This is a league game. This determines who enters the next round-robin, am I wrong?
Particular-Village91@reddit
I see you rolled your way into the semis! Dios mio man. Liam and me? We’re gonna fuck you up

Eight year olds dude
IcebergDarts@reddit
Gonna have to wait til Wednesday though.
PlatoDiedLonely@reddit
You got a date Wednesday baby! Peterast Thrusting intensifies
Curious_george1567@reddit
You’re not wrong walter, you’re just an asshole
ages4020@reddit
This is awesome I wonder if that hat is for sale
Sit_Ubu_Sit-Good_Dog@reddit
$42 is insane for a hat. MLB hats don’t even cost that much.
Incunebulum@reddit
Did you see the underside brim is a carpet?
nastynate248@reddit
Well, it's like Lenin said... You look for the person who benefits and uhh you know what I'm trying to say here

Thank you!!!
Bad_Idea_Hat@reddit
You don't go out and play baseball dressed like that in the middle of a weeknight.
thrance@reddit
Would you take it easy, man!

Man come one, I had a rough night and I hate the fucking Eagles man!
PlatoDiedLonely@reddit
Hate the fuckin eagles.
Dweebil@reddit
Is it a … what night is this?
BurntBridgesMusic@reddit
AI slop
dandle@reddit
It's not, but it's also not good.
I went to the team's website this morning. The hat was available for sale there, as was a jersey done up to resemble a Pendleton Westerley sweater.
I wasn't impressed enough to spend what they are asking for a random minor league team's hat just for the Lebowski connection, but to each his own, man.
ScreamingCryingAnus@reddit
Do you have evidence it’s not? It not only looks exactly like really bad AI art, but the team has used embarrassingly bad AI art in the past, so this is a just a thing they do.
BurntBridgesMusic@reddit
That’s the most ai looking “non ai” ive ever seen. Style in general is very ai, no thumb on right hand
RoundTiberius@reddit
Yeah that team is local for me and I still wouldn't buy that hat
ComradeSmooches@reddit
They couldn't afford to pay an artist?
ScreamingCryingAnus@reddit
The Mallards have a history of using AI art, and not even checking it to make sure it doesn’t look like ass.
Responsible-Store-33@reddit
The dude wears jellies not flops
Iamthapush@reddit
It’s a damn shame they fucked this detail up
ScreamingCryingAnus@reddit
AI slop-ass artwork, then charging top dollar for it.
Adventurous_Tower348@reddit
Dude, are they fuckin' this up!?!
rutherfordacus@reddit
I hope they don’t have the play The Jesuses
SaigonWhoreNoseBiter@reddit
Much to my girlfriend's annoyance I purchased the can koozie and black baseball cap. That rug really ties the cap together, does it not?
boop66@reddit
I followed OP's link, but didn't see where to buy merch. Care to share with the rest of us sinners where we can buy a valued hat? 🎳
Clear-Bee4118@reddit
How do they sell out of preorders?
TransitionExciting60@reddit
Someone just micturated all over our chances man.
boop66@reddit
Nothing is fucked here, Dude.
TransitionExciting60@reddit
Walter, they just killed all the poor pre-orders man
boop66@reddit
You said so yourself, those fucking pre-orders canceled themselves!
boop66@reddit
Well, Dude, We Just Don't Know.
Dharmitage@reddit
All sold out except for X-Small and Small 😕
DeuceOfDiamonds@reddit
Not sure how that happens with pre-orders, but maybe there'll be more available at release. I've got four more detectives on the case. Got 'em working in shifts!
Dharmitage@reddit
Keep us posted! I used to live in Madison and went to dozens of Mallards games back in the day. Another reason why I wanted to pick one of these up.
DeuceOfDiamonds@reddit
Yeah, my wife is from Fond du Lac, so we've been to a few Dock Spiders games when we're up to see her folks. Haven't been over to Madison for a game, bit of a haul from Georgia. Been to New Glarus Brewing and House on the Rock, though. Separate incidents.
Rdubya44@reddit
They need more stock 😩
SaigonWhoreNoseBiter@reddit
Glad you found it! Agreed, the hats were expensive but I couldn't pass it up
boop66@reddit
Yeah! Even if it's double what I normally spend on a cap, a year or two from now I won't care about that extra money but I'll still be stoked to have the hat!
However, like Jeffrey Lebowski I do have financial constraints, so, would you mind helping a brother Seamus out and compare notes on shipping prices?
Regardless, I hope size large comes back in stock soon (and shipping isn't fucked here, dude), 'cuz it's dope, just like a lotta Thai stick!
SaigonWhoreNoseBiter@reddit
That's fucking interesting, man, that's fucking interesting. I think I just picked the basic shipping.
boop66@reddit
For anyone reading this and curious, basic shipping is $8.
But now my question is, if these are pre-order then how can they be sold out of large? Somebody failed social studies, or forgot to feed the monkey.
IcebergDarts@reddit
I’m hoping that they see how well they are pre selling and come out with more… I’m a hat guy and obviously TBL is my favorite movie so I need this hat.
EmpanadaYGaseosa@reddit
You mean your special lady friend?
Adventurous_Tower348@reddit
He's just helpin' her conceive, man!
yamothashouldknow@reddit
I don’t tell the wife til it gets delivered. She can get annoyed at a later date.
Altman_Be_Praised@reddit
Fuckin A, man.
Skinslippy3@reddit
It's like Lenin said, you look for the person who will benefit… and, uh, uh, you know… You know, you'll uh, uh—well, you know what I'm trying to say…
DeuceOfDiamonds@reddit
Wouldn't hold out much hope for getting a hat, though. Sorry to say that they (except Small and Extra Small) appear to be gone. Not really sure how pre-orders can sell out, but here we are. Was able to snag a jersey, though.
Fortunately, I've been adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug regimen to keep my mind, y'know, uhh... limber.
Haunting_Ant_5061@reddit
Woo! Throwin’ strikes tonight! You guys are out in the order.
Adventurous_Tower348@reddit
No, like I said, Woo peed on my rug.
Boozy_Cat_@reddit
Hats are sold out in adult sizes. This aggression will not stand, man.
Aggravating-Key-8867@reddit
This is great, but click through to see their logo from last year's Nirvana tribute game. The duck has a....well let's just say they were pretty faithful to the Nevermind album art.

Where's the link to buy?
AlGeee@reddit
See above comment
MrBlonde1984@reddit
I literally see no link. Just one for the story.

Edit: found it, but the hats in Large are sold-out, and they cost $42 before shipping.
