Off Topic (includes Sunday Stuff) Falls on Central Time Zone Again
I have less than six hours til I get to leave for vacation. I need this time to go by swiftly.
And hey, the Mariners are fun this week. Should we all do a simultaneous dance to AC/DC?
LL is meeting up on Sunday to watch Dickey take on Jackson at 1:10 PM. This is an informal meetup. Get your own tickets people, your own tickets. If you would like, some are meeting by the Budweiser stand near the Center Field entrance (I believe, correct me if I'm wrong) at...top of the second? Third? I need guidance here. I don't know when people can start trying to get seats together.
Everyone wear a nametag. And find a friend. One of you carries Carl Everett on a stick. The other an inflatable plastic dino. Your instructions are here http://www.lookoutlanding.com/2008/8/5/587541/8-5-open-game-thread#7905130
We shall rule the world.

Except it was a question of people being there before the game.
But others can meet there if they’d like.

My expectation is to meet there between the end of batting practice and the start of the game
barring unforeseen circumstance, I’ll be wearing the teal from ‘94.

Do we know anybody who works in a print shop?
Because printing faces like that can get pretty expensive.

What exactly are you trying to get done?
I am a print salesman, but you only have 5 hours to get something done before I am off for the weekend.

How about someone in an office building with free access to color printers/copiers?
Then all you’d need are paint stirring sticks (free from Home Depot!) and a laminator. We did this for my buddy’s bachelor party a few weeks back, everyone had faces of his bride-to-be that we surprised him with.

But before that... we need to discuss last night's final game in the Portland/Seattle USL rivalry
1-0 to the champs! Sounders!
I went to the game and drove home afterwards, so I’m incredibly tired today.
Went to the bitter end before hand and had an entire bar singing unprintable songs to my friends and I.
Timbers Army folks were still pretty cool about it, though. I don’t mind having an entire bar to tell me to fuck off if they do it in style. My friends did have beer thrown on them at the game, which was less cool.

Was gonna go, but my wife got a migraine
so I fed her soup instead. I’m glad Seattle won – I’ve never been able to be a Timbers fan, even though I go to a bunch of games…and, next time, the Matador’s a better bar than the Bitter End.

Huh. I liked the Bitter End - good atmosphere for a game
even if it was all hard-core Timbers folks. Getting told to fuck off was kind of fun, but it really kicks it up a notch when you’re told to fuck off and then a big guy starts up a chainsaw.
Still, I thought the place was OK. What’s the Matador like?

Better, less hippies, not as soccer-y
the less-soccery of which on game night may not be exactly what you’re looking for, but one of the main reasons I don’t ever see myself being a Timbers fan is the douchiness level of the Timbers Army, so I tend to avoid the Bitter End.

Beer time?
Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron is really good. Quite dark for a strong ale.

Green Lakes amber by deschutes
was quite good.
I had this year’s Anderson Valley summer solstice, which was good, but somehow not as good as previous years (unlike their winter ale this year, which was their best one that I’ve had).
Also tried the Abner Weed from Mt. Shasta Brewing, which is maybe a B, B-. Not great, but just kind of unremarkable.
Finally, the Rogue casked ESB ‘Billy’ – all in all, a bit of a let-down. This should’ve been perfect. Smooth as all get-out, and true to style, but I need some bitter in an ESB. As it was, I enjoyed the fact that it was sort of thirst quenching on a hot night, but that’s not really what I was going for in a casked dark ale.

None of actually think RRS is going to be a great starter.
We think he’ll be decent. Jarrod Washburn-like without the contract.

I don't know
After many bad experiences with Washburn, I wouldn’t be too happy is that is all that RRS turns out to be. I do remember Dave comparing him to a reliever version of Washburn last year, so maybe its inevitable.
So if you had to compare to Morrow, who do you think he will turn out to be like, or is there not a big enough SS yet?
