The Great American Lager!

Budweiser was one of the primary sponsors of the MLB All Star Game. I find it ironic that their tag line was "The Great American Lager!" in their commercials right after it was announced that InBev, a Belgian company, is going to purchase Anheuser Busch. Sam Adams is actually the largest domestic brewer in America now which is okay because I actually prefer the fuller bodied beers like Sam Adams.

All Star Game

The 2008 all star game had to have been the longest game that I have ever sat and watched. It was good though, in extra innings both teams had several opportunities to score. Five hours of baseball can be a bit painful. It was nice to have a few beers and sit and relax for a bit. It was too bad that a member of the Red Sox won the MVP, I think he won by default because one of his hits squeeked over the wall. Of course all of the Yankees (A-Rod, Jeter) position players were done by the fifth inning. I have to admit I lost interest a bit after they sat down. Well, congratulations to the American League, thankfully the Yankees will have home field advantage in the World Series again ;)

Saturday Night Baseball

So Saturday night Hollie and I went to the Bees game. We got there at about 6:45 p.m., the game was supposed to start at 7:05 p.m. Turns out there was a double header that night, and it was a fireworks night so it was a little crowded. We purchased our tickets, bought a few beers, then went to our seets, they were on the top row. We caught the last inning and a half of the first game wich the Bees lost to the Las Vegas 51's(lame name I think) 3-0. The Bees managed to come from behind to win the second game 6-4. Then we waited a few minutes while the people in left field moved down to the field to watch the fireworks. After the fireworks started (about 10:00 p.m.) I realized that that was the perfect night... beer, baseball, and fireworks what more do you need?
