RockRaines Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 QUOTE(JimH @ May 15, 2006 -> 02:35 PM) Pop up, one out. Anyone of age going to Cincy, make absolutely sure you stop for a beer at Arnold's Bar and Grill, 210 E. 8th Street, downtown. Oldest saloon in the city, since 1861. Nice courtyard and live music many nights, no cover. Good food, inexpensive. I like it for lunch. Walkable to the ballpark, a hike, but walkable. You love that place huh? After the game, fieldtrip to hofbrauhaus for huge steins of beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 After the game, fieldtrip to hofbrauhaus for huge steins of beer. I bet they'll run a shuttle to the game. Love City View Tavern in Mt. Adams, along with several other places up there. Mt. Adams and Hofbrauhaus are right up you young guy's alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Controlled Chaos Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 QUOTE(JimH @ May 15, 2006 -> 02:46 PM) That's a BIG fine. Probably $100 at least. Just found this.... It is unknown whether Guillen also was forced to pay a fine in kangaroo court, which followed batting practice Friday. Presiding judge was Chris Widger, who replaced the departed Carl Everett. "I tried to get [Jim] Thome or Jermaine [Dye] to be the judge, but they didn't really want to. I was the oldest [player] except for Thome, so I got stuck with it." Players are fined--from $5 and up--for offenses spotted by fellow players. Some are obvious ones that happen during games. Others are less obvious, such as saying the wrong words to media. The money is taken late in the season and used for a players-only meeting while the team is on the road. So does Widger wield a mean gavel? "There will be a lot of `guiltys,' but I'm not that tough a guy," he said. "Let's just say there's a lot of `fineable' people on this team."

Guest JimH Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 If Konerko threw the triple play ball in the stands, the kangaroo court will probably levy an additional fine for not getting the lead runner first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this something all teams do or just certain teams? Yes ... almost all teams do it, it keeps things loose. I remember hearing Tom Seaver got fined after winning his 300th game while with the White Sox ... for being a media moth by winning it in Yankee Stadium. Tough comebacker, nice play by Cotts.
