Vin Scully Bobblehead Night Featured a Rainbow Because it Was Vin Scully Bobblehead Night

All, Baseball, Legends, Video Tim Ryan August 31st. 2012, 2:00pm

It was Vin Scully bobblehead night at Dodgers Stadium on Thursday evening and, to the surprise of no one, everything went marvelously.

When Scully came out to throw the ceremonial first pitch, he fittingly did so in original fashion, opting to have each of his grandchildren hold the ball before casually tossing it to Don Mattingly at home plate. Classy approach. The man is a silky smooth operator. Scully’s presence is so magical, in fact, that he inspired the sky to create a rainbow during the festivities.

Only Vin Scully. This kind of thing would never happen to Michael Kay or Hawk Harrelson.

A Vin Scully post should never feature those names. Even proposed as antitheses.

I think we realized that when no one wanted him at the 2nd round tender. But no market at all surprises me. How can he not be better than Kolb/Flynn.

Man I just saw the clip of the kid running the way way after the fumble. Kinda hard to get mad at him when half his team is blocking, and the other team is trying to tackle him.

Yup. I had the Caramel Apple last night, and it was fucking disgusting. No matter what else is in there, it won’t make up for that.

Truth hurts. I do like Sams Octoberfest (one of the better beers you can pretty consistently get on tap around here).
Blackstone (local) apparently made a pumpkin, and their beer is awesome. If you are in TN and haven’t tried to get some of it, you are missing out. They also brew/bottle for Shafly now, so the pumpkin might be labelled for them, I’m trying to figure that out. I bet it’s awesome, either way.

I’ve never had a Chimay, but I’d like to at some point. I did however get a bottle of Duvel from Trader Joe’s, which was nice, for a beer which costs more than every bottle of wine in the place.

Not on tap many places, but if you get into town, the restaurant is on West End.
They have four that are regularly bottled, and apparently going to have some seasonals (like the Pumpkin in October) bottled. Publix, Kroger, and Harris Teeter all have the bottles. The Nut Brown is awesome, and the Porter is excellent if you like Porters. The APA is good, if you like hoppy beers (I’m so-so on them). They are better in the restaurant though, with more selections.

Feel like returning beer is a waste. First the gas money to get there and back, then the shame of being that guy. Plus, you could keep it and “ice brahs” at a get-together. Good times all around

I enjoy running around Belmont’s campus for obvious reasons, but have never been there. Some of the other places there (PM, Chago’s) are fairly popular.
I just looked it up, it’s not really by Belmont though, it’s closer to Vandy in Edgehill Village. Either way, I have no idea how it is.
