Your Gameday Beer
With two pudgy guys on the hill tonight, I’m recommending Guinness. Good, old fashioned Guinness. It’s a tasty beer, for sure, and won’t kill ya. But make sure, if you have one, to pour it into a stout glass. It’s the only way to drink one. As a note: I’ll be sitting in section 303 for this one. Here’s hoping Brett does his thing against Milwaukee, and our boys can get a hit (or run) or two against CC.
Go Phillies!
