postseason
I recently upgraded my sausage making hardware with the purchase of a stand alone grinder and vertical stuffer which should handle 5 pounds of sausage in no time flat. I love my Kitchen Aid and it got me by for 3 years now, but I am quite happy to have tools that were built for the job. Turning out the goods for the party will be a fine test as I’ll be making quite a few batches.

Maybe I’ve mentioned this, but I really hate Coors Light billing itself as the “coldest tasting” beer. Knowing how much money is spent to design add campaigns and such, it’s troubling to know that this was a calculated decision on their part. “Alright boys, gather round now. We’ve decided that the best option on the table is to promote our product with this grammatical train wreck of a phrase. We think it will appeal quite well to the already drunk frat boy demographic.” Talk about the dumbing down of America.

The Revs tied at KC Saturday night, coupled with DC losing at home, this means that the Revolution will have home field for the balance of the playoffs. A just reward after being the dominant team in MLS from start to finish. Despite all this success, I’m not feeling great about the Revs playoff chances; they just haven’t been playing the same dominant soccer lately that was the hallmark of the first 2/3 of the season. I guess we’ll see what happens soon enough. One more regular season game and then the fun starts. I would like to beat Chicago and DC in the first rounds and then play San Jose in the final. Could you please arrange that for me?

Mirroring the Revs’ late season swoon into mediocrity, I’ve fallen to a lowly 5th place in my prediction league. So sad.
