Allagash the Beer, not the River ---- BEER REVIEW

Get Ready for it. That's right, BEER REVIEW time. I know everyone relies on my beer reviews to find the best beers around, so I'm at again, and have a unique beer for you today.

Allagash White (5.0% ABV) An interpretation of the Belgian Witbier style. Spiced with Curaçao orange peel and coriander. 175 Calories, comes in bottles It is very tasty. Recommended serving temp 38-50 degrees. Just serve it cold. Brewed in the good ol' USA.

1. Smell: Very nice, fresh, soft smell (4/5)
2. Appearance: Allagash White has a very nice light color. The head is nice (head is always nice) and foamy, good consistency. Overall very very strong appearance. (5/5)

3. Ability to Drink Large quantities of it: Can't do it. Don't try it. Heavy beer that is hard to drink in large quantities. Definitely not a beer pong beer (2/5)

4. Hangover affect: Can't drink enough of it to come close to a hangover so that is a plus and a negative. (3/5)
5. BS affect: Things tend to be solid, and does not lead to bad BS's. But drinking a lot of this beer can take your stomach for a ride. (3/5)
6. Sex Appeal: This beer could make you sexier if you aren't sexy at all. It's more of a sophisticated type of beer. But, I doubt this beer can lead you pass first base. Simply put, you wont get your balls played with just cause you are sipping on an Allagash. (3/5)

20/30 -- Overall great tasting beer, solid performer, but a casual beer. Not a partying beer. A big bonus is that Allagash is fun to say.

That's all I got today. This blog is dedicated to a girl from DR work. Because apparently she is a fan of the beer reviews, and I'm a fan of fans.

Guess Who's Back.....

Hello everyone, the Crazy Chicagoan (Me) has decided to come out of blogging retirement. What I really was doing the "Brett Favre" experiment. I wanted to retire and jerk people around for 6 months, and when I dangle the news that I might come back the news will run wild with it.

Well the experiment did not go as planned for two reasons:

1) I have four fans
2) Nobody gives a crap about this blog, but me!

Anyway, I am back and badder than ever. It's time to get to blogging. I will be updating regularly and tomorrow I will bring back beer reviews for you!

Today, I want to talk about something very special. It's Cubs first game of the season at Wrigley Field and the Trib posted this intriguing article.

CINCINNATI — The 95th home opener at Wrigley Field on Monday will be a little different for both the Cubs' players and their fans. Renovations to the bathrooms, the concourse and the ballpark concessions will be on display, while the players will get to see their new lounge, new weight room and other upgrades in and around the clubhouse. Several Cubs players gathered around Sean Marshall's laptop Sunday morning, watching a video of the Wrigley Field renovations. "Same old batting cage," cracked one player, referring to the small net that's lowered from the clubhouse ceiling for players during games. But that's a small quibble, considering what the Rickettses have done to make the cramped Cubs clubhouse as relaxing as possible. "Over the next few years, I'm sure it will get ever better and better," pitcher Ryan Dempster Most of the changes are the idea of the new owners, who added a team nutritionist and a team psychiatrist to the mix. Can these changes help the Cubs succeed? "It makes it a little more comfortable for the players," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said. "They've done some really nice things for the fans too. But you win on the field. The dietician doesn't get any base hits. It might help the players get base hits." How about the psychiatrist? "I haven't seen him hit a two-run homer yet," Piniella said with a laugh. "But he can help players hit home runs. … All those other things might prepare you a little better to play on the field. Still, when the umpire says play ball, you've got to play." said.

"They seem pretty determined to keep Wrigley Field exactly the same but make the guts of it a lot nicer. It's awesome. It's great for the guys."

It's great that the Rickets made all of these upgrades to Wrigley Field: bathrooms, clubhouse, etc.

WHAT ABOUT UPGRADING THE FU*KING TEAM! That is your number one job, and you failed.

The 2010 Cubs, will be know as the Schlubbies. We have no bullpen, no offensive, suspect defensive and two good starting pitchers. Here is the Crazy Chicagoans list of needed upgrades:

1. Soriano - Trade him for anyone, anything, a case of beer. Just get him out of Chicago. He can't hit and can't field. The only thing he can do is take up a lot of cap room.

2. Bullpen - Is there anyone in the bullpen? Can anyone in there throw a baseball. Sean Marshall can, but its unfortunate that he can't pitch every day.

3. Rothschild - In his years in Chicago he has ruined so many talented pitchers. Get him out of here.

4. Beer Prices - Stop charging 6 - 8 bucks for a 50 cent beer. You can get a six pack of Old Style fro 3.50 at a liquor store. You need to refinance your house to get six beers at Wrigley Field.

Those are the four things I think need to be upgraded. Let me know what you think needs to be upgraded.

I had one more thought about our loveable losers. I think the franchise philosophy should change. Forget trying to win, and concentrate on making Wrigley Field and the Cubs the baseball party capital of the world.

Things need to enhance cubs games since the team blows:

1) Naked Cheerleaders - who doesn't love a naked cheerleader
2) $1 shots during odd numbered innings - This can only turn out well
3) Hotdog eating contests hosted by Joey Chestnut, during the third & eighth innings.

These are my ways for enhancing the Cubs, would love to hear from you guys.
