QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 11:09 AM) There's no way to not be terrified Unless yr just looking towards 2010 with Beckham/Peavy for a full year. And Rios...at least we won't be constantly wondering about who's going to play CF.

Hell, yeah I'm scared of the next 20 games. But, I'm sure Tiger fans feel the same way. Both teams have been trying to give the other team the division and so one wants it. I think, however, that the next 10 games may tell the tale. If the Sox man up against Boston, NY, and MN, and the Tigers continue to play the way they have been, the division should belong to the Sox.

Sam Adams sells a four-pack of glasses that are designed to get the most flavor out of a beer. The shape allows the brew to breath not be warmed by your hand. There are also etchings on the bottom to create a constant stream of bubbles. I was skeptical until my dad bought me the glasses. They actually work.

35% German, 30% Irish, and some Polish, Welsh, and Dutch My wife is mostly Italian with some German and Irish. So, our kids have bad tempers and talk with their hands.

The Sox have played tough teams fairly well...in spurts. This road trip will probably be no exception. I would like to think they could go 7-3 or better, but I chose 6-4. If the road trip ends with the Sox 2 games or less out of first, it'll be good.

We'll only be on BBTN first if Boston wins.

I manage a production line that makes paper towels. We make paper products for private label (store brands).

I think some of the funniest moments were with Curly, but I found Shemp to be one of my favorites. Interesting fact was that he was one of the originals, along with Moe and Larry. He left to do some solo stuff but eventually came back when Curly's health started failing. Curly's life was pretty sad, reading about it. He was very self-conscious about his appearance, his shaved head and baby-face looks being perfect for the Stooges. He began drinking heavily, was married and divorced several times, and started suffering a series of strokes.

Numbers?

So, I was bored recently and did a lot of reading on-line about the Three Stooges. Actually learned a lot I didn't know. So, who's your favorite stooge? Who is your least favorite? Have any trivia nuggest about the Stooges?

Pants?

It was at least a turn in the road. Let's hope it's a turn in the right direction.

Now I don't feel too old. My daughter starts 3rd grade, my sons starts 1st, and my youngest daughter starts pre-school.

Laughing, the thread said, "I'm going nowhere."

Jesus was married...to a woman named Emma?

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 20, 2009 -> 06:43 AM) Sam's Oktober and Winter lagers are always solid. Sad to see they are still trotting out the putrid cherry wheat though. Has it improved any? Out of all the special releases and seasonals they do/did, that one and their cranberry lambic were the most unpalatable I think. Also regarding Sam, are there any fans of the Old Fezziwig Christmas ale? It's been years since I've had it since they only seem to include it in the holiday 12-packs and it usually includes cr@p like the cranberry lambic. I used to be able to find an occasional bomber, but haven't in a long time. I have a feeling it would be good not great if I had it now, now that there are so many excellent winter beers available. I don't mind the Cherry Wheat. It's not one of my favorites, but it's okay for one at a time. I do agree that the Cranberry Lambic is not good. As far as the Old Fezziwig, I'm a huge fan. Love the spices. I know it was in the winter pack last year, but I don't think I've ever seen it by itself. I wish Sam Adams would package a 12-pack of the Winter Lager, Holiday Porter, Cream Stout, and Old Fezziwig. Leave out the lambic and Boston Lager (you can get that by itself easily).

I have to agree that fall is probably the best season for beer. I love the Octoberfests and darker beers. Sam Adams already has a Harvest Mix out with Octoberfest, Brown Ale, Cherry Wheat, and Dunkelweizen.

Very sad that you talk to yourself.

Only the thought of kielbasa and beer can make us stop worrying about the Sox.

Jose will man up and be more effective than he has been, but will still walk a few. He'll be done after 6. Bullpen will step in and do their thing...the good thing that is. The offense will touch up Greinke a bit. Sox win a close one 4-3.

Not necessarily a city, but I lived for about 5 years on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. My parents still live there, so we try to go out once a year. The summers are very nice with bright sunshine, hot weather, and awesome beaches. The only drawback is the crowds at times. September is one of the nicest months to visit as it is still warm, the ocean is quite swimmable, the fishing is great, and the crowds are quite thinned out.

Hoping the Tigers struggle and the Sox start winning a lot is what we are doing right now.

What are some of your favorite cities to visit in the U.S.? What makes them special for you? Would you recommend others to visit? My family and I recently took a trip down to St. Louis. It was our first visit there, and it is definitely one of my favorite cities now. There is a lot to do for everyone...my three kids had a wonderful time and have not stopped talking about it. Aside from the Arch (which is pretty cool), there's Grant's Farm, the City Museum, and the new CityGarden downtown. There's a lot more that we didn't get to do and will be going back for sure. Busch Stadium is a beautiful downtown baseball park, and the downtown area springs to life on game nights.
