As of way of saying thank you to our quality posters, we are offering the top nine people with the highest reputation points, two tickets to Wednesday June 15th game versus the Astros.
Just post your rep points (don't forget we can check). Please make sure you can go to the game.

Would it be considered immoral to give bad rep to people who are ahead of us for proprietary gain??
I probably shouldn't suggest such devious things when I'm currently in the top 9 (or top 5 as of right now).

Oh man, that'd be hilarious. It'd be easy enough to figure out on Tony's end, but hilarious all the same.

I'm at 255, but I can't use the tickets, so I respectfully decline the offer if I were to win. But thanks anyway. It's a great idea, and if you do it again next year, I'm in.

This is a great offer though from the Hangout though and hopefully we are lucky enough to see more of these.-

They will all be together in two rows. I'm closing this thing by tonight so I can get the tickets out so even if you have a little, post them, you might make it....

Wow, your "crusade" against whining and negativity has REALLY paid off, huh? j/k ;)
94 points here, and even though I wouldn't even be close to the top, I couldn't attend either. I'm also bummed that I will be in Atlanta the weekend prior to the O's being there...timing is everything.

Hm. Well, it's fairly obvious that I can't go, being way across the country and all. But I would happily donate my 139 points to some worthy poster, if the powers that be okay that sort of thing and if I'm bribed well enough....:D

So at least 2 out, and we have 2 alternates. If anyone else can't make it, and Cindy if you're reading this, post how many points you have because you have two green pips at the moment anyway, and I would think that's good enough...believe it or not!

I know the game is 6 nights away and, therefore, how accurate could the weather report be?? But there is a 60% chance of showers Wednesday night. I may be wrong, but I really think these seats may be underneath that cover thing (whatever it's called), so that could be a good thing. :p

I should be there for batting practice with a friend of mine (started because I'd be on his computer reading it) who reads the Hangout, but never posts. I usually go to the flag porch or the bleachers for BP. Unless we have a different plan, I'll be at the seats after that.

I'll be up as soon as possible, but the little woman (and you guys will see that's not just an euphamism, she's barely cracks 5 feet) doesn't get out of work till 5. I'm hoping to be there by 630-645, so not much pre-gaming for me.

I'm not going to be able to meet at a bar as I'll have my 7 year old in-tow (most likely...I think he's having second thoughts...today is the last day of school and one of his friends from the neighborhood is having a pool party...I could wind up tossing the extra ticket to MonkeyPumpers if he's available. If not, I've got a few other die-hards that might take the extra ticket). I'm sure he'll want to explore the ballpark and get an autograph or two, so we'll probably go right down to field-level as soon as we get there as long as the ushers permit it.

Haha yeah, had a great time with you all, good to meet you. Scottie, hope we didn't scare the little guy too much, but he seemed to be having a fun time. My friend was jealous of his Game Boy.
Finally got a win on one of these things...I guess it is safe for Yudi to come over after all :P.

Good times last night you guys! Thanks for keeping it family-friendly considering the young ears that accompanied me. I really appreciated it!
MChance & Wedge...sorry we didn't chat a little more. Having my son with me, I didn't want to A) drink and drive (when I've got my kids with me I don't even drink 1 if I'm driving) so I skipped the beer, and B) I didn't want to frighten the bejeezus out of him/weird him out by letting him see his ol' man get rowdy at a ballgame! I loosened up a little the last two innings after the woman in the row behind us yelled, "Yeah! Go Red Sox!" (I couldn't BELIEVE it...we're 6 outs away from sweeping an Astros team that was on a 5-game winning streak before they came to Baltimore and this lady had the NERVE to start cheering for Boston!) and when I realized Cole looked like he wasn't phased.
By the way...anyone else think if you threw a mustache, a red cap, and blue overalls on Sal Fasano he'd look like Super Mario? As-is, he looks more like a plumber than a professional athlete!

Likewise! No, he wasn't phased a bit. He had a real good time! He's pretty easy-going anyway and seems like he's cool as long as him and I are hanging out. He told me last night as we left the park he wants to grow hair like Scott one day because "He looked like a rock n' roll guy and that's cool." He also said he thinks the Astros should practice harder because "It's okay to lose...someone always has to...but not by 5 runs!" :D

Now that is a compliment.

I say let him grow the hair out. Just be wary of venturing into mullet territory. Theres nothing creepier than a little kid with a mullet.

Dude, I am a mullet hunter! There was a guy in a yellow sleeveless shirt last night with a killer mullet...thinning on the top, but the party was about halfway down his back. I kept seeing him at the concourse talking on his cell phone. I'm guessing he was checking on his 78 Camaro that was in the shop getting the chain link steering wheel and footprint pedals installed!

Haha, thats hilarious.
When I was in high school, my computer science teacher was teaching us how to do PowerPoint presentations. He gavea 15 minute presentation on mullets, it was the most thorough and complete epic on the mullet I've ever seen.
I went to Italy over spring break this year. You'd be amazed at how many 8-14 year old kids have mullets there. It got to the point where I thought it might be part of some school dress code that you have to have a mullet.

Don't worry... I think I drank enough for the both of us... :o Oy. But it was really cool meeting you and everyone else. I recognized Mark right away from Facebook. I wish I could have chatted with ScOtt and everyone else over to my right. I got the shaft with seats 9 and 10. I see how it is... put the midget on the end. Johno's behind that one, I know!!

I got kinda hammered too, but I wasn't paying $6 a beer lke the rest of you suckers!
I brought myself a little half a fifth of SoCo and brought it into the stadium.
We definitely need to do this again, I had a good time, just wish I could have gotten to talk more to all the "left-enders" down there.

Well, you'll know it... :)
There was this really sexy, bleach blonde little girl sitting way up high that stole my drunken heart. Some may tell you that she was in 8th or 9th grade, and that may be true, but that's beside the purpose. She left before I could confess my true, inner feelings for her. It wasn't meant to be, Squeeze... just wasn't meant to be.

Guys, glad you all had a great time. We're looking to do more of these types of nights in the future (some with free tickets and some at a discounted rates).
We're going to be getting some Hangout shirts made again so hopefully everyone will where one of those the next time!!! :)
BTW, did Scott talk to anyone? He came to my going away party and swear I don't think I heard him say two words all night after we said our initial hellos. :)

I would have conversed more, but I kept having to explain to my fiance what the difference between a DH and a pinch hitter, and sitting through her fascination on what color Orioles shoelaces were. :) But at least she's got an interest, right?
By the way, Mack, were you trying to hide that SoCo? Because if so...you didn't hide it very well. :D
The next one of these is without doubt going down when I am in the States this summer. I'm there for all of July and August and I don't want another one of those 6 people Hangout meetings like last year. I wan't all of you back again, to meet the Yudmeister who has flown thousands of miles to watch his beloved birds.
So all of you be prepared to do this again very soon. Ok?

I was just trying to make it not blatantly obvious to the ushers that I had a bottle.
I'm not sure if they just take it away or if they kick you out, and I didn't particularly want to find out.
Naturally, as the bottle got emptier and emptier, my attempts at secrecy got weaker and weaker.

Thanks again, Tony. It was nice despite all the heated arguments we've had here over the years to find out we're all just big-time O's fans and good people to boot.
I most definitely want a Hangout T-shirt!!! Let us know when they're done.
And I don't remember Scott doing a whole lot of talking, but he sure did look like he was having a great time!

It was a random thing, searched on "Orioles" once and one of the items about to end was an "Iced out Orioles bling." I had to get it, at that price. I can't find anything on there like that at the moment, but they've gotta be out there somewhere.

Yeah, I was doing the same thing. I was thinking maybe I didn't know what "rep points" meant and they didn't have anything to do with what showed up when I checked my User CP.
