The God Bless America tradition on Sunday afternoons has run its course imo. Annoying and a downer compared to Take Me Out.

Doesn't help that it's usually some female opera singer. Makes me cringe.

PS The one today from the Red Sox/Brewers game was wretched. My cat ran for the basement.

Mrs Jon and I were at that game. Yes. This needs to end. Do you have any pamphlets you can send?

Well done, Angels. $4.50 for a 16 oz beer at a baseball game? Doesn't get much better than that these days.

The Dodgers also have a fairly low $/oz. How is it that LA has some of the cheapest beer in the league?

Also funny:
Busch: $0.56/oz
Miller: $0.38/oz
Coors: $0.38/oz

The media needs to slow their roll on the Tanaka hype. It's been 3 games!

So, it looks like I'm going to the Giants-Reds game at AT&T Park Friday. I know nothing about the Giants. Give me some names of players you think are worthy of my following. Are they good? Are the Reds?

Reds stink. Giants could be ok. Brandon Belt, Buster Posey, Hunter Pence (if he's still there).

They don't say what kind of beer it is. Maybe it's Miller 64.

Not surprised to see St. Louis near the top - they have very expensive concessions overall. I paid $8 for a beer there (the kind that fills from the bottom!)

"Reds stink" is probably a bit premature; they won 14 more games than the Giants last year and qualified for the Wild Card game, though they're off to a bit of a slow start this year. You should watch Devin Mesoraco, who's absolutely killing the ball so far this year (like, "batting .541" kind of killing the ball) and Billy Hamilton, who stole a zillion bases in the minors (ok, not a zillion, "only" 155 across two levels in 2012 and 75 in AAA last year) and will probably lead the majors in steals too if he can figure out how to get on base.

This is kind of moot because the Giants are playing the Indians on Friday, not the Reds, though.

I wouldn't want to claim I was watching the "Mistake by the Lake" play baseball either.

Pineda ejected for foreign substance on neck.
This is the dude who had what looked like Pine Tar on his hand the last time he faced Boston.
How dumb can this guy be?
