Happy Tuesday, all.
Morning Joe
Morning, Scott. Had a Ninkasi Imperiale stout last night. Pretty damn good, but it did have a weird metallic aftertaste to it. I can't really ever describe that sensation better than that but I get it from time to time with beer. Someone once explained to me what it was, but I forget.
Also, debating whether to make an effort to follow the Kings or the Ducks, been watching them a lot lately. Ducks just announced that they're relocating their AHL team to San Diego next year, so that could be fun. Or maybe I'll just watch whoever's on and see if a team sticks.
Both good and successful, LA gets my vote though. Couple of alumni from UND play there(Matt Greene(Asst Capt) and Derek Forbert)
Hmmm... I've watched more Kings games in the past month or so than the Ducks. But Anaheim is MUCH easier to get to than where the Kings play in downtown Los Angeles. I know most about the Capitals from radio podcasts I listen to from back east, but I'm not paying extra money to get them on TV. Gotta be someone I can watch regularly.
I'm actually excited about the start of the MLB season this year to see how my Mets progress. You can all GFYs in advance
Yeah, well, I'm ALWAYS most excited for baseball. Everything else just passes the time. I can't get in to college basketball, so hockey is a nice diversion until baseball starts up. Padres should be decent this year. I'll always be a Yankees fan but at least the local team will be worth watching. In years past I've felt like they should pay ME to go the games.
The Padres figure to take a considerable step forward this year, no?
On paper, anyway. Lots of injury prone guys in that outfield so we'll see how long it lasts. Should be a fun April for them, at least.
That's what I'm afraid of for the Mets, just a fun April. Big key is how Matt Harvey comes back (obviously) but he's been off for 19 months and I heard they modified the tendon slightly on his surgery from the past, lengthened it and is supposed to speed recovery or some shit
