested.
