Custom Rutgers Jersey?

daveh873 — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 05:09:15 -0000

Sorry about the fanpost. I know this probably doesn't warrant one, but does anyone have any idea where I can get a customized Rutgers football jersey? Ive been searching the interwebs for a while and all ive found is one website which sells custom adidas RU jerseys, and I'd definitely prefer the Nike jersey.

Like I said, I know this may be a bit selfish for a fanpost, and I apologize for that. I just figured if anyone would know, itd probably be someone on here.Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Poor Berg...

even his own team's website can't spell his name correctly. It's 3 E's guys, c'mon now...

Reimold T-shirt Tuesday

daveh873 — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 16:12:17 -0000

Sorry to post this. I know it isnt very interesting, but too bad.

Next Tuesday (the 28th) is Nolan Reimold T-shirt day. I wanted to go but alas, I can't. Working isn't fun. So I was wondering if anyone would:

A: Let me buy them a cheapie $8 ticket and grab a shirt for me

B: If you're already going, let me buy you an $8 ticket. Then you go in, get your T, exit, and enter again and use my ticket to get a T for me

C: Decide they dont want the shirt/have a friend who doesnt want it/find one at the game and let me pay you to mail it to me.

I missed out on Huff shirt day this year which I was bummed about and normall I'd just buy it on ebay, but I just got beat on an AJ bobblehead that the dude paid $11 bucks to get and I'm looking for a better way. Any help is completely appreciated.

Like I said, sorry about the post.

ESPN Recognizes the Greatness that is the O's Outfield

Just a nice little article talking about the kids in the outfield. Nice to see ESPN actually mentioning the O's (apart from the 2 days before Wieters came up that is).

O's come to terms with 1st pick Hobgood

Just noticed nobody had posted anything about this yet.

The O's agreed with Matt Hobgood on a minor league contract with a $2.42mil signing bonus. The link includes video of the press conference. Welcome aboard, Hobgoblin. Or Hobgreat, or maybe Hobbad. We shall see.

HA! HA HA! I found this amusing. Apparently he tested positive during the WBC for Phentermine, which is a drug used to treat obesity. HA!

The good news: No more Castillo!
Bad news: um... is Hendo our lefty guy?

Remember ~~Trembles~~ Dave, JJ is better against lefties than righties.

Anyone making the trip to Philly?

daveh873 — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 19:10:20 -0000

I will def. be there Friday and just may make the trip Sunday (I haven't looked at the pitching match-up or anything, and I only have tickets for Friday as of now, so we'll see). I don't know exactly where i'm sitting, but I believe its in the 400's way up on the 3rd base line. I'll find out for sure when I get them. If anybody whats to say hey or maybe grab a beer pre-game or something to that effect, let me know. I'll be with a pseudo-Phillies fan and i'm afraid for my life as I despise fans of teams from Philidelphia. Should be fun!

O's vs Mets at the Ziegfeld In NYC

daveh873 — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 22:17:35 -0000

I wanted desperately to get to this game as it is the Adam Jones bobblehead game, but it just isn't meant to be. However, it looks like they are going to be showing the game at the Zeigfeld theater in NYC, which is pretty cool. They have concessions so it's made into a ballpark like atmosphere and between innings they do trivia contests and things like that. Its only $12 bucks. Anyone in the NY area interested in going? Here's the link:

2009 Draft day thread

daveh873 — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 22:01:01 -0000

Just in case anyone wants to chat during the draft, I figured i'd throw up a thread. I have no I dea how i'm going to make this long enough to get to the limit to be able to post this, so i'm going to ramble on as long as I can. I'm glad we aren't getting Strasburg because his arm scares me to death and I think he's gonna be injured ALOT and make all his money from his signing bonus (have fun paying that, Natinals). And yes, you can all save this is shove it in my face when he's the second coming of Cy Young.
