Thanks! Happy birthday to you too

We rented the Batters Eye box yesterday and watched the cubs lose to the phillies, had 100 friends and family in there – AWESOME place to have a party

About $125 per head

Ballpark Food, Open Bar, Carving Station, Sandwiches, Munchies and Free tshirts/hats/goodies…..definitely a fantastic spread

Is their

a minimum amount of people you have to have?

by sue369 on Sep 1, 2008 4:16 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I believe they have packages of 50, 75 and 100

but don’t quote me on that. I do know there are set amounts of tickets that you can get.

Thanks!! I read your post

on that yesterday. Sounds like a neat place to celebrate a birthday.

Yep, it's just you get used to pounding the ball

a lot lately and when they cool off, it’s frustrating.

Mid 9 in Milwaukee

Hall, Kendall and pitcher’s spot due

Mets screwed up a scoring change when Reyes got picked off — standing up. All the talent in the world, but sometimes he just looks indifferent.

Thanks Mon Frere

Let me just say that, as far as Hunter Pence goes, I just don’t like the guy. He just rubs me the wrong way.

wouldn't you PH for Kendall?

His bat sucks, there has to be some better hitter than him and I’m sure they brought up a third catcher

by astroview on Sep 1, 2008 4:17 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Actually, I thought that the Brewers had 4 catchers now...

Was listening the game on XM for a bit earlier.
