And I do mean beat his @ss... to the tune of 9 ERs in two WS games. NINE!<br /><br />But before getting there, the G's - and their pitching staff - beat what NL team? That's right... The Pillows. Er, I mean the Phills. ;) Beat Halladay, Hamels and Oswalt - twice (he was brought in at the end of game 4 and took the loss, then started and lost in game 6).<br /><br />We'll see what happens this year, but I still contend that the G's have a better staff top to bottom. Hey, who's your closer this year? That's right. ;)<br /><br />Cheers!Eli the Mad Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11688204623979989120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857441117085449199.post-14154516372388035412011-03-28T19:12:28.784-06:002011-03-28T19:12:28.784-06:00Eli, I really respect your views on beer and the b...Eli, I really respect your views on beer and the beer industry, but baseball is another story.

I am a home brewer and a craft beer lover to boot. I order all of my home brewing supplies out of state, I go on beer runs out of state. I take it that our leaders do not seem to care that my hard earned money does not stay in my home state of Mississippi. The legislature's excuse this year was it was an election year and did not want to put controversial items on the agenda. REALLY? That's their damn job isn't it? <br /><br />Ok, enough of that, I could type for days. Please take a look at <a href="http://www.raiseyourpints.com" rel="nofollow">Raise Your Pints</a>. I am not in leadership in the organization, but I do my best to advocate and tell our story to anyone who has open ears. So any support you guys can throw our way to share our mission of getting good quality beer in our state is always appreciated. <br /><br />So you want to try some Lazy Magnolia? I'll get ya some, so you guys can try it on Taste Buds. My treat.<br /><br />I heard of this event last year and it was too late to purchase tickets. Thank you for bringing this up. You see, I live in the state I didn't even know it was going on. The craft beer culture here in Mississippi is growing, but it's in no way up to par with the surrounding states. <br /><br />Thanks for posting this. Email me and I'll get ya some Lazy Magnolia beers to try.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620433002687079772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857441117085449199.post-3069649725604867032011-02-16T22:06:55.934-07:002011-02-16T22:06:55.934-07:00Hay dude, million thanks for the Brew Like a Monk!...Hay dude, million thanks for the Brew Like a Monk! i was looking for book for days and don't know i didn't find it when searched amazon or Ebay. you made my morning!!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.gadgetgeek.in/" rel="nofollow">Gadgets</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857441117085449199.post-47977158666972192892011-01-20T10:25:02.914-07:002011-01-20T10:25:02.914-07:00No doubt that beer goes back that far.
