Yankees baseball perhaps.

But hockey between two teams that I don’t have a rooting interest in>baseball between two teams I don’t have a rooting interest in.

Though I am going to my first non Islanders/Rangers/Devils home hockey game in January. Been to a lot of baseball, but never hockey.

Canucks at Panthers. Sounds like a blast….right? Right?

It actually does.

Whereas I couldn’t even pretend to be interested in a Reds-Nationals game or something like that.

I think I can really be interested in Reds, Nationals, but I think I would be more interested in the Canucks-Panthers game.

I guess

It is a nice stadium, though it reminds me a bit of a AAA park somehow

I took in a Marlins-Nats game there during its first season.

It sounds that way

But what I mean is that they’ve really stunk the two times I’ve gotten to watch them this season. I mean, the last game, Miller got pulled about halfway through the first period because he let three pucks in, and Kaleta managed to pick up a four-game suspension with a head butt. Mind you, I’ve wanted to head butt various Flyers myself…

Looks excellent

My own favorite place is Binny’s Beverage Depot. Don’t judge them based on their terrible-looking website, though. The store is large, but since it sells beer, wine, and liquor, they don’t have as good of a beer selection as I’d prefer. Your place would be right up my alley. The vast array of wines available at Binny’s is largely wasted on a beer drinker such as myself, though I do enjoy some liquor as well.

That’s cool that you can one-stop shop like that. Here you can’t buy liquor in beer stores and vice versa for liquor stores.
