No matter how good you are if you get the ball up their going to hurt you. I'm not sure if it's lack of concentration, too much trust in the catchers location, or just plain arrogance on his part but he has been touched up more HRs this year than last. Then again it could be our notoriously bad scouting reports. During this 4 game set with LA take notice if they keep away from Ramirez hitting zones. Myers handled him out there and if their smart they'll watch the tapes and pitch him accordingly. He's a very aggressive hitter which can be used against him. If we split with LA it’ll be lucky.

Honestly I don't drink much anymore. As a single dad with three kids under 13, I don't have much time to enliven. And at my advanced age, over 50, I don't feel like dealing with the day after effects. But for all you young guys, have one for me. I was only joking. Honestly I don’t drink much anymore.

Alcohol is alcohol, whether it taste good or not is a personal decision I guess. Twisted Tea has the same amount of alcohol as most beers. You sound like a Budweiser guy.

I'm a big Yuengling fan, but I've been buying Lions Head for the good beer at house parties, its so nice and affordable. My top chilling outside in the sun beers would be Sam Adams Summer Ale, Coronas, Beck's light. I like twisted tea to, although it gives me the shits.

By the third or fourth game of pong the girls would be gone after playing with their spiked teas. Good times..

They have a couple beers that are exceptional, one is Winter Solstice (seasonal) but the other I really like is called Oatmeal Stout. Their IPA is also bombass as well as the Boont Amber Ale.

It's been bad karma w/ him having to pitch AND play offense... There's no normal rationale to this, but it's been the trend for some reason. However, please tell me kendrick is not on the roster.... Still feel Happ should get the nod.
