NorthSideSox72 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Eno Sarris of Fangraphs is organizing a Chicago Baseball meet-up, at Rocking Horse (on Milwaukee). There will be $4 pints of quality beers, free appetizers, and about a dozen media folks and baseball writers there to answer your questions and talk ball. We did one last year and it was a great time. Here's their press release. Come on out! Not only are there 2 FutureSox writers going, there will also be people from Fangraphs, Baseball Prospectus, The Athletic, CBS Sports, CSN, Yahoo Sports, etc. so far (others being added).

caulfield12 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Any SoxTalk Beef? Unfortunately, landing in Chicago on the afternoon of the 17th, but it seems like a really cool event...not sure they'd have much patience for a 16 1/2 month old, though. Did they invite someone from Jeter's site (The Undefeated) to come? Not their niche? Edited July 6, 2016 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Rocking horse isn't very big, surprised how many guests will be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 02:33 PM) Rocking horse isn't very big, surprised how many guests will be there. Last time, we essentially had run of the back room (the pool table became just a table), plus the back patio was almost all our crowd, and a few people around the bar. It's not an event with like hundreds of people - maybe a few dozen. As long as it isn't pouring rain, the back porch makes it workable.

Dunt Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Thinking I might try to make this since I had to miss the last one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boopa1219 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I should be back from Detroit by then, so I plan on going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarComing25 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I might end up going to this. For those of us going from Soxtalk, maybe we should wear nametags with our usernames on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3GamesToLove Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I'd be all over this...and I'm going to be in the city...but it's for our mini-honeymoon. Oops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Does anyone know how much this event costs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Event is free to attend and the appetizers are complimentary. They have specially priced beers at the event (if you so choose). Matt or Dan can add more specifics or correct me if I'm mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a whole bunch of baseball writers of different stripes (not just blogs, but mainstream media types too) available to chat with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
