October 2nd Game Meetup — The Back of My Pickup Truck

Sorry for the late notice, fair NotGraphs readers, but if you are in the vicinity of my truck this evening, I’m hosting an impromptu NotGraphs meetup. See, I planned on watching tonight’s Wild Card game at my house on my TV, but I got in a little bit of a tiff with the old ball and chain about a totally misinterpreted text message from her SECOND cousin. Things got out of hand, as it happens.

But, this will not stop me from enjoying what is promising to be a great pitching matchup and an exciting playoff game. And since my schedule has cleared up quite a bit, I figured I’d invite some of my adoring fans to watch as well. Trust me, this is not some sort of needing-to-be-surrounded-by-people-because-I-shouldn’t-be-alone-right-now situations. I’m doing great, you guys.

We won’t have a TV, but I will have Postseason.TV playing on my iPad. It’s an iPad Mini, so things might get a little tight, but it’s really more about the hang, right guys? Also, I’ve run into a bit of a cash flow problem right now. I need to move some money around, and, at the moment, am fairly cash poor. So if you could supply some beverages, that would be great. Make sure to get there early as space is limited, and the shocks on the truck are kind of shot so there’s a weight restriction as well.

When: 7:00 pm CT.

Where: The back of my 2000 Chevy Silverado

Confirmed attendees:

David Temple (NotGraphs/FanGraphs that one time)

My labradoodle Jeff (He’s hypoallergenic and totally chill)

Whatever belongings I could grab before my wife changed the locks.

 

Just some beers, buds, and baseball. What could be better?
