Robin19 released [reply 251: New contract - a must read]

[RightFieldCoder]

Sorry for the unfunny post to follow.

 

We get home after yesterday's Opening Day loss. We had picked up some sub sandwiches for dinner. I grabbed JaDerHeyski and hugged her before we could sit down to eat. "Still an enjoyable game?"

 

"Yes"

 

"What was your favorite part?"

 

"Leaving...I'm just kidding"

 

"No, really, what was your favorite part?"

 

"Being with you."

 

"Almost, but not quite a correct answer"

 

"Huh??"

 

I got down on one knee and whipped a ring out. "It was when you said you'd marry me."

 

Somewhere in the blubbering that followed were a bunch of yeses.

Whoa! Congrats, RFC & Jaderheyski!

 

Good form, RFC. Nicely done.

Aw, that's great! Also, I hope that every time you retell this story, you use the exact phrase "whipped a ring out."

On behalf of all women everywhere, thank you for not proposing on the scoreboard.

Truth. I've said to the S.O. for years, if he tries anything like that, I don't know him.

 

Those full-screen big-text proposals? $1000, according to a Brewers employee I know. 100 times out of 100, I'd prefer to use that money on game tickets.

Sunday was funny. Someone spent the grand for the full-screen proposal. Next was the ~250 one liners. The first one was a proposal. The second one was to ask someone out to prom. So the dude spent his money to impress his woman, only to have someone else's proposal look better and his seem at the same level as prom.

Not to get too far afield, but I can't fathom spending $250 just to publicly ask someone to prom. Am I turning into Abe Simpson?

No. That's just nuts

[Nottso]

What's wrong with Abe Simpson?

Robin19 will play the 2013 season under contract!

 

Robin19 and JaDerHeyski were all set to sign their contract extension after the season. Insiders are saying that the signing will actually happen within a week. A press release earlier this month had stated the contract would happen on October 6th. It now looks like it will happen on February 1st.

 

Brian was reached for official comment this afternoon. "I was having some troubles recently and was worried about any future physicals. I don't know how healthy I'll be when October comes around. JaDerHeyski suggested getting the paperwork signed now."

 

"We'll still have the quote-unquote official signing in October," relayed JaDerHeyski. "The reporters have started making plans to come to the signing party. They will all want photos. I still plan on giving them a good time."

 

Although this move might seem controversial to some, it does make some sense for both sides. Robin19 cannot see team doctors until he is official signed. Getting him signed now will protect both from financial ruin should later medical problems arise.

 

"Besides," Robin19 elaborated, "I get to go out and celebrate the signing on two different nights. Who doesn't want that?"

This June will mark 6 years since I entered into a contract with the big leage club. Traditionally, that marks the beginning of a player's ability to test the free agent waters, but I've been informed that the team holds exclusive rights via a perpetual series of one year options. Any attempt at tampering with other clubs will result in my termination.

That sounds a lot like the reserve clause, which, I believe, has since been ruled unconstitutional.

Congratulations to the Coders! or Robins or Heyskis or whatever we should say.

[RightFieldCoder]

Thank you.

 

I wonder how many other people spend their wedding night going to an Admirals' game and getting serenaded by the UW-Madison band? It was JaDerHeyski's first hockey game in person, and I hadn't been to one since 06. It would have been better if the Admirals hadn't forgotten how to play the entire first quarter.
