  1. jose abreu is on the books at 19.5M and pressly at 14M so you invented an extra 11.5M there.
  2. nobody drinks beer anymore, don’t yall read the trades?
  3. when i first started exploring beers beyond keystone light in college, sam smith’s oatmeal stout and newcastle were my favorite splurge beers. haven’t had either in probably a decade.
  4. National Championship game should be permanently played in Las Vegas the Rose Bowl.
  5. I don’t think there is a dedicated Belgium thread, and I spent a week there earlier this month, so figured I’d make a thread. This was kid-free trip with the wife to drink Belgian beer, eat Belgian food, and check out some European Christmas markets. Flew Houston to Chicago to Brussels, arriving Friday morning. Took train from airport to Bruxelles Central Station and walked about 1/4 mile to check into Hotel Agora Bruxelles Grand Place. Hotel is about 2 short blocks from the Grand Place, which is cool to look at, but not much to do there other than check out the Christmas light show at night. We avoided the tourist trap cafes surrounding it. After checking in, we walked through Grand Place and then had lunch at a cheese & wine shop called La Fruitiere, followed by a Taras Boulba and Drie Fonteinen Kriek at Moeder Lambic, an absolute must-visit beer bar. Next stop was Cantillon, where we did the self-guided tour, followed by tasting in their little taproom. Back to hotel to nap and then set out again to have a couple beers at Brussels Beer Project before dinner. BBP is like a modern American taproom focusing on small batch beers, including hazy IPAs. Beers were good, but not what I travelled to Belgium for. Croquettes, mussels, and frites at La Marre and then some quads at Poechenellekelder, an awesome old beer bar with walls covered in creepy marionettes. will follow up with much more
  6. if you don’t literally love jose altuve, are you really an astros fan?
  7. arenado has posted two consecutive sub-.800 seasons and had 39 xbh in 2024 to bregman’s 58 in almost exactly the same number of AB, in a season most of us considered sub-par for bregman.
  8. Bevo will not travel to the SEC CG, according to a connected Silver Spur alum buddy of mine.
