Anyone know what the closest area to the Consumers Craft Brew Stand is at Coca Cola Field. Or would it just be easier to buy tickets there and ask to be seated closer to that area? Last year it was at street level, a little on the first base side of home. I'm guessing that section 108 would be clos...

heard from nicklebrook today that the barrel aged cuvee will be in lcbo's soon. They had a shelf full of it at Summerhill today. I tried to buy one but it wouldn't ring up. After much running around, the clerk informed me that it wasn't for sale yet and that it was being removed from the shelf as s...
