Irene Interruption

Our annual trip to Citizens Bank wasn't meant to be. With Shira being pregnant we were looking to unload the tickets. However, mother nature (who shook things up with an east coast earthquake this week) has Hurricane Irene heading our way. Yesterday the Phillies called us to tell us the game is moved to Saturday night. In the meantime, Rit, Jon, and I are finishing the book up. Jon just informed me that we got Bill "Spaceman" Lee to do the afterwards! Meanwhile, my Brew Crew has a 9.5/10 game lead and they landed on the cover of SI! Hopefully, the weather isn't as bad as it sounds. Looking forward to this fall classic and even more important Cyrus' new sibling!

Bierbraurers!

What an exciting summer! Season 24 has just concluded and  it has been busy, busy, busy. For starters, Shira is in her third trimester and Cyrus awaits his sibling. However, I think Cyrus believes the child will be his size at birth. Rit, Jon, and I have about 15,000 more words to wrap up the Red Sox book due out next spring. We visited Fenway in the spring for some research and are thrilled at the way the book is turning out. Meanwhile, my Brew Crew is in the midst of a 20-3 run. I'm sure by pointing that out they'll cool down, but that's bound to happen regardless of what I think or hope. They are currently up 7.5 but I've seen plenty of epic collapses in baseball to know no lead is safe. Ryan Braun (.327) is second in batting and Prince is second in RBI (92). They are combined for 50 homeruns, let's hope they stay healthy. Gallardo (13), Greinke (12), Marcum (11), and Wolf (10) have led the way on the hill.
