I got like 5 pumpkin beers for Towson vs. Colgate homecoming (Weyer, Blue Point, Southern Tier, Blue Moon, and Buffalo Bill). The best I've had so far is Southern Tier Pumpking - they make the best funky beers IMO. However, if Ithaca Brewery ever blows up like they plan I'm sure I'll be changing my mind. On a side note I can't believe I'm going to a Towson homecoming game relatively sure they will pound their opponent and get ranked the next week.
PJ 20 was so fun to watch...I want to see it again. I think my fave part of the night was walking to James Joyce with Fixer after the show and being offered free drinks twice by this guy who was way drunk and never actually getting them. I can't wait to see the bonus stuff, and I also was a bit sad that they basically sped thru the last 10 years. Maybe they'll come out with PJ22 to make up for it.
those guys were a little off. super friendly, but once the guy told me he spent last year's WS in jail I kinda lost interest in my discussion with him.
you never know what kind of characters you're going to come across at PJ events.

wow...i got caught up with the manager who knew all my old bartenders from Maggie Moore's (RIP 2005-2009), then the dudes who were teachers. Whatevs it was a great night, and like I said didn't end up in bed till 3 in the morning. Needless to say daddy duty on mom's b-day was brutal. As my mother-in-law says "you play you pay".
Went to tonights game :( Hope this funk doesn't continue in the playoffs :?

So, I got the playoff tixx yesterday. The seats are actually decent - 329 for WS Gm 6, 140's (LF) for DS & LCS. Much better than the Section 304 I got for 2009 WS. I think the 300's in RF are the only real bad seats in that stadium.
I got screwed. I got 432 in LDS, 433 in LCS, 205 in WS for game 7.
I prefer LF to RF, but I did OK
NLDS game 2 - 201, row 4 (gonna miss this game as I'll be overseas)
NLCS game 1 - 105, row 8
WS game 7 - 109, row 32 (Game 7 of the WS in philly is the one thing that has a remote shot of equaling being at game 5 of the 2008 WS)

I was up til around then too. didn't want to go to bed after that show. longgg day of work today. was out the door around 9 and just got home from a work event. Have to be out the door tomorrow at 7 for a breakfast meeting . I'm exhausted
i don't drink..but i read cliffy and jearlpam were unhappy with one type of pumpkin beer a few pages back(not enough pumpkin flavor)
Yeah, Dogfish Head. Their beers don't do much for me these days. Sam Caligione is too busy making TV shows. That's why I recommended Weyerbacher.
.
You beat me to it...I think dogfish head is overrated. great, their beers have high alcohol content. that doesn't make them good. I think they are average.
Also, pumpkin beer in general is tremendous. One of my favorite things about fall, which is the best season by far
I got like 5 pumpkin beers for Towson vs. Colgate homecoming (Weyer, Blue Point, Southern Tier, Blue Moon, and Buffalo Bill). The best I've had so far is Southern Tier Pumpking - they make the best funky beers IMO. However, if Ithaca Brewery ever blows up like they plan I'm sure I'll be changing my mind. On a side note I can't believe I'm going to a Towson homecoming game relatively sure they will pound their opponent and get ranked the next week.
Went to tonights game :( Hope this funk doesn't continue in the playoffs :?
even though RBI's don't matter and aren't important we are playing without our 4th and 5th hitter in the lineup. and using minor leaguers out of the bullpen. we are fine. our starting 8 and top 4 pitchers are still the best in the league and it isn't close. besides the guys struggling now won't struggle for 2 months so they are getting it out of their system. rollins and victorino should be hot right around the time the playoffs start. get and/or stay healthy and things are fine. only bad feeling is we are going to kick atlanta's ass again at the end and end up hurting ourselves by giving us a tougher and more annoying 1st round opponent (if it's the cards im gonna put my fist through a wall having to deal with larussa for at least 3 more games)

I haven't had the Southern Tier, but everything from that brewery is awesome. So I'm sure they do a great job with it.
Ithaca.... I could go for some Cascazilla.

Cascazilla is sick, Flower Power was the #2 IPA in the country this year (I think it lost to Green Flash), their annual excelsiors are awesome, and if you're looking for a good holiday shandy mix 1 part nut brown with 1 part apricot wheat and it's like a chocolate covered orange. I'm going to be at Ithaca's Homecoming to present at career day and will come home with a ton of their stuff.
Southern Tier is so good, never had anything I didn't like from them either. I really like Krampus at Christmas, mostly because of the story they give behind the name I think.

that would not be good. would be better to keep playing like shit
even tho I seem to remember the yanks stumbling in and then winning it all a few years back, don't see how you can put a positive spin on getting swept by the nats :?

Yeah, schedule is out, but what I really wanna know is what time the Phils will be playing. I can't wait for game 1. I hope we get a 4-ish start time on that Saturday. That'd be perfect.

Crazy. It's just that in a 5 game series there are only 3 teams in the entire Majors - making the playoffs or not - that I want no part of and that's Detroit, San Fran, and St. Louis.
And I like Orr playing third. I gotta think that it's down between him and Martinez for the final spot on the roster. I'd take Orr in a heartbeat over Martinez. Dude will be primarily a pinch runner and has much better baserunning skills, and gives a tougher at-bat.
What's that you say? What does my playoff roster for the first round look like? I thought you'd never ask.
My 25th guy is Moss because there's no fucking reason to schlepp Herndon onto this roster for the sole reason that he was on the roster all year, or that he's another run. If they're getting to Herndon in a game then they're in trouble. I'm taking Moss because I would rather want Brown, but that looks like it's not happening. And I've not seen a damn thing out of Bowker since he's been here. Moss at least is more athletic, and has a better established Majors career(for what it's worth).
