ha, nope. i work for a conservative religious group that doesn't believe in drinking alcohol, and i'll be in chicago for a national education convention of our group. no way there'll be any pub/bar activity for anyone who values their job.

Even on your free time? You aren’t on the clock 24/7 are you?

Geez, just saw this post @Tank, didn’t know you don’t drink.

I always thought it was in the fine print for AW membership.

We all know the AL West is tough this year. Besides having 4 teams over .500 and what looks like 2 teams making the playoffs, the Rangers have the best record among all AL cellar dwellers. There are no easy in-division games.

i am. but i should also mention that my organization's core beliefs are also my core beliefs, and i'm okay with it. going to bars has very little appeal to me.

Saw that Lou Malnatis has a personal size pizza. I think I can manage a respectable amount of that.
