southsider2k5 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) Well we had been trying to organize the rematch with WSI for the softball game we played with them last year, but they have officially wimped out now. The question to the general posting public is such... Is there enough interest in a softball game on Soxtalk to get two teams together to play an internal game, followed by tailgating and a patio party? The two dates we are eyeing are July 19 vs KC or Aug 23 vs TB. Both are saturday nite games, which gives us time to play an early afternoon softball game. Who all is interested? The possibility of including friends or coworkers to make this happen is also something we are open to if need be. IN!

shipps Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I will say Iam definetly interested in doing it but I have 0 confidence in any other soxtalkers coming through on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I'd be interested. I'd assume wives could join to watch the game and attend the patio party, correct, or is it guy's day out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 They can even play if we have enough space. Anyone is welcome to attend. It was a great time last year, and we are hoping for a bigger response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I would really like it if we could get a big gathering for this. Hell, I'm 1,000 miles away and I made it last year, so you Wisconsin/Illinois/Indiana folks, get off your lazy ass and make it!! Seriously, it was a blast, and I think that you won't be sorry if you could attend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we did it last year, and we kicked their asses (WSI). I would be in, again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vandy125 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I could probably make the trip from Iowa for the July 19th one. This would be 16 inch, right? We only got 12 inch out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 If you guys get the date early enough and we know its going on, I'll book Friday off of work and make a vacation out of it (haven't been to Chicago in over two years now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 August 23rd is a no go for me as that's my 21st and I'll be back at school. The July date I'd prolly be down for though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ May 7, 2008 -> 06:28 PM) How much would it be? Its free for the softball game, and if you want to do a patio party, you would have to pay for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
