What an outing -- so awesome.

Ain’t baseball great? I was very happy for the Brewers, too — Captain Cheeseburger has been fucking amazing and Braun’s homer was real cool.

Also…. I guess that Detroit gets The Balls tomorrow, right?

April/May Buehrle

While Buerhle was running through April and May to a 2-6 record, I remember thinking that if he was going to be our biggest problem among starters, we would be in good shape.

Of course, during that same time, the idea that the bullpen was going to hit the wall was a pretty fantastic one.

ESPN2 @1:05 as well

Hope that doesn’t interfere with WGN….

Will Hawk and DJ be able to do this game???

I assume the duo can’t do the twins game. Is this correct???

I've already tried

But it don’t seem like a single soul knows anything about the Twins game (If needed)

Poor Mets

3 years in a row they’ve had an awful home loss to end their season. I think they have a big post-game ceremony scheduled with old players. It’ll be a funeral.

Hope the Brewers do some damage. 26 years is a long time.

Sorry, but any NY team gets this response:

BWAHAHAHAHA!

(Wait, one of my playoff ticket connects is a Mets fan. Hope he still comes through.)

Austin City Lights Live Webcast

here

Neko Case is playing now until 6:30. Then it’s Okkervil River until 7:30. Sound quality is pretty solid. Figured there might be someone on here interested, considering both have come up before in a few of discussions. Besides, it turns out SSS is an indie kid hangout.

you probably aren't going to have a ton of time before the game to do much

so i’d bring/buy tailgating items if you’re going to be somewhat early and if not, then find a spot and get going. the bands get on the field about 20-30 min before. getting to the stadium: find a spot somewhere and start walking. try to stay northeast of the stadium so you can walk down state to hoover just for the experience of seeing the throngs of people in maize getting tanked and having a blast. by the time you get to state and hoover you’re 15 minutes from the stadium and probably 20 from your seat. finding seats is easy, as the big house is just a giant bowl. the sections are numbered clockwise, fwiw.

after the game, i’m guessing you’re looking for a beer and a meal, regardless of outcome. if you like good beer and a huge selection on draft, ashley’s is great (it’s on state, so just walk back north the way you came down). there are two solid local breweries, one is arbor brewing company and the other is grizzly peak. the latter has a bar that serves food and has tvs, the former does not but the food and beer is somewhat better. if you’re looking to stay away from college football for a bit after a tough loss (here’s hoping), ABC is the way to go. it’s more hipstery than fratty, basically. if you want a top notch meal for steep fare, my dad always goes to the earle. went there yesterday for my birthday, actually, and had one of the better meals i’ve had in a while. a lot of ann arbor restaurants are expensive and they don’t make up for it in taste (see: pretty much everything on main street). but there are a lot of good options elsewhere.

oh: i’d be remiss to not mention zingerman’s. most expensive and best tasting sandwiches money can buy in ann arbor. it’s worth it if you ask me. as for breakfast, i’d check out afternoon delight. nothing fancy, just a solid breakfast joint. angelo’s is more famous, but more crowded and the food is comparable in taste but slightly more expensive. not that angelo’s is actually expensive or bad, just not the best in my opinion. um…that’s it for food and drink. if you’ve got any other intentions, let me know.

oh:

in the very least, don’t miss the michigan band. our opening band + team entrance is really awesome and makes for quite the spectacle. if you’ve only been to like northwestern and illinois type games, this will put it to shame (no offense).

I’m just not into that Wilco, Of Montrealish type of shit. Relax.

I never said I don’t like Hipstery people, I have a bunch of friends that are into that shit but I think the music blows. I’m mainly into HIp Hop and Electronic shit, always have been.. so sue me.

Just caught the last song “John the Baptist.” I loves me some Neko; saw her a few years ago in a small club here in Minneapolis and it was fantastic.

by beeramid on Sep 28, 2008 5:25 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

she's frickin great

i’ve seen her with the new pornos, but never by herself…yet. okkervil river is also very good in my opinion and they do a solid live show. saw them, coincidentally, with the new pornos in detroit.

Her concert was kind of weird to me

I knew her songs were short, but it’s something different live because there are longer breaks between songs.

her songs are 2-5 minutes long, standard pop length.

by colintj on Sep 28, 2008 6:43 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

She has quite a few that are under 2:00.

And a lot of the ones that are under 3 don’t have traditional song structures, so they just kinda end.

It’s not really a complaint, just an observation.

well it’s not like i’m in much position to say anything, having only seen her live with the new pornos and just then on a webstream.

never got into either of those two, outside of a couple songs.

If there was one city I’d live in in Texas it would be Austin though. What a great music scene. SXSW is just amazing. I see kids toting SXSW bags around on the subway all the time here.

To be reduntant,

MB came up HUGE! 110 pitches following 122, all on short rest, is to say the least “gutsy”.
This performance will be etched in whatever is left of my mind forever. As much or moreso than the no-no.
Thank you, Mark!

Chicago Tough is Buehrle

Saturday night’s game was salt in our wounds, and Mark came along with his magic elixir. Beat the hapless Tigres tomorrow and get some vengance against the Twins at home OR DIE.

Dare I ask what the Sox will do if they win tomorrow?

They pretty much have to go with Danks, right? Tell him to give you as much as he’s got for 3-4 innings, and from there, cross your fingers? I imagine it’d be Vazquez’ or Buehrle’s throwing day, so maybe you could steal an inning or two from them.

… or that could all be for naught. In any case I’m glad to see them pull out the W today. Hopefully Gavin has his curve working tomorrow. Even though the Sox would be in a tough spot, a one-game playoff with everything on the line would be cool. I remember enjoying the hell out of last year’s Colorado/San Diego battle.

I believe Gavin will be absolutely filthy

pitching on 3 days rest. Out of everyone on our staff this probably helps him the most, considering
