The Race

A time for premature reflection

With 6 games remaining in the 2007 MLB Season, the playoff match-ups in the National League are all but set.
As New York, Philly, Chicago, Milwaukee, Arizona and San Diego dig deep for those last few wins, this is
also a time for these organizations to begin to evaluate the 162 game season that they have just endured.
What could have been done in the last six months to ensure that these teams are already a lock into the
post-season and not in the midst of a down-to-the-wire Pennant Race?

Take Milwaukee for example… Without the 3 blown saves in May and the Crucial ninth inning error against St. Louis in July, the Brew Crew would be 2 games ahead of the Cubbies in the Central instead of 2 games behind.

Now, you may think that 4 games isn’t a lot in the grand scheme of things but when it’s the difference between
being in the “driver’s seat” and playing “catch up” with only 6 games to play…
Those four valuable games prove crucial.

Should the Brew Crew miss the playoffs by one game, there will most definitely be a lot of “could have, would
have, and should have” within the Milwaukee clubhouse and front office.

Bottom line, it’s these moments in late September that make this game so special. A group of guys that become family, live together and eventually die together in September. Not because of those four games, but because
of the culmination of events throughout all 162.

So our long trip culminated with us dropping by Turf (Our first account!) in San Mateo, CA. Turf is located
right in downtown San Mateo and carries brands such as Stussy, Crooks & Castles, Homeroom, Nike and
now Pennant Race. Make sure you stop by and check it out when you’re in the Bay area! Thanks to Kiya
for showing us around Self Edge, one of his other dope shops and MAD props to B.J. at Turf for hooking
up the Mapquest!

When we finished our time in the Bay, we both hopped our respective red eye’s and the trip was done.
Thanks to everyone we met along the way and hopefully our paths will cross again in the very near future!

The chinese restaurant sign says it all. We are fully stocked and the store is open. Go shop your hearts out.
Also, in honor of our opening we are giving a free t-shirt to anyone who purchases the brewcrew hoody or
crewneck. We’ll randomly pick a tee and send it with your order. Don’t worry we won’t charge extra for
shipping and we’ll make sure, if you’ve purchased another tee, you won’t get doubles.

Thanks for all the kind words and support. We hope this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Over the Hills and Thru the Desert

And We’re Back

After an 8 hour drive from San Fransisco to Vegas we were ready to have some fun and tear up Magic.
But first we need some food…

After the double-double it was time to Double-Down on cocktails. We thought it would be fun to walk, and
after 2 forties, a thunderstorm, and a broken toe we made it. I remeber nothing after that (except the fist
fight in the parking lot) The next day it was magic time, so we shook off the festivites of the night before and
headed over to the event. And what an event it was. We met some good people, saw a few celebs and
generally walked a lot. At the end of our time in vegas I felt like this guy looked…

Rough night

and was ready to head back to cali to a meeting that will lead to some exciting news, stay tuned.
Until then check out the rest of the fun.
