What are you drinking to celebrate?

Centerfield Jan 23 2016 04:35 AM

Let's have a virtual drink together. Poured myself a Glenlivet. Master Distiller's Reserve. My wife got it for me in London. Perfect night to crack it open. Here's to you guys CPF.

I mean. It's not every day that the Antonio Bastardo deal becomes official.

Gah! I knew I forgot to stock up on something before the storm. Looks like there's a shot of brandy left.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jan 23 2016 04:41 AM Re: What are you drinking to celebrate?

Not quite so top-shelf, but a damn fine pour of Woodford Reserve, neat. Just like a three-year deal with an opt-out. Neat!

I made a chocolate/peppermint vodka martini garnished with Hershey's Peppermint Bark Kisses and a candy cane. It's Christmas in January!

There's BIG WIN OVER ALBANY sort of exhilaration. And then there's BIG WIN OVER ALBANY followed by AND CESPEDES?!? exhilaration. Poured myself a Hellgate, by Blind Bat, a semi-local microbrew. It's not great, but it's in a growler that I've gotta get through soon, so what the heck.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 23 2016 05:00 AM Re: What are you drinking to celebrate?

We have a cheapo malbec from Argentina

It has seen the signing of Niuman Romero, it will soon see the return of Yoenis Cespedes.

AND ONE MORE FOR NIUMAN

Centerfield Jan 23 2016 05:33 AM Re: What are you drinking to celebrate?

Hey, look at that. It's snowing. Were we supposed to get snow?

Yea, really. Who needs a drink. I want to recreate that rush I had when I read the good news. At that point us getting him really was more than just the impossible dream. I didn't think I'd say this, but I'm going to enjoy this snowstorm. Cause it'll all be gone by April. And we got Cespedes back. I think something has to be done with Lagares if we can get a decent piece for him. Unless he gets the primary backup role. I'd prefer they keep him and get rid of that Azawhatever guy. But in a sense that is wasting Lagares. He still could be an everyday centerfielder....somewhere.

Ceetar Jan 23 2016 05:55 AM Re: What are you drinking to celebrate?

visited Finback brewery tonight and then had drinks to commiserate with some QBC folks, so i'm good.

Edgy MD Jan 23 2016 05:59 AM Re: What are you drinking to celebrate?

I'm OK right now with keeping all the soldiers if that's budgetable. Lagares finished the season well as platoon outfielder/defensive replacement with Cespedes swinging between left and center, and I think that's a perfectly workable way to continue and open the season with. Injuries may likely press somebody into more duty at some point anyhow. Plus 15 games with the DH. Also worth celebrating: they closed their deals with Duda and Mejia.

Albany will beat you AGAIN in the conference tournament finals. when it counts.

Me? I'm gonna have myself some Pop Tarts right now! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Frayed Knot Jan 23 2016 01:04 PM Re: What are you drinking to celebrate?

ummmm, a strawberry/banana smoothie ... I'm a bit late to the news.

G-Fafif Jan 23 2016 01:45 PM Re: What are you drinking to celebrate?

The tears of Nationals fans.

d'Kong76 Jan 23 2016 01:53 PM Re: What are you drinking to celebrate?

Coffee and water.

Maybe I'll crack open the Moldovan wheat vodka I wanted to try. (Yes, that was NOT a misprint. It was at my local Stew Leonard's wine shop.) Later

I've got two six packs of Newcastle Brown Ale in the fridge right now!

themetfairy Jan 23 2016 05:05 PM Re: What are you drinking to celebrate?

Of course, we should all be drinking Cuba Libres today. And I actually have some Cuban rum to go with mine!

d'Kong76 Jan 23 2016 06:16 PM Re: What are you drinking to celebrate?

Started in on a case of Bud cans. First one is to celebrate, next five are because shoveling snow with a buzz is more fun than when sober.

themetfairy Jan 23 2016 07:26 PM Re: What are you drinking to celebrate?

With 3-year-old Cuban rum, of course!

bmfc1 Jan 23 2016 07:34 PM Re: What are you drinking to celebrate?

I just put rum in my hot chocolate but that's less for Cespedes and more for being stuck in the house for 2 days and counting.

Lefty Specialist Jan 23 2016 08:35 PM Re: What are you drinking to celebrate?

Well, between signing Cespedes and 2+ feet of snow, there's only one beer that'll do.....

MFS62 Jan 24 2016 01:54 PM Re: What are you drinking to celebrate?

That Moldovan wheat vodka was good. I may have it again today to celebrate that the guy came to plow my driveway. Later

Lefty Specialist Jan 24 2016 07:30 PM Re: What are you drinking to celebrate?

Also, if you're drinking, it should be from appropriate glassware.....

Well, could have been BLUE Kool-Aid.

d'Kong76 Jan 26 2016 01:40 PM Re: What are you drinking to celebrate?

But no BLACK Kool-Aid.

MFS62 Jan 26 2016 02:24 PM Re: What are you drinking to celebrate?

The vodka tasted just as good when celebrating that the silly rule will not be coming to the NL for the foreseeable future. Later
