6/3/2008 - Random thoughts;

Beer:

Great Beers at the home brew competition.
I can't wait until our 12 new taps are working.
what about AB being bought?

Sports:

I enjoyed the UEFA soccer game broadcast from Russia. But, Penalty kicks seem to be a not so great way to end a game of this magnitude. It's like ending the super bowl with a field goal kick off.
Is anything less exciting than the MLB draft? I still love baseball, but..... well... if the bucks can just get over 500 and keep a solid grip on the middle of the division. Wishing for mediocrity.


Hockey Hockey Hockey.
Did I mention that I thought that Marian Hossa trade was a great trade right from the start?
Ryan Malone is one tough dude.
I'll be proudly wearing my #17 shirt Wednesday night.
I still think it's over. (hey, i don't get paid to make predictions and i'll be happy to be wrong).
To win 3 in a row against any team is difficult, at best, if you're playing well. Not such good odds.
That said, If you're looking for some sign of hope, 4 of 5 is what the Pens have done to a couple of pretty good teams in previous rounds. And 3 ot's can take a lot out of an old team. Hell, it took a lot out of me.

Politics:
It's funny we have more politicians than Pittsburghers ripping West Virginia.
Who do you like for president?
I just don't care any more. I think this might be the first time since my first (1972) that I will miss a presidential election. Unless something drastic happens.
Who needs a TV when the networks are getting their info from YouTube?
Don't you wonder what else is lurking out there?
