Title: Springer coming to a town near you
Post by: austro on August 21, 2013, 09:12:42 am: Several of us were discussing this over on the Bus Ride, but there may be people who don't frequent that part of the site and missed it. OKC comes to RR for a 5-game series starting tonight. Drew Corleone, Sphinx Drummond and I went to one of the games last time OKC was in town, and Springer did not disappoint, crushing two homers and a triple. I'm going to go watch him rain cowhide death on the RR staff again, probably Thursday and Friday nights. Is anybody interested in an OWA get-together?

Shingles are brutal. Hang in there.

Thanks. The rash is right along the belt line of my left hip. For the next couple of weeks I'll be wearing my pants either like a gangster rap artist or Ed Grimley. I haven't decided yet, so until I figure that out, I'll just be laying around the house in my underwear.

Ouch. That reminds me to ask about the vaccine.

Man, that sucks. I hope your case isn't too severe (if there's even such a thing as a case of "not too severe" shingles).

Ok, thanks for the heads up.
