heh, I see Wedge banking on a lot of balls in play:

G. Sizemore
J. Carroll 2b
B. Francisco dh
C. Blake 1b
S. Choo lf
K. Shoppach
A. Marte 3b
F. Gutierrez rf
A. Cabrera ss

Best defensive lineup of the year?

i worry about francisco handling lined foul balls right at him when he’s in the on deck circle as DH

by Brick. on Jul 22, 2008 9:50 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

True….he’s last in the AL in Range Factor for DH’s. Of course, that’s a small sample size.

I get a little nervous about the silt on the bottom of the bottle.

But screw the Miller Lite Man Laws (as if Miller Lite has a say in it), I like an orange in my wheat beer.

Steel Nick

by nickjs21 on Jul 22, 2008 10:24 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

That silt is the healthiest thing in the bottle—nutrients. Filtering removes that stuff.

I don’t drink beer for the nutrients, I’m afraid to say.

I can’t argue you over to my side, it’s a matter of taste. I’ve never enjoyed any dark, high-alcohol beer during the summer.

You, and apparently everyone else, do not have this problem. I really thought it was a generally accepted taste guideline, people I drink with seem to observe it, but LGT is telling me otherwise.

by NickFantana on Jul 22, 2008 10:30 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

by Brick. on Jul 22, 2008 10:35 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

That reminds me of the Cliff Clavin explanation for why they drink cold beer in the winter. Something about its affect on the circulation in the body actually warming you up. Long and rambling….its was Cliff Clavin.

His reason for drinking cold beer in the summer? “What else are you going to do with it?”

I miss Cheers.

by Buckeye Brad on Jul 22, 2008 10:35 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I just can’t get behind this. If it’s cold outside I drink a full bodied beer, if it’s hot I’m drinking lagers at like a tenth of a degree above freezing.

I’m very temperature sensitive i guess.

Don’t get me wrong, I understand that seasonals are seasonals for a reason, and I understand when stouts and wheats and whatnot are meant to be drank. You’re following the proper rules, don’t worry.

But I would also drink red wine with fish. Anarchy, I know. They should lock me up.

All right, now I’m the following the proper rules guy. Not really where I wanted to end up. However, I will say that I’ll drink red wine with anything. So I’m with you on that. 

I'll continue to try and relativize this by appealing to taste again.

I’m about 12 hours late to this conversation, but I’ve been drinking more wine of late (probably a girlfriend thing…also I like wine). I’m more generally a fan of full-bodied, spicy red wines (Shiraz and such), but I’ve had some really nice New Zealand Sav Blancs lately that have been great. Real grassy/bell peppery tastes. Great for the summer.
