JMurls Microbrew and Fantasy Insight of the Week

JMurl's Microbrew of the Week

Dogfish Head AbriHop

Brewed by: Dogfish Head Craft Brewery/Milton, DE

Style: American IPA

Abv: 7%

An American pale ale brewed with real apricots...average appearance with a slight red color...fantastic aromas of hops, apricot, and light malt...medium bodied, with a lingering hop flavor...4 out of 5 burps

Rating system:

5 burps- The cream of the crop...your taste buds will thank you

4 burps- Good brew, but not the crème de la crème that would get 5 burps

3 burps- Okay, but “I'm not a big fan” and its got alcohol in it, so I'll drink it

2 burps- “Do you have any Bud Light instead of this?”

1 burp-   This brew sucks so bad, it make you want to run to the closest AA meeting

Sit em'/Start em' (week of 4/7 through 4/14)

Start Em':

Adam LaRoche (Nationals-1B) Has a great support staff of Werth and Zimmerman...playing Mets this weekend and should have a field day facing Dickey, Capuano (starting debut) and a Chris Young that is still high from the Pat's “One Wit With” he ate after Tuesday performance against the Phitins...

Brian Roberts (Orioles-2B)  In only 5 games this year, he has 2 dingers, 1 triple, and 8 RBI's...facing the Rangers and Yankees in the next two series, but should provide a lot of spark for the resurgent O's from Birdland

Tom Gorzelanny (Nationals-P)  Will be making his first start of the season this Saturday against a Mets current roster that is a combined 8-for-46 (.117) and no homers

Sit Em':

Jake Westbrook (Cardinals-P)  Gave up 8 runs and 6 hits in only 4 1/3 against the Padres on April 2^nd...and it doesn't get any easier at AT&T Park this weekend....keep em' on your bench until he can prove himself...

Adrian Beltre (Rangers-3B)  Batting 3 for 25 (as of 4/6) and his only highlight came against the Sox when he belted a Grand Salami...look for other options at third base until he turns it around

Chipper Jones (Braves-3B)  Although he got off to a great start with 3 doubles in 6 games, he faces Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt, and a rebounding Cole Hamels this weekend...get him back in the lineup against the Marlins next week, but bench him for the Phils
