What beer?

https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/20681/68916/  Lunch, by Maine Beer Company.  Have had a few of their others that I'm not in love with.  Haven't had Dinner, though.  As an aside, favorite brewery is North Fork Brewing Company.

Craft Beer for the Win: The States with the Most Breweries – Zippia

We have the most breweries but only 28th? This state has work to do 

Interesting list.  My favorite beer happens to come from Maine, but didn't know the entire state was into it per capita like that.

Rendon sucks

For never getting a hit, he's had some pretty big ones. 

Just now, Lou said:

Or it's possible that you're a failure and couldn't make it here.

I'm sure the libs ruined that for him, too.

Any urban area in the country has high cost for living.  Even Boise is expensive as fuck. 

I was going to say something along these lines when people kept talking about the glorious 90s, as if CA is the only place in the country where your $ doesn't go as far as it used to.

I just find it strange that he won't answer.

Ftr, I'm not one of those who absolutely loves California. We have a lot of problems here. My main issue is financial. I'm not really bothered by any of the other issues. 

As someone who was about like 4th or 5th generation Orange County and went to UCLA, but who has since lived in Chicago (grad school) and now NYC, California does have its flaws that I wouldn't have known if I hadn't lived other places.  That said, I can't wait to come back (will just be a while [edit: for reasons*] that have nothing to do with wanting or not wanting to be there).

Would have been better if you would have asked "how many balls..." 

I was more interested in the potential experience with concussions than other potential implications you might be suggesting.

Getting a ball to the mask is loud and kinda shocks you but I don't get the falling down. Like, if the ump can't take it maybe he shouldn't be back there?

How much experience do you have with strikes to the head?

Where the heart is.

You could have also gone with something like... "one more left turn after 3rd base"

Because so many people want to live here! If this place was a toilet like you describe, why are there too many people with so much traffic? I will just probably never own a house. That's fine with me for now.  In my experience, people that hate California or talk bad about it are just jealous that they don't live there or don't explain why they hate it. There are certainly cons for living here like anywhere else but the PROS BLOW away any other place I've ever been to or even have read about. If I ever did move out of the state for whatever reason, I would try to get back ASAP.

 Nobody goes there anymore.  It's too crowded.

SandoFAIL

I agree.

Living in California is horseshit.

If you grew up there in 80's, 90's, even early 2000's you realize the coast isn't worth it anymore, and even recently, you don't miss the bum camps or liberals. 

So you moved to Detroit?  

My bad if you just happen to go to double headers there.

If Sandoval gets out of this inning with fewer pitches thrown than Montas it’ll be pretty funny. 

HAHAHAHHAHAHAAH

I think that’s twice this week Velazquez didn’t throw home when he had some time to cut down the runner. 

Pretty optimistic to think he gets him at home, imho. 

Velazquez is good at defense.  Water is wet.

Astros up 5-0 against a good Twins team. Bummer

Would be a real shame if we jinxed the no-no going on right now.  

Didn't realize both Stassi and Suzuki were on the Covid-IL.

Surprised they didn't look at that. I think Maddon was right and it hit off the wall above the line.

He was right, and while the umps could have looked independently, the union didn't negotiate overtime pay and they're getting sleepy.

Idiot fans

Pretty sure it would have been a ground rule double anyway, but I unironically agree because I'm not absolutely sure.

Poor kid. From UCI and his family and friends are there to watch him. 

Bummer.  On the bright side, at least they're local and didn't have to waste the vacation budget.

You got to feel back for this pitcher. Major league debut, he loads the bases for Trout.

Welcome to the show, kid.

He might want to try throwing more strikes at some point.  But if he doesn't that's okay too. 

Never mind.  Strikes were a bad idea for him.  BOOM!
