Announcements, Announcements!

A couple of announcements – announcements about which we are very excited – for you before you head off on your Fourth of July extended weekend:

First, for our next get together, we’re putting together a little party, er, fiesta we are calling a “Pennant Race Pep Rally” at Pappasitos in Arlington in advance of the second half of the season. All plans are still being finalized, but the current plan is for a get together on Thursday, July 16 at Pappasitos Cantina in Arlington. We’ll be there from 5 p.m. until who knows when. GM Jon Daniels and Ron Washington are tentatively planning to join the crowd and address what’s ahead for the Rangers. We will have a whiffle ball home run derby for the kids – emceed by none other than the great Chuck Morgan – early in the festivities. The lineup of players who will share some fajitas with us is still being ironed out. But make plans to join us. We hope to bring together the spirit of Cinco de Mayo and Pennant Race Fever.

Second, and we’re sooper-dooper excited about this: You asked for the opportuntiy to get together at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Well, we’re making it happen. And for a premium game, no less. Join us on Tuesday July 21 when the Rangers face the Boston Red Sox. As expected, I’ve requested the All You Can Eat Seats in the Home Run Porch. The Rangers have made tickets prices extremely affordable: $25 apiece and the food will be abundant. The Rangers have even put together a link for you to buy tickets directly. Password: inside. We’ll have more festivities, including possible Q&A sessions, available for you at the game, but those are all still being put together. Join me as I try to eat a whole cow’s worth of hamburgers. Even if you want nothing to do with me, the tickets are a good price and it should be a great matchup

Rossometown @ July 2nd, 2009 at 3:18 pm

Sounds doable. Any healthy food in that section?
JuanGon @ July 2nd, 2009 at 3:21 pm

@rossometown: grilled chicken sandwiches, I think.

Sorry guys, no burgers. Went to the All you Can eat for the Yankees game and asked my nephew what they needed to added and he said “burgers and ice cream” for the kids of course.
Evan Grant @ July 2nd, 2009 at 4:02 pm

@All: Nevertheless, I’ll be eating whatever they are serving.
Mick @ July 2nd, 2009 at 4:16 pm

I’ll be at both.
Mick @ July 2nd, 2009 at 4:22 pm

Question for anyone with knowledge of the AYCE section: Is bottled water included? I’m guessing no since I’ve never seen it mentioned.
becca @ July 2nd, 2009 at 4:27 pm

evan, you sure did plan a big party for my birthday! fajitas AND rangers! fantastic.
Auditor @ July 2nd, 2009 at 5:30 pm

@Mick, they have the standard serve yourself fountain stands (at least in the Front Row/Rawlings area). Think it will dispense water and you can add ice. Not bottled water, but iced water at least.

Awesome! Never sat in the all you can eat, but was talking about it last night….

Hope to make it happen!
Tom B @ July 2nd, 2009 at 9:27 pm

Awesome!!! I wanna go. What if Evan’s popularity sells out the entire stadium? Can we expect the spillover to fill up Jerry’s Palace also? I like the idea.
Dan @ July 2nd, 2009 at 10:59 pm

I just tried to get 1 ticket and it was giving me one in Row 20 of the section right next to the foul pole. Is that around what everyone else is getting?
