MLB Gameday

Your gameday beer: Want something with a real fruity flavor? Try Finger Lakes Apricot Wheat Ale. It’s out of Ithaca, N.Y., home to Ithaca College, the inspiration for that classic film, “Road Trip.” But don’t put mice in your mouth. Instead, to balance out the apricot flavor have some barbecued spare ribs. Happy grilling!

Go Phillies!

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
