Never blessed with great command, Liriano's velocity has dropped, he stopped getting groundballs, and his contact rate is shooting up towards the league average. I don't much care if he's only 25 years old - at this point, he's just a guy, and no matter who tries to tell you otherwise, the magic is gone. That can't be an easy pill for Twins fans to swallow, so hopefully they're able to get a little comfort from the shutout he's about to pitch. Mariners baseball!

I have a question....

Why the hell is Sweeney batting cleanup?

Please be good Felix

by Brian Floyd on Jun 5, 2009 6:18 PM PDT reply actions  

You would've thought a few years ago

That this pitching matchup would’ve made headlines as two Cy Young contenders battling it out. Now you have just a meh guy that might be able to fleece a team as badly as Carlos Silva did a few years from now, and someone who still only flashes brilliance.

I find Corona unberable with out lime

I know many on here are not fans but on a hot day it’s one of my favorite beers. I prefer a Pacifico if given the choice but Corona is on sale more often, so there’s that.

I always enjoyed my PBR drinking days

I feel it helped me appreciate what good beer really was. I know people that still swear by it. There was a revival of tall-boys being served in bars but I think that was more for ironic effect. At least I hope so.

No, PBR made a hipster push and cheap beer will always sell.

It seems like Rainier has sort of pushed their way into the cheap tallboy market which is awesome because Rainier is delicious.

You and your "facts" take the fun out of everything

Now I have to face the concept that the trade off of drinking cheap beer is close to nil. I was happy in my ignorance. Thinking I was getting thoroughly tanked for cheap and believing RBI were a good measure of a ball player was just fine. Cold facts have made my world a bleak place.

No worries

I’m just admitting that compared to the posters here I am not a big beer drinker. I didn’t try a beer until a year ago and I don’t think I’ve ever had more than maybe 3 in one night.

Alcohol in general just isn’t pleasant tasting to me most of the time. I’ve got 0 against people who drink responsibly however.

Also, the vast majority of my time being 21 has been spent in Ellensburg,

and there’s one place in the whole city that has some interesting beers, but it’s always packed full of douchebags that I definitely do not want to be around.

Is the Blue Grouse still alive?

My family made a habit of stopping there for food (a tradition I guess) whenever we were driving through the middle of the state. In retrospect, that place kind of sucked.

by abender20 on Jun 5, 2009 7:16 PM PDT up reply actions  

I don't think so,

I haven’t heard the name in the 4 years I’ve been here. Wing Central has a beer 101 where you try to drink all 101 beers and you get a little thing saying that you accomplished it, and there are a handful (maybe 15?) of really good quality beers, and the rest are pretty much slight variations on the same thing. They also have a “bombshot 51” where they have 51 different types of bombshots. It’s an OK place but it’s always packed and there are always people there I don’t care to be anywhere near.

Speaking of E'burg

Valley Cafe, Yellow Church cafe or The Tav?

by msb on Jun 5, 2009 7:19 PM PDT up reply actions  

Well it depends.

If you want to go have dinner, I would definitely recommend Yellow Church Cafe. They have an interesting menu and always some pretty good dinner specials. Slightly expensive, but the portions are big and the food really is delicious. Their apple BBQ sauce is amazing. The Tav is a place to go get a burger and fries and watch the game/fight/whatever, play pool, and have a few beers. Valley Cafe is similar to Yellow Church but not as good in my opinion.

by Zwakamatsu on Jun 5, 2009 7:24 PM PDT up reply actions  

I've found that it's a taste I just haven't acquired yet.

I can appreciate the characteristics, but I just don’t yet love them

It takes 10 times to taste something before you like the taste.

I mean, most people will probably admit they hated the taste of beer when first tasting it.

Surfaces have different friction

Therefore, it would slow you down a hell of a lot more on a surface like a track.

In baseball, you have to touch the bag. It’s different objectives.

by Matthew on Jun 5, 2009 7:57 PM PDT up reply actions  

But they wouldn't be sliding through it

They would be diving through the line. Any surface is going to slow down your forward speed, even dirt. So the only way diving/sliding would be faster is if the act of diving increases your forward speed enough to compensate for any amount of time you’re sliding.

Instead they just duck their heads.

Yeah, I suppose if you're a good slider
