2) Squidball registry for Spring/Summer MMXI is UPON US.  Fees have GONE UP some.  All leagues are COED RECREATIONAL.  Here’s what you’ll pay:

-FoPa Sundays 04/10 to 07/17: $30 (THIRTY DOLLARS)
-ToGro Tuesdays early May to mid-August: $35 (THIRTY-FIVE DOLLARS)
-Monster Bonanza BOFE deal: $60 (SIXTY DOLLARS, that’s right, I am covering the five-buck differential for anyone that wants to do BOFE!)

LEMME KNOW what you wanna do and I will send you SQUIDPAY® INSTRUCTIONS.

Money’s DUE so ACT NOW.  Trust when I say you don’t wanna deal with crabby PANCAKES if he has to put in a personal call to ya in a week and a half (at which point he might even impose a SQUIDLAZINESS PENALTY FEE) cuz of yer failure to respond HERE, NOW, to THIS.

Ink ‘Em, Sink ‘Em, Green & Gold,
PANCAKE MASTER – #88

P.S. Start thinking about SQUIDSONGS, and about whether March 26th or April 2nd works best as a Squid Kickoff Practice/Party/Barbecue date.

I know at one point we had discussed getting some sweet Squid athletic pants–preferably tear-away, and preferably green with gold stripes down the sides, and maybe even with a number on ‘em somewhere–but suggestions are welcome on any given part of anything).  Of course if there’s enough interest we can get more hoodies.  I seem to recall they were $25-$30 apiece when we ordered seven of ‘em.  I know JANTERNET, SUB A DUB, and CHIP IT were none too happy with the green-on-gold color scheme but that is just how Squid hoodies are so either change yer mind or deal wiff it!  In any case, if there are a handfulla Squids interested in the hoodie circuit (for selves, or friends, or whatever–they do make a great gift!) I can look into that again.

So, if anyone is interested in any article of Squid clothing, let me know:

1) That you’re interested.
2) What you might like (hat, regular jersey, hoodie, bowling shirt, pants, MORE?)
3) Any particulars (size, quantity, name & number to put on there)

…and if there’s a critical mass of Squids wantin’ (unfortunately one-offs are pretty cost- and legwork-prohibitive), we can set about getting some ordered well in advance of the new season starting.

There are trophies for the tournament, some kinda (possibly video-game-based) home-run derby, and a drinking contest.  I have money riding on Z-STROYER for at least the latter two.  I’ll bring the SQUIDBONG! and the SQUIDBOX/SQUIDBOT unit, maybe come up with some songs for Squids to jam to.  JAM!

WHAT!?  Here’s STRYKER in the Galápagos Islands, and BEASTOR-X at Machu Picchu in Peru, representing in fine Squid fashion.  BLAM!

I’ve made a spreadsheet version of the Summer 2010 schedules. The document has each league on a sheet, and a third sheet that merges the schedules of both leagues. This will complement the calendar application found here on the homepage of Squid-Ball.com. You can find the schedule by going to the Team Resources page, or by visiting this link:

Summer 2010 Schedules

Soon I hope to add links in the Field column to a Google Map coordinate for each field we play on. For now I’ve been making a Google Map of the Squidball fields which is, at the time of this writing, not yet complete. It can be found here:

Squidball Fields Google Map

I also intend to make a VCF for each field so that those of you with iPhones or other devices that can read VCF contact info cards and interact with map applications can easily find a field, even if you’ve never been to it. This should help those of you who still get lost in Forest Park or are intimidated by the super-wide Tower Grove Park.
