VEB meet-greet in Springfield

You all want drama...how bout our own little soap opera down in Springfield?

Now that I have your attention, there is no way that the Rolen/TLR mess goes all the way to the last week in March. Right?

More importantly, however, is that the big club IS coming back to face the SCards. I didn't want to completely steal Fritz's idea, so I will only share in the VEB meet-and-greet glory.

I am all for traveling up for a game at BIII, but my wallet may have other ideas. I am relatively new to the Joplin area, but I did hit up a couple of Springfield games last year. Not only was the team fun to watch, but there is tons of room out on the grass. This is perfect for a two reasons.

With the big club coming up for two games, there is an opportunity for us to get together for cheaper and a closer-knit atmosphere. Anyone interested in bringing a lawn chair and hanging out at the nicest minor-league park I have seen?

I'm all for it...

but getting tickets to either of those games won't be easy. They're offered first to season ticket holders, who'll eat up most of them.

My birthday is on the 29th (Friday), so I'm supposedly already going to that game. I'd love to come chat with the group!

No lawn chairs???

What kind of rule is that...I will use a few of my contacts in this area to find out about tickets. I would hope they would want to sell out the place, pack the grass if you will.

Yeah

i was turned away at the gate last year with a lawn chair, something about blocking the view of others

I don't live in Springfield anymore

But I just wanted to say that your signature is my favorite Simpsons quote of all time.

Hey, if you guys get enough people together to do this, it would make an interesting niche sports story for GO Magazine, don't you think? If only the editor knew about it...

I can't think of a good offseason signature.
