Well folks, today we have a lot more than just beer to talk about. Trade Deadline action, Cub dominance in Milwaukee, and maybe a little music as well. However, we'll start with the Greek made Keo.
Keo is brewed on the island of Cyprus, Greece and has 4.5% alcohol. Keo has a very crisp taste, and when served ice cold is unbelievably refreshing. It was recommended by one MoPete, and it lived up to the hype. He first tried it at GreekFest in Merrillville and brought it in this week. Very good call. Keo is slightly reminscent of Heineken, in the sense of imported lagers but doesn't have the same skunky taste as some imports. Overall I give Keo 4 stars out of 5, but that could possibly be pushed up to 4.5 if you are very thirsty (like me today). Go out and grab yourself a six pack.
The MLB Trade Deadline passed at 3 CST today, and there was a huge late splash made by the Red Sox, Dodgers and Pirates. As I'm sure you will all read the Pirates sent Jason Bay to the Red Sox, ManRam went to the Dodgers, and the Pirates got 4 minor leaguers. Good pull for all.
The Red Sox managed to rid themselves of their problem child, and in the process pick up a legitimate middle of the order hitter in the process. The Dodgers got themselves the big bat they needed to solidify the middle of their order. And to boot, the Pirates got themselves a cornerstone player in 3B Andy Laroche, a good young OF Brandon Moss, RHP Craig Hansen and another minor leaguer. This results in at least five years of a solid 3B and RF, to go along with a possible future closer. Not a bad return for any of them.
The Cubs were absolutely dominant in Milwaukee this week, thrilling fans and writers alike. This writer attended last night's game in Milwaukee, and after the four hour car ride, had a show put on for him. The Cubs completed the sweep today, giving them a 5 game lead on their toughest opponent. Keep it rolling boys.
That's all for today. I saw a quite hilarious movie the other night in Step Brothers. I'll write a review of that and The Dark Knight sometime in the next week. Hope you all have a good weekend, I have a scramble golf outing tomorrow. Maybe I'll hit 'em straight.
Song of the day - "Time to Pretend" by MGMT. Such a cool electric sound, I can't get enough of it. Listen up.
