I was thrown by Bob and Ray as well as Ernie, thinking they were part of the theme.<br /><br />D-O, I've had most of those beers you mention. And since I've never been anything close to a beer snob, have no shame in admitting it. Even Blatz. But your list does include the worst beer I've ever tasted. I bought 1 6-pak of Grain Belt back in the 70's. Managed to get one finished, but found it awful tasting. Gave away 2 others, that were not finished. And the final 3 were poured out.

I seem to recall two times they have utterly dominated a game 5, as happened a few days back, then gone on to lose the series.<br /><br />They came into this as big underdogs, so reaching game 7 is a bit of an accomplishment. Tight games and routs both ways in this series. Very strange.<br /><br />Losing Kronwall is real blow. It would be very hard to pull off a 3rd win in Tampa, anyway. I'm hoping for the best, but do not expect it. I'll be at rehearsal tonight, so I'll miss the game.<br /><br />Many years ago the Toledo Goal Diggers went into the playoffs as an underdog, and went to 7 games with the Saginaw Gears, finally winning the Turner cup on the road. If I recall correctly, the home team lost every game in that series.<br /><br />EIS Cool Regards!<br />JzB Jazzbumpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337490817307473659noreply@blogger.com
