Good for Ken Griffey Jr., what a load off his mind, (and by the way mean people suck! http://www.daytondailynews.com/o/content/shared-gen/blogs/dayton/cincinnatireds/entries/2008/06/08/my_ears_are_still_ringing.html
Bad for Jerry Hairston, Jr. busted his thumb. the Reds SS position is cursed this year.
My prediction of a 3&5 roadtrip held true, for this team (and for me) that's pretty good.

Hi, try going into the "manage blog posts" section and make sure your posts are set to "public" in the "Entry Status" tab. For some reason they've been defaulting to Draft lately so they don't show up.
Hope that helps.

The chicken tenders from Eddie's Southern Style BBQ were the closest I've found in the area. The chicken was drier, the coating/breading wasn't as tasty, and the only available sauces were hot or BBQ. But, they were definitely the southern style chicken finger. I'm hoping to try them in the restaurant the next time I'm in Florence, maybe they'll be better (with other sauces, too) than the wham-bam-who's-next of Taste.
Burbank's Southern Smoked Chicken Tenders were close in name only. The breading was too hard and crunchy, not a bad thing in and of itself, but not the paradigm, and again the meat was drier than Zaxby's.
...as far as the 18 inning marathon, I'm just sick...
Went yesterday around 1:00pm, it was already packed.
There was no Barrel House, waaaahh!
Scott's HUGE wings were 2 for $3.
The far east side (Mt. Carmel beer), was the least crowded.
Mythos' gyros were good, but not great, and that was disappointing.
The gyro meat was NOT the best I've ever had - that title goes to
Blondies Boardwalk in Monfort Heights.
I walked past the Christian Moerlein booth and it looked like they
had a Hudy Delight tap (I was concentrating on beers I usually don't
get that often).
The VIP lines were longer than the regular lines, there was only one VIP line per booth and usually 2 or 3 regular.
While it's getting better they still need more tables.
We parked for a buck!
The best thing we had was the Buca Di Peppo raviloli.
The least pleasing ('cause it wasn't bad) was the BW3 gyro.
Most interesting was the Andy's chicken kabob (and Mr. Hajar was walking around in his fez smoking a hookah!)
She Who Must Be OBEYED wants to go Krogering at this abominable hour, so I have to go.
Warsteiner (the U.S. headquarters are in West Chester)
Sam Adams (60% of all Sam Adams' beers are brewed on Central Parkway)
Spaten (no known local connection, but at least it's not Bud)
Great Lakes (No, Cleveland is definitely not local - but the Nut Brown is pretty good)
Christian Moerlein (Start with the regular lager, if you are familiar with it, try the OTR and the Barbarossa. Sad to say - but there is nothing special about the Lager House. It's just a regular beer, very good for a regular beer - better than the Sam Adams Boston Lager - but not as good as the Signature brew).
Mt. Carmel (Try the Copper Ale!)
There is one vendor that I can't make out from the event map. I hope it's Barrel House, if so try the Boss Cox - one a$$-kickin' brew, just awesome!!)
And, PLEASE, try Scott's BBQ. You will thank me for suggesting their wings (sauce on the side). Huge wings with the smoke flavor down to the bone. Also, She Who Must be Obeyed loves the Peach Cobbler.
Really, honestly, Taste is a wonderful event. Come on downtown, you'll love it!
