Beer threads and Felix
the two LL cure-alls?

FELIX AND WEEKEND ARE GOOD
I was just about to complain about no game thread too
Sunshine and lollipops!
I feel so much better!
And tell me more about this "Speedway Stout" you speak of...
I'm pretty sure I'm not retarded.
I think this is the first day in
awhile that we've actually seen some legit sunshine. An excellent omen of the future.
My woman is going to the game, and I have to say, I'm freakin' jealous as hell!
I'm pretty sure I'm not retarded.
And at the game, she'll see a man far superior to you
like King Felix is to us all =)

What were yours? Oh yeah! Zero!
You didn't even get the free points because you don't know how to spell you name.
Hi guys! If my impersonator doesn't stop, I'll kill him.
how so?
At least under the old test, the worst you could do was a 400. Granted that's because the grading scale was 200-800 (funny how a baseball scout rates 20-80) so they weren't really points for spelling your name right, but still, they were free.
"That's a myth" as
in getting points for spelling one's name is a myth. They are free points, though.
And it only took 3 minutes...

Class of 05 were the last ones to take the old test. Barely scraped past that one we did.

another different lineup for the M's
according to Bakers blog (Condotta filling in), the M's are putting out a lineup of:
Ichiro
Lopez
Ibanez
Beltre
Vidro
Sexson
Wilkerson
Johjima
Betancourt
No idea why they'd move the struggling and no-power hitting Vidro infront of both Sexson and Wilkerson but there you have it.
Midnight Baseball - No Lights - Only in Alaska!
could do L-R
the way it was with Wilkerson and Vidro switched in the order like they had been....
Only thing I can think of why they moved Vidro up is he's 4 for 13 off of Weaver and Wilkerson is 2 for 10.
Should be a rough night for Sexson considering he's 0-9 with 4 k's of lil Weaver.

But seriously, I applaud McLaren for adjusting the lineups early in the season. It's too bad a bunch of these guys aren't hitting.
I should kick Mac's rear end. I'm the mayor of kicking rear end.

Do I have to kick your rear end as well?

In the spirit of delicious beer
I'll be picking up a 6 pack of my favorite summer seasonal on the way home: Kona Brewing Company's Wailua Wheat
Free Barry Bonds
So I just picked up some of this
I vaguely remember someone telling me that its pretty good, any opinions? Just wondering; and I'd try it now but if I start drinking right now, I'll be blacked out by game time (I have no self control)
Absolutely fantastic
pdb is the resident Dead Guy rep, though.

I bought it, but I have yet to try it. And tonight is Mac and Jacks night when I go out later.

Damn fine drink..

The yardhouse is fucking awesome
Pricey, but where else are you gonna find that kind of selection in Arizona?
Exactly. Real good food too
Once ya get over the price.. I used to go to happy hour and it wasn't too bad - 3.50 a pint.. Now I have to live in Tucson though where there is nothing of the sort around.

Theres not much of anything down there
Only visited once or twice, around campus mostly, but I never came away wishing and waiting for my next return
There is a reason I go back up to Phoenix / Tempe more weekends than not
by seattlesundevil on Apr 11, 2008 5:30 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, I'll miss it here I'm sure
Looking forward to moving back up to Seattle though
Delux is also a good spot
However, i believe its more pricey than yardhouse. But the food is better and you have more of a chance to run into some phx suns. Nothing beats the patio at Ztejas at scottsdale fashion square. 1) the margs are fantastic and 2) the talent is AMAZING. I recommend.
by shawnkempsseeds on Apr 11, 2008 5:43 PM PDT up reply actions
Where's Delux?
I obviously don't get out much anymore...
Near 32nd and Camelback, Biltmore area
Inside of the Safeway strip mall where Zen 32 and Gelato Spot are also at. The burgers are delicious and the bar has a surprisingly good selection on tap.

never had a problem getting drinks from them... I usually go to the one on Mill in Tempe tho, just because its closer

there is a pretty good reason why they have that limit. Sneaky bastards really get ya quick.

Thats pretty unfortunate
I have a liquor store right by my house that actually has a really good selection of microbrews, most of them from the NW. I love it.
I decided to start early
just like you said, the Rogue is delicious.
Also, early apologies for any resulting gibberish posts that may (will) come up later.
I know can be smug

Actual Threat
At least until Harden goes on the DL for 3 months
I had, but...
That's not the injury I'm thinking of. He'll come back from this mild irritation before too long, pitch well for a few weeks, then blow his arm out and be done for the season.
Here is our rotation
Cupcakes
Dana Eveland
Gaudin
Greg Smith
Lenny DiNardo
Only one guy on the team will hit 20 HRs.
You be the judge.

Hey guys
Please beat the Angels. Not many opportunities for us to taste first place. Also, fuck the Angels and fuck that troll who pitches for them.

Matt Chico pitches the game of his mediocre life and the Nats still lose 3-0 (2 runs scoring in the 9th after he left).

By the time this series is over I'd like to see the M's and Halos invert their respective records

Now let me get something straight, here...
There's an affinity in this place for Andy Sonnanstine but everyone thinks Jered Weaver is destined for mediocrity? Sonnanstine certainly won't become an ace, as I'm sure everyone here realizes, but I'm not seeing a substantial enough difference between the two for such polar opposite reactions.
Hmm... Needs more Bonds.
Well, duh.
I was hoping for an explanation that was more detailed and less obvious.
Hmm... Needs more Bonds.
Weaver: considered a developing ace
Sonnanstine: considered a nobody
We all think Sonnanstine deserves a better reputation and Weaver a worse one.
by Jeff Sullivan on Apr 11, 2008 7:24 PM PDT up reply actions
Nobody in their right mind thinks Weaver is a developing ace.
And it's clear who's under- and overrated. But I really see little difference between the two and still get a vibe that Sonnanstine is seen as better/ will be better than Weaver.
Hmm... Needs more Bonds.
Lots of people think Weaver's a developing ace
We don't think Sonnanstine is better. We just think he deserves more credit (and Weaver a lot less).
Plus he pitches for the ultimate bandwagon.

according to Joe's tracer
