Don’t Worry, Big Papi.

Great Caesar’s Goat! It’s over! It’s over! Yes, it’s over! Don’t worry, Big Papi. (Thanks to the BLOHARDS for the link.) In case you haven’t heard David Ortiz finally hit his first homerun of the year last night in his 150th at-bat and in doing so passed Chris Carter and me on the Red Sox 2009 home run list. He is currently tied for 7th on that list with Lugo, Van Every, Pedroia, Green, Ellsbury and Baldelli. But, with interleague play beginning this week a few pitchers are bound to join them.

The Sox have been having a grand time with the first place Jays the past couple nights and tonight go for the sa-weep. So, that’s one reason to come to the bar. Hmm. Another reason is…

Harpoon Third Thursday Party.

By now you now that the third Thursday of every month we introduce a new Harpoon beer and give away stuff like cases of beer, and t-shirts, and pitchers of beer, and key chains. Stuff like that. Tonight we’ll have Big Bohemian Pilsner which weighs in at 9% ABV. And, for a special give-away we’ll have passes to Harpoon’s Summer Session on June 5. We might even tap a keg of Harpoon’s Imperial IPA. Great Caesar’s Ghost!

Speaking of beer. We’re working with the nice people at Chelsea Brewery right here in Manhattan on doing summer tours for Thom’s regulars. If you’re interested drop me a line.

More Thom’s Foolery.
