Back to AA Go the Rookies

1) (Cheers)
2) Bulldog
3) The Giant
4) Roxy


So the night started a little slow but picked up speed as we went along. We started at Cheers, which I recommend avoiding unless you are just checking it off of your list as well. The beer was expensive, flat and warm. The ratio of poles to holes was infinite. Staff and the other clientele were doofs.

Next up was Bulldog. A nice bar, good music to choose from. Good prices and as close to a genuine Irish Pub you'll find here. They had a bike in a closet, just in case we needed to drive Paddington to meet his "Chicks". Paddington did manage to meet up with us there, but he showed up with two sweaty dudes...not insinuating anything, but...he showed up with 2 sweaty dudes.

Next we hit the Giant. Quiet place with a friendly staff. Obligatory Russian hooker included. We were traveling light at that point and called up a couple of rookies from the farm team. Our bartender was very friendly and offered to teach us some Korean. One of the rookies asked how he could tell a man they were handsome...again, not insinuating.....Good place, but we had to put a nipple on the rookies' drinks.

Roxy was the last of the new bars before we hit a repeat. One of the rookies had never been to a juicy joint, and boy did we ever show them one. Tons of non-aggressive juicies in their natural habitat. The Don and I downed our beers and were ready to go. The Rooks however had drank a sip or 2, but left when we were ready.

We hit a repeat of Playboys to show the rookies the magic of slushies. The Don decided we should get 2 pitchers since there was 4 of us...Let's just say that 2 of the 4 glasses were filled repeatedly, and 2 did not get half way finished. Good try for the rookies, but they might need a couple of more starts with AA Albuquerque Isotopes. Nice effort and worth at least the at-a-boy or good game.

  1. Haha, great post man. I do have some bad news however...Cheers was a repeat. My bad. We visited it August 14th (a very busy night), and you provided the following review:

    Cheers...Not a good bar. Horrible and empty.

    It's good to see things haven't changed in 2 weeks. Oh well. We really need to start carrying that list around.

    So we had a few injuries last night and I decided to call up a few prospects from the minors. As Elliot said, they didn't come to play. Not only did we send them right back to the minors after the game, I'm now entertaining trade offers. I may ship them off to the Kunsan team for a bag of Skittles and a player to be named later.
