Official 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Drinking Game!

Given the high density of drinkers and/or alcoholics on the site anyways, I figured it'd be a fun idea to come up with an official drinking game for this season, and then pick one (or several) game/s this season to have everyone on VEB participate, if they are so inclined.

Star-divide

Here are my ideas so far:

  • Skip Schumaker hits a groundball to the right side - 1 drink
  • Colby Rasmus has a ball hit over his head in CF - 1 drink
  • A Miguel Batista inning takes over 15 minutes - 1 drink
  • Ryan Theriot fails to make a routine throw - 1 drink
  • Chris Carpenter yells at either the opposing pitcher and/or our starting shortstop - 1 drink
  • Albert Pujols hits into a double play - Finish your drink
  • Yadier Molina picks someone off or catches them stealing - 1 drink
  • Any Cardinals player hits a home run - 1 drink
Feel free to suggest others and suggest what day to do this on (weekend or weekday?); I'll update this post with the finalized game and what date we choose

Best I can come up with..

If the Cardinals score 6 runs or more, take a shot of the cheapest drink you can get your hands on.

Oh yeah, I hit a lot of bombs. Don’t kid yourself.

6 sure is a serious number.

i think you need to define "a miguel batista inning"

is that any inning he pitches in, or only if he pitches the whole thing, etc

If Miguel Batista takes longer than 15 minutes to finish whatever inning he comes in

So you can drink multiple times for this in one game

This is what I was wondering.

Like one more drink for 20 then a drink for every minute after 20 and finish your drink if he doesn’t finish. May be over kill, I don’t know.

I think whatever we choose, we should limit it to 9 occuracnes

(not 9 drinks, but 9 things that cause drinks)

Al talks about how tough pitchers back in his day were - 1 drink

Skip adjust his batting gloves – 1 drink (/alcohol poisoning)

Al mentions that the only thing that

they’ve done for pitchers in the last 40 years is give them the white shoe scraper, finish your drink.

pitcher pinch hits

drink 1 per pitch in the plate appearance

by mikey_mac on Apr 13, 2011 11:59 AM EDT reply actions  

Player of the Day plate appearance socials!

guess the total bases in each plate appearance by the POTD — if you’re correct, pass out 2X that many drinks to the VEBers of your choice (e.g., guess a double, if POTD hits a double, pass out 4 drinks). if you’re wrong and under, drink 2X the difference (pay for your pessimism). If you’re wrong and over, drink the difference.

POTD is voted on prior to the start of the game and selected by simple majority.

Any time Yadi picks off a runner or throws a runner out attempting to steal

Drink 1. Or two if the result is a K-CS.

And that's already been said

My addendum of K-CS = 2 drinks still stands.

Drinking game

Finish your beer every time a Cardinal pitcher strikes someone out. Used to be a lot of fun with Waino (cries a little).
