It's time to start thinking about the annual SnakePitFest, where we invade Chase Field for a D-backs game, and annoy the hell out of everyone around us, by yelling at the top of our lungs, heckling opposing players and generally behaving like the much-maligned species of "fans". For reasons of cost, this year's event will take place on a Sunday, and tickets will be $15, more or less. Looking at the schedule, there are three dates that stand out in the Juky-August spectrum as possible [once we filter out holiday weekends and Cubs games!]. Here's a poll, for you to indicate any preference you may have, or simply express interest. Feel free to post comments and thoughts as well.
