Yeah, let’s all go down there and meet Mike’s son’s girlfriend.

(I assume Mike is picking up the check…)

I'll be the guy at the bar drinking Scotch.

I'll be the guy passed out on the floor from drinking Scotch.

Enjoy your dinner!

I'm also missing the game tonight to enjoy the Portland dining scene. First time going to https://www.tercetpdx.com/ since before Covid. They are having a vegetarian week and it's too good to pass up!

That looks like a place I should visit!

My son paid last night. I complimented his planning, to pay for two people, so I'd feel obligated to pay for four people tonight....I feel like we raised him well.

Let's hope your son doesn't read the game thread. 

If that son ever comments online, or anywhere, about sports, assume he's been kidnapped!

It's truly outstanding! Used to be called Roe and had a slightly different format: four courses (raw fish, shell fish, fin fish, and dessert) with two choices for each course. We've been holding off now because their standard tasting menu has terrestrial meat courses, and at that price skipping the meat courses wouldn't make sense. When I got their email announcing they veggie week, it took about 30 seconds to jump on and make the reservation!

I guess this either means that your son is picking up the tab for @AlwaysinModerationand me, or passed out on the floor from Scotch @USAFChiefis.  

I'm fine with either, I just need to know where to direct the bill.

And then we can all get chicken gizzard blizzards on @Squirrelon the way home.

MAT got a brush back pitch from Brock Stewart during live BP today with Stewart hitting 97-99. Yes

Sure. Ask for Brock. It's my psuedonym

That depends on how he responds to this...

[Mike Sixel]

Also, look for Seth when you get there. He looks just like me.... Just call me Seth, though, so I don't get confused.

Math was never your strong suit, Mike.

But yes, you raised him right.

If @USAFChief is passed out on the floor, pretty easy to let his credit card pay.

Yeah, that would depend on the ‘flavor’ of the gummies …

I was trying to accept kind charity before resorting to blind thievery.

I'm sure @USAFChiefwould do the same for me.

Look at this way, @USAFChiefis already passed out.  He can't do you any more damage at this point!

Thanks whoever merged threads.

They merged so seamlessly, and brought pleasure to all parties involved.

This pitching matchup doesn’t exactly say ‘probable winner’. But, as they say…that’s why you play the games.

Let’s go bats!

112 HRs from the top 4 spots in the Mets lineup. 

Pitch around em, Dallas. Start with bases loaded, 1 in none out.

 

The Mets are a dumpster fire.
