Jurrjens dealing today.. I hope there's a little bit of advance notice when he comes back. I'd love to be there.
 
In all honesty, I'm just jealous. I wanna be in a pub. :(

A Pub? Why would I want to do that when I can sit here and watch the game intermittently between refereeing impromptu wrestling matches between my sons and one of them sneaking the remote and switching to Cartoon Network?

I have conniving girls.
 
I think Livan is in the perfect role. Come in, eat a couple of innings and be serviceable. Even if his arm falls off in mid July, he'll have served his purpose.
 
I am just joking with the guy. The braves are up by 40 runs and he's in an unhappy pub. I just found that miserably humorous.

The only negative takeaway I have from a great series are A) more stupid moves by Fredi, but we already knew he was an idiot, and B) either Beachy or Fredi or both didn't protect the hitters by throwing at some Rockies. Everything else was great.

I agree. The avalanche of runs is masking the absolutely idiotic moves that Fredi makes. Managers typically have little to do with game outcomes, but the moves that Fredi has made of late they could prove costly in one and two-run ballgames.

We go to the pub on Sundays precisely because it's a great time to take the kids. They get chocolate milk; my boy gets to help wash dishes and stuff behind the bar; everybody's happy.
 
I don't think there's a way humanly possible to analyze baseball on the internet without sounding miserable. The game is one giant second guess.

Yep, and hindsight is always 20/20. I take it we still lead the league in runs scored? This team had me fooled after the 0-4 start. Really love watching this team do everything, except play defense.
 
You make your kids tend bar? That sounds like free drinks all around.

Kid pours a great pint of Guinness. He thinks he's doing an apprenticeship. We live in dark economic times; who am I to stand in the way of a future career in a recession-proof industry? (He's seven, btw.)

The other thing that makes me reflexively negative is Joe Johnson. I really shouldn't even watch.

I screwed myself with Guinness as I had one in Dublin many years ago. Now all Guinness just tastes kinda bland. heh

Yeah, I am watching the Hawks/Celtics game for some reason. I suppose since nothing else is really on. Painful to watch him dribble around and either throw it away with a bad pass or throw it away by taking a 22' fading jumper.
 
Guinness has made great strides in improving the draft systems over here. I say this as somebody who has been to Ireland several times and takes Guinness seriously enough to keep it on draft on his house. The average pint in North Ameica isn't all the way as good as it is in Dublin, obviously, but it isn't horrible in comparison like it used to be. In a place that takes it seriously and does it right, I'd say it's 90-95 percent of the way there. Sometimes you get a magical keg and it's basically the same incandescent stuff.

All I heard was party at your house next braves games I attend.
