General Silliness: 2 drinks may be had when Rod displays general silliness. This optional rule can be applied in group or individual play and can be declared before the game or invoked when the silliness occurs. General silliness can be loosely interpreted as that’s why it’s not technically part of the rules. Experienced players will recognize this activity which can include stepping over the play by play with yelps, screams or any array of noises, use of non-words, abundant laughing or appearing overly giddy. HEEHAHAHA!!!!

3 drinks whenever rod says pulled the string on him

porcellander said...

3 drinks any time Rod says:
"you can pretty much write that down."

Aren't all these things just cliches that every MLB announcer says? I hear "slide piece" and "filthy" and "pulled the string" 30 times a week on the MLB package.

Whenever Rod mentions his time with the 84 tigers, take 8 drinks (the amount of hits he had with the '84 tigers)

I always thought about a drinking game on Rod Allen when he says "excuse me" or when he calls a player by name and says "I see you"!
