Yeah no posts lately, no beer of the week this week (yet?)
Had the opportunity to watch the return of Joe Borowski (he even got a save) last Saturday. He had three balls hit to the warning track (all caught) but as usual he made it interesting. And other than earlier tonight the Tribe sure sucks as of late.
Anyhow the reason for this post is this... the Uroclub. If this doesn't have father's day gift written all over it I don't know what does. No Dad you are getting one you will just have to keep using the woods, deal with it.
In all honesty how many guys do you know who will just not take care of business on the first tree that they see? Are you really going to pay $50 for that, unless you are going to fill it with liquor to sneak on the course. Now there is a plan.

Beer of the Week
Week of May 19th 2008 --- Beer of the Week
J. W. Dundee's Pale Bock
Of the beers I tried out of the JW Dundee's sample pack this was definitely not the best but it was for sure the most interesting. By interesting I most definitely mean confused. It had a very malty flavor that unfortunately reminded me of drinking a Mickey's 40 at the 156 yelling at people on Lane Ave. It also vaguely had a pale ale taste and some other taste that was beer like.
That is probably the worst beer description I have have made, but after the first 5 drinks all I could come up with is "it tastes like beer". Not sure that is a winning campaign, but what can you do.

Well that sucked
LeBron has his best scoring game of the playoffs but it still was not enough. It sured seemed to me that the Cavs had plenty of chances to get the lead in that game. It looked like they did not know how to handle the last 5 minutes other than give to LeBron and let him chuck up some shitty jump shot or a out of control drive to the basket after which he missed he would look longingly at the officials for a foul call that was not happening. At least now I can watch (and by watch I mean tune in for 5 minutes of the game and then catch the highlights) the rest of the NBA playoffs without having to worry who wins.
Oh, the Tribe got swept by the Reds and Cliff Lee got shelled (f#$%).
At least horse racing is going to have a triple crown contender, and from the way Big Brown ran the Preakness it looks like he has a better than average chance (keep in mind I know jack shit about horse racing).
Last but not least. The Pittsburgh Penguins have advanced to the NHL finals and await the winner of the Redwings/Stars series (currently 3-2 Redwings). Assuming Detroit gets it together and puts the Stars away tomorrow night, it will be an interesting series of old and established vs you and inexperienced (with the Pens being the later). Hockey is hands down the best sport to watch when they are in the playoffs. The intensity for that one goal is just phenomenal, especially during sudden death overtime.

Breaking News
It is way early in the season still, but the Tribe has managed to sneak into first place in the AL Central. The starting pitching is really starting to come around. Now all that is needed is for the bats to wake up a little bit (I am talking to you Pronk).
Also, the Celtics can not be beat at home.

Last Night
Quite a night last night in Cleveland.
The Cavs evened their series with Boston up at 2 apiece. If only the Cavs could get 2 of the next 3 at home instead of the other way around.
The Tribe split with the Blue Jays in their doubleheader. Cliff Lee went 9 innings, did not give up a run, but also did not factor in the decision as the Tribe lost in 10 as Raffy Bentancourt came in and did his best JoBo impression.
The highlight of the night was Asdrubal Cabrera's unassisted triple play, only the 14th in major league history. The video evidence is here.

Where Amazing Happens
In an unprecedented event the NBA called a halt to the Cavs/Celtics game 1 at the end of the 3rd quarter. With the score 76 - 72 in favor of the Celtics. With 3 of the 4 "stars" of the series combining for just 16 points on 4-38 shooting, NBA Commissioner David Stern thought it would be best to take a little time before the 4th quarter so these players could, and I quote, "get their shit together".
The NBA has been feeling a little resurgence these last few months but the last thing they need is a bunch of boring series leading up finals. Stern has stated that he will do everything within his powers to help every series last 7 games with the playoffs ending sometime in mid September.
The only objections were from Zydrunas Ilgauskus who was going for 22 and 12 and KG with 28, 8 and more importantly the lead. Celtics head coach Doc Rivers was also not thrilled with the decision, but he can "understand the commissioners concern".
Lastly this break in the action will give Cavs head cheerleader and trainer Mike Brown another chance to make little or no adjustments to how the Celtics are defending LeBron James.

Week of May 5th 2008 --- Beer of the Week
Bell's Oberon
You would think on Cinco de Mayo that there would be a Mexican beer of the week, but you would be wrong.
For the second week in a row the beer of the week was sampled on tap at the Boneyard on the same day as a tragic Indians loss (more on that later).

Final Score 1?? -???
Really?
Thanks ESPN!
(click image for full size)
I guess this has been the only benefit of spending my Friday night in the lab periodically checking ESPN for NBA and NHL playoff updates, watching ESPN jump the gun a little on the Hawks/Celtics result. The only way it could have been better is if the Hawks had somehow lost, even though I am pretty sure the game was over when this was posted on the world wide leaders homepage.

Cavs Win!
Of course the Cavs clinch their first round series with the Wizards while I am at work.
Normally I would follow the game on ESPN gamecast, but I was to busy doing real work (seriously*) to even have a chance to do that.
All I got is the final score 105 - 88 and LeBron's stat line 27 points, 13 board, 13 assists, 2 steals and a block.
I wonder if DeShawn Stevenson still thinks he is overrated?
*not even kidding a little
