    They got that bottler just about the time of their anniversary party, n April. 500ml bottles, and they're going be putting the standard beers, and some of the fruited/sours, in them. The 750s will be continued to be used for things like the big stouts, and the specialty releases.

    The Seattle nine Marinered again last night, a bases-loaded walk in the 12th. Didn't follow the Cards game, but they lost as well, leaving us at, still, 69 combined wins.

    The Mariners failed to mariner today, and manage to salvage a win in western Florida. This brings us up to 70 combined wins. 4 more and someone gets beer!

    Another Mariners win (!?!) combined with another Cards loss moves us to 71. This thing could end tomorrow.

    Well, Fer Fucks Sake! I so jackeddddd these two teams jams. I truly thought this jam was gonna be quick. Whatevz. We're riding this storm out. Mathematically speaking, technically, neither of these teams ever has to win a game ever again. Which means none of y'all win beer.



    OK, that's out of my system. Carry on, ride the storm:

    Well, after looking through the guesses again, if these two teams continue to continue in their current manner, we might have a tie between @smanson56 and @beatjunkee .

    Yup. Back before they softened up, they were a good, rockin' band.

    I have to take your word for it. All I know of them are the cheezy power ballads from the 80s, and once was enough for me.

    Anything up to the Tuna Fish album is solid.

    With a Cardinal victory over the hated Cubs, we now stand at 72 combined wins. That means this LIF could close today. Well, that would require a Mariner victory, so it probably won't happen, but it could.

    So, after last nights action, we sit at 73 combined wins, 1 away from the target. @beatjunkee chose yesterday, and @smanson56 chose tomorrow. A win by either team today will get us a tie. Good luck gentlemen.

    An early start at Wrigley has The Birds on a Bat up 7-0, top of the sixth. Looks like I'll need a tie breaker question.

Here is the tie-breaker question, with answers from our two contestants to be posted no later than 11:59am EST(8:59am my time) Sunday, 6/26: NASCAR races on the road course at Sonoma CA on Sunday.

    @beertunes & @smanson56 ... hopefully this is cool with you both.... for, despite my ESPN prowess, and penchant for sports-guessing (...as well as present circumstance, on my end), and humpday generosity hahaha... i'll gracefully concede to @smanson56 =) i don't think i was even ever such a day-to-day cardinals/mariners fanboy leading up to the dramatic home stretch until now... but @smanson56 can take the win, and i'm sure the awesome PacNW box which is headed his way!

    and so with enthusiasm, i'll gladly relinquish victory of the LIF to Sir Smanson56. Go Cards, Go Mariners!

    Thanks for the fun @beertunes LIF, and cheers to continued BIF'ing for all!

    OK everyone, listen up! After consulting with Smanson, we've decided to re-open my segment of this LIF to everyone. The question remains the same (I'm lazy, sue me) Choose the driver who you think will win/finish highest in this Sundays NASCAR race at Sonoma CA. Guesses due by 8:59am my time (11:59am Eastern) on Sunday morning. First person to respond with a specific driver gets that driver. One driver per participant.

    @ONovoMexicano , @strohme2 , @lateralusbeer , let any of the BIF participants and/or lurkers y'all know to get a guess in. The only requirement is to be willing to do the next segment of the LIF.
