What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, unless there's a souvenir cup involved
Hmm, Levi and I should have coordinated our vacations so we didn't have weeks where only one of us has to carry the blog load.
Anyway, potential guideline for the baseball trip: no drinking "beer by the yard," even if it's really only 18 inches, because once you've consumed one of those things, it's pretty hard to get up the next morning and drive somewhere. Trust me.
I meant to check out for Levi what the current odds were on the Cards winning the World Series, but I was too busy collecting my winnings on a certain non-baseball bet I placed at the sports book on Monday afternoon.
Steve: So did you drink a "yard" or a "half yard?" A yard is about equivalent to 40oz of beer. After sitting by the "beers of the world" stand at Comiskey the other night and paying $5.50 for 16oz PBR, I think the yard of beer is your most economical beer selection at the ballpark. I don't endorse you drinking a yard of beer a day becuase I wonder what that would do to your diet of Hostess Baseballs. It could get ugly.
Jim: I drank a full yard (of Dos Equis amber, this being a Mexican restaurant, which was primarily pushing margaritas by the yard, but you could get any drink that way). It was $13.95, but that's Vegas hotel pricing, not ballpark pricing.
