ROY and arguably at least CO-MVP and that was only worth $20,000? Seems wrong to me. Hope his agent is getting him a ton for his endorsements, there will be more of them coming.

Come...ON. This should have a dozen "likes" by now, and be racked in the archives for post of the year. But no. It kills the thread. And I was really liken' this place.

Jimmy Jack makes my hair stand up. Sorry.

Some winning will do wonders for this board. Fans are understandably upset over last season, and 3 years without playoffs. I have my doubts about Scioscia and his staff (Butcher) but hey, it is a new year, a better team, with new bats and new pitching, and I am stoked about the talent going into the season. This looks like a group that could come together, a group of MEN. If they come together and play the damn game, the right way, Scioscia and Butcher, and Eppard, will be in the background where they belong. Instead of being responsible for failure, a coaching staff should be quiet helpers towards success. The players can take a lot of heat off Scioscia and of the whole organization, by going out and winning ballgames.

I think In N Out is by far.. the best fast food.

My GF at the time looked at me softly and asked if I was going to be OK. I assured her that the game was far from over, they had come back all season long.. and they were going to come back again. We had a room at the Doubletree for that night, and tickets for game 7. Broke the bank that post season, but it was before 08 and the economy was much more rosy. Don't ever regret spending a penny of it.

All these clever names. I drink beers with numbers. I have some 63 (A)'s. tonight. 63 being the batch# and the (A) designates we did more than one bottling, this being the first. Without going into needless detail, it is an English Ale...the yeast came from Fullers (UK) and they use it in a few ales they make. It was bottled around Thanksgiving. Purists drink this style ale at room temp. I still like mine a little chilled. Cheers!

I pretty much only stream, and then mostly from European sites. But oh my, sure sounds scary.... What happens after I get six warnings? Here's the crazy part — under this program — nothing. Nothing happens at all. Jill Lesser, executive director of the CCI, said in an interview earlier this month that, after you receive six alerts, you won't receive anymore: We hope that by the time people get to alerts number five or six, they will stop. Once they've been mitigated, they've received several alerts, we're just not gonna send them any more alerts because they're not the kind of customer that we're going to reach with this program.

I predict that one will reappear here during the season. Not that I saved it or anything.

Probably brewed on the mainland now. Don't remember it being anything much. Cool cans, tho

Lower View MVP... I was real emotional about it, and once it set in, I sat and cried for a while. Still don't have real clear memories of any of the ceremony. I remember a lot more about game 6,...or the Kennedy Game vs the Twins. Went to every game after the Yankee series The park was electric throughout the playoffs that year, but just pulling into the parking lot for the World Series felt different. It WAS different. The press and media trucks, the helicopters, the OC Sheriff mounted posse. After almost 50 years of playing baseball, watching baseball, reading baseball, and going to major league baseball games... I was at the World Series. I don't think that there is any way of describing what it is like, and what it means, to someone that waited as long as I did.

Wrist Rocket. We have Foxes and Raccoons that like to fight and get in the trash (any cats where I live don't usually last long if they go out at night) I put about 30 bb's in a balloon. They get the message, and I don't worry about shooting something I don't want to.

Wells is playing every day in ST...Nobody else is being played as mush as he is. They are shopping him big time, and probably at 90% off. I think his days are numbered.

Wells is playing every day. Think maybe they are trying to get someone to bite??? Wonder what his price tag is down to. 90% Off??

Canonita San Jose del Cabo

Just not.... all that hot.

Thanks for posting that article. Got a kick out of one of the comments.. The Robertson family is one of the best shows on TV since The Andy Griffith show, as far as morals and scruples go, something today's generation could use a lot more of. Most of today's generation that is. Not everybody wears their pants down around their knees and their caps on sideways.

Is the Phoenix Club still there? The place right across the river from the Big A...right? That was a great place. Had a rep as being a little more "German" than just the quaintness factor, though. Like a private club for the older, post WW2, German sect to hang out.

(Wanted to try Primo simply because it's made by Pabst, but it was sold out) PRIMO??? If it is the Primo I know of, it was once the only brew produced in Hawaii. Basically the equivalent of Pabst Blue Ribbon, but made in Hawaii. Back in the day...( I sound like the old man in pawn stars)..if you wanted beer you could afford in the islands (BUD was a rare and costly delicacy) Primo was your only choice.

So many good beers available out there these days, it does my heart good to see the trend growing. My Homebrewing hobby evolved into a small business selling brew supplies. About a year ago we started malting, kilning, and roasting our own grain. Buying 50 lb bags of feed (and then seed) barley...perfecting the process in small batches. We have just secured funding to go big time, and within the next few months we will be pouring the slab under what will be the first (solar powered) custom malting operation in California. Producing specialty malted grains for the home brewer. I encourage everyone out there that loves good beer, to try their hand at making their own. It really isn't that hard to make really good beer. A Saturday afternoon in the garage with the Angel game on and a pot of sweet smelling grain and hops boiling can easily reduce the cost of those 5 to 10 dollar pints of craft beer... to well under a dollar using malt extract, and mere cents if you go to all grain brewing..(and that includes all your equipment) Malting our own grain, our final cost per pint is now down to 18 cents ( we keep very detailed records) and we use the most expensive ingredients (specialty hops and imported yeasts) out there. Think about this....Over 80% of the money you hand the clerk for the beer you buy at the store is tax. Not ingredients, not production, not shipping...TAX. It goes right to the government. Be patriotic. Take back your right as an American. Screw the man. Make beer.

Right^ Unless you know the specific gravity of the wort before fermentation, simple tests like hydrometer or refractometer wont tell you anything.

I am pretty much Jase..... My grey is a little bearder, but odder dan dat...

Women with whiskers...It's a bummer

Every time I trim my beard, I feel a twinge of guilt
