Replied to you in the old thread.

I love Imperial stouts! Brooklyn has one that is a double chocolate....

That's a great beer, but
it is a bit strong. You into the Belgian beers? Chimay, Duvel, etc.
"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
never had a belgian.... I hear a lot of good things about them over on BA
"My favorite umpire is a dead one."
-Johnny Evers
They can be really, really good.
But you’ve got to like hoppy styles and most have a bit of coriander, as well. Try Duvel for the lighter style and Chimay Cinq Cents for the darker style. Both are great beers.
"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
doesn't chimay produce
a dark smoky barley wine?
I believe so, but it'd be hard to come by in the states.
"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
if they did,
I’ve sampled a bottle. One of our local tavern’s special ordered a case. Worst hangover I ever had. Was a nice smoky flavor though.
I've had a couple nice smoked porters recently.....
"My favorite umpire is a dead one."
-Johnny Evers
As a scotch lover,
I am bullish on smoky beers

'Tis true!
"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
Thanks! I'll try and find it.
there’s a wine store we got to that stocks a few select beers that may have it.

arcadia scotch ale

OMG.
That sounds awesome.
If you’re into IPA’s, try the Lagunitas. Outstanding.

if you want a great sweet stout
with a meal, try Mackeson’s

Oh, Lord.
My beer budget is growing by the moment.

Dogfish Head brews. Their stuff is incredible.
"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07

Chimay is always a rough hangover.
it’s a completely unfiltered ale, so it can be rough the next day!
"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
yes it was.
Looking at Chimay’s website, it was a bottle of Chimay’s Grande Reserve
Yeah, that's the "low end" of their ales.
And it’s still pretty damn good. Try the Cinq Cents.

Some people panicked yesterday after the loss that this team may be reverting to their impatient ways, lol.
Anyone listen to mlb radio on their mobile phone?
I just noticed that they charge you $4.99 per month even if you have a subscription on your pc? Seems like a ripoff…..
Well
Most of that money they probably have to give to your mobile provider, who has to carry the extra traffic. With the Internet to your PC, MLB doesn’t have to share the revenue with anyone since it uses the public internet.

I got a question about catcher stats

by Madison Cub Fan on Jun 25, 2008 7:25 PM CDT reply actions
I was looking @ Geo's stats. He is 2nd in NL
but I don’t understand what fielding percentage is exactly. he’s @ .996
"We have a pretty strong belief that we are going to win those types of games. It's our confidence. "--Cubs pitcher Ted Lilly
by Madison Cub Fan on Jun 25, 2008 7:27 PM CDT up reply actions
It's depending on passed balls I believe
Passed balls is what cost the fielding percentage of the pitcher to decline.
catcher stats...
have nothing to do with passed balls. Fielding percentage is putouts and assists divided by total chances (putouts, assists and errors)
In the middle of a good time, Truth gave me her icy kiss. Look around, you must be joking. All that way, all that way for this -Oysterband
ok... looking @ geo's stats
I see how then he is 2nd.

Dave Cronon, who later became dean of Letters & Science was my Ph.D. advisor. His son, Bill Cronon, is currently a member of History Dept. John Cooper, who is still with the Dept., was another prof. I worked closely with.

i meant as a pitcher to go 0-5, b/c it meant you pitched deep into a game and your offense did enough to get the 9 spot up 5 times

RJ
I know he’s on the DL, but how bad is the injury? more or less to make room for Ward coming back for Interleague or deserving of the DL?
sorry if this was covered earlier, been a long week working and couldnt find any good updates
they're saying just muscle spasms
but since he has a history of back issues they DL’d him to not rush it and give the roster spot back
by halfblindcubbiegirl on Jun 25, 2008 7:42 PM CDT up reply actions
His back is just stiff
but the stupidity that led him to bunt with 2 outs in the ninth and subsequently, and unnecessarily run into the fist baseman will never heal.

Fote - NOT...oh well, 4 run lead is back thanks to Geo!
Danged Directv and the whole rain interfering with the signal…come on guys, this is the 21st century!!!
what are the chances
of any moves being made, or since Dome is day-to-day, Johnson out, etc the bench will all stay??
Slim, IMO.
Patterson and Ward were the moves.

Just a little tightness in the calf.

Yesterday's game
I think we’ll benefit tonight, and tomorrow as well, by the O’s having had to go to their pen last night when it at first looked like blowout.

Exactly. They’ll be forced to enjoy the taste of bullpen stew as we’ve been forced to on many occasions this year.

I hate Brian Roberts.

Royally.

he showed some pretty impressive
range on DLee’s single. The guy does have game.
But I will be happy to see him leave town.
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
I hate him too.
But I wouldn’t mind having him on my team.

yeah, if he was hittin like that for the cubs I'd be cheering him on

Ted doesn't play that game.

and every time he's even thought about he's gotten tossed
by a mind reading umpire

Did you see the ump last night...
bump into Jerry Manuel? What a tool.
"Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball." - Jacque Barzun
That was disgraceful. MLB should suspend Runge.

Manuel and Beltran both seem like laid back type. Runge totally baited them.

Wow. cool.
Although I disagree with the radio dude this morning who was saying if they won it would be the “biggest upset in sports history”
These are the saddest of possible words: "Tinker to Evers to Chance"
well it would be a huge upset in terms of seeding
because they’re teh equivelant of a 15 seed in the March Basketball Tourney making it to the final game. But since they’ll have won a best of 3 series I don’t buy an “upset” in that way.
by halfblindcubbiegirl on Jun 25, 2008 8:14 PM CDT up reply actions
Sure. I agree with that.
I also don’t know enough about how diverse talent/resources are in college ball to know for sure…but like bigger than the Miracle on Ice or something? No way.

Lowest seed in NCAA history to win a championship
in any sport. Some women’s softball team was a low seed too, but they were years ago.

Course theirs still a lot of game left
only Bot 7

This is a tough ump for Lilly
He can’t get the high strike and he can’t get the inside corner on the lefties.
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
his zone is odd....
"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
the only thing consistent
about it is the inconsistency. But Lilly is not getting anything high. He seems to like to throw high strikes. Too bad. He (Ted) is a big boy, he will adjust.
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
None of the three "strikes"
he called on Fontenot’s 1st AB were strikes, according to Gameday.

Am I the only one
who is wondering why Markasis is batting 2nd instead of 3rd and Mora is in the middle of the order?

This thread is becoming uselessly slow.
When does the overflow post?

Good job, Fonty!
Let’s get that last one without them scoring.

O's SP
Does anyone know why he got taken out?
