2013 Game 108: More Astros, Yaaaaay

I wanted to do an update of the wgom predictions for the two-thirds mark, but boring story short, I won't be able to access my laptop until tonight (I'm on the iPad) so we'll do it later. Brad Peacock, just another guy you've never heard of, starts against Mike Pelfrey. Woooooo.

  1. Greetings from Target Field. Daughter and I are here. We enjoyed Morneau's HR. I totally called it. Now I have to buy cotton candy.

      1. Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  2. I like how the pronunciation of Arcia's name has gone from "ar-SEEYA" to "AR-seea" back to "ar-SEEYA"

    1. The best thing I can say about that is that it's not the worst thing I've ever seen.

  3. On the stove top: 5.5 gallons of water is set to boil, with an additional gallon that is currently steeping grain. Yeast is activated, hops are portioned out, and a sierra nevada torpedo is in hand. I know that free loves this beer, and so do I.

      1. Cheaps hooked me up with an IPA recipe. Should come in around 6ish %, with hops that are more on the piney / grassy side than the traditional west coast hop profile.

        1. of course I didn't follow his directions because the local guys were out of a few things, but I have faith.

        2. numnum. what hops?

          I'm a big fan of floral character to an IPA (a la Lagunitas). But piney/grassy works too.

          1. Marble IPA from Albuquerque was the inspiration, and they told me their go to was simcoe. Cheaps came up with a magnum base, willamette in the middle, and simcoe to finish. The guys were out of willamette and only had leaf magnum. So I went for simcoe as the bittering, summit and chinook 1/2 and 1/2 at 20 minutes and flame out. The thought here was that summit can produce some weird aromas (garlic / onion) if used in quantity at flameout. We'll see how this goes.

  4. gotta leave in a couple minutes to shop for bathroom light fixtures and toilets with the mrs. Pray for me.

      1. You can sell that if the wife does the toilet cleaning. Might as well shoot for a bidet, too.

  5. I've enjoyed spending the last hour on the phone with DirecTV after my FSN feed went out YET AGAIN.

  6. Jamie Hirsch got to read the "Tweets of the Day" about Morneau. All three more or less said how awesome he was and how he shouldn't be traded.

  7. Good pitching and old Doctor Longball have been a winning formula forever. We're still on track for 102-60!
