Tom Glavine = New Big Unit
Tom Glavine is pitching like the new Big Unit. I still suspect that the former Atlanta Brave and current Braves spy is going to screw us over come August, but so far, so good from Tommy G.
Last night I went to the Mets game w/ Jeff, Chris, and our favorite... Cracka.
All in all it was a beautiful night for baseball and the Mets beat up on the lowly Pittsburgh Pirates to improve their record to 19-9. Good win for the team heading into the Atlanta series.
It was also a great night to get in some new beers.
Since I had to take the LIRR out to Shea I picked up a bottle of:
140) Blue Point Summer Ale - Nice refreshing beer with a citrus character to it. Drank it right out of the bottle so I don't know how the pour looks.
141) Kona Longboard Lager - At Shea, we stopped by the field level Brewhouse and got a pint of this, which is brewed in Hawaii. Again the draft pints are 25 cents cheaper than the pint bottle of Sudweiser. That's a deal you can't beat, especially when this is a pretty good lager. Actually one of the better ones I have had. If you go to Shea and want to try something other than a Bud, go with the Kona.
142) Redhook ESB - I thought I had this in the past but alas it was not on my list so it is a new beer. Its an average beer and nowhere as good as a Fullers. Redhook seems to be all over the place around here but I don't really think they're a standout brewery.
142 down and 223 to go. Hope everyone gets drunk this weekend. Check back again for my next update!
