The Mid-Summer Classic

The House is pleased to announce the results of the balloting for the 2008 First Friday Poker All-Star Game, which will take place at 8 pm Wednesday, July 9, here at The House That Ruth and Her Husband Ernest Built.

Elected by unanimous vote of the fans (Oskar) is … The House.  (Thank you, thank you vurry, vurry much.)  The player part of the voting ran a little bit oddly, since each of you schlubs voted for yourself.  Doesn’t anybody watch Survivor, for god’s sake?

Well, you’re all on the roster for the Mid-Summer Classic.  Along with, of course, Derek Jeter.  He seems to get into these things even if he hasn’t had a clutch hit since the Truman Administration.

The House sincerely hopes that you all will be taking the Game seriously, since it will decide who gets home field advantage in October.  Oh.  That’s right.  That’s already been decided.

Well, come on out anyway.

Best,

The House
