A company must have really good lawyers to feel confident encouraging that much alcohol consumption on their premises.

Those beers are 3 or 4 ounces or something like that and the hot dogs are mini-2 biters.  So it's kind of like drinking 2 beers and 3 hot dogs.

I know some guys who could easily finish that off by the end of the first inning.

It makes perfect sense that the Mets version is watered down from a the original.

Might as well swap the beer for Appie Juice, because that’s a baby challenge

The beers are only 4oz each for a total of 36oz. That’s less than buying the two large beers they limit you to at the kiosks. 

How big are the hot dogs? That's what she wants to know.

[oblong]

the hardest part wouldn't be consuming it.  It would be waiting the 9 innings to do it.  I'd finish the 4 ounces for the first hitter.  Then buy another beer while I wait for the next inning.

The game is 1 beer/dog per inning

Maybe it’s just spring training issues, but I’ve watched numerous mlb.tv games where the feed is disrupted and the screen goes black then it comes back highly pixelated and I seriously doubt it has anything to do with my 800 MB download speed. And this is happening on everybody’s feeds.

This is not real. But it should have been.

Absolutely hate the nickname and refuse to engage with it, other than to say that if I were to choose one thing I would never want to contemplate about a baseball player, it would be his ass.

This should make Lee's day (at least the news comes late so there isn't much left to it)

With a real possibility of Las Vegas simply collapsing because of the migration of gambling to people’s phones, as well as the pressures on domestic travel and the foreign tourist business due to politics, could the rush of major league teams to set up camp there for the promise of easy gambling money be aborted?

Neat video covering the ABS system.

This takes me back many years to the old forum.     I had to make sure it wasn’t April 1st.   I have no idea what they are charging for this but it’s got to be a mint. 

 

 

9 Dixie cups of beer and 3 hot dogs in buns, each cut into thirds.

I guess.  I mean, MLB shouldn’t be in the game of promoting getting liquored up, and who wants to sit next to someone who is chowing 9 tube steaks?  Egads…

$55 bucks and it comes with a tall boy

Bert Kreischer is an annoying human being. 

[IdahoBert]

I’ve been “watching” this game with the sound off. But I have a feeling that with the Yankees cloud burst of runs the crowd has somewhat been “taken out of the game.“

[IdahoBert]

God, I really despise interviewing players when they’re in the field. It trivializes the game like you can be as distracted as a viewer on TV when you’re playing this game.

Hyperbole. Vegas is fine.

Aaron Judge with a platinum sombrero so far

Tough debut for the Giant’s new manager.  He keeps this up and he might get replaced by a High School varsity coach.
