Halo Chip Sandwiches in Anaheim

aka chipwich.

I am a jerk. I did not buy this ice cream sandwich - I just took a picture of it. I didn't mean to waste the vendor's time but I realized I didn't feel like eating it and I didn't want to waste food but I really like the way the silver wrapper looked and I liked the name. $4.50, by the way. Have You ever had a Halo Chip Sandwich?

The Angels are in Oakland today for the last game of the regular season. Then they'll be in Boston for two games, home again in one week.

Melt Bar and Grilled in Cleveland

True it's 6.5miles from the home of the Browns, but so what? Every time I leave home I realize that everyone in the world has a car. And, anyway, Melt Bar and Grilled is awesome. And I don't even like Fat bread. In fact, I sort of Hate Fat bread but I still love this grilled cheese restaurant in greater Cleveland (technically Lakewood). May I repeat: Grilled Cheese Restaurant. They have some 20 different grilled cheeses that all come with fries and slaw. It's heavenly.

Pictured front is the Grilled Peanut Butter & Banana which has PB, berry preserves, cream cheese, and banana. Behind it is Wake & Bacon: fried egg, bacon, American cheese.

Even if the restaurant's walls were not covered with sports memorabilia, I'd still tell you to run to Lakewood and have a grilled cheese before or after the game. You can ride along the water to/from the Browns Stadium.

The Browns are home v the Ravens at 1pm on 9/30. The Indians (also not far) next home game is TBD.

Dancing Banana in Tampa Bay

Why?

Cowbells ringing trigger my memories of the unfriendly TB vibe. But I'm not a hater so I'm not going to say something like...what the heck is a giant inflatable banana person doing walking around and harassing our pitchers? Is that what losers do or do Devil Rays just like Bananas?

who is that girl talking to Jeter?

and why did she want someone to pour champagne over his head? didn't she notice there's no champagne in that dang clubhouse? I guess they ran out sometime during the past 13 consecutive years of making the playoffs.

Michelob Ultra Cans for Wild Card Winning Yankees

a celebration to remember...how will all those kids realize they're up in the Bigs if the celebratory beverage is Michelob Ultra in a Can? Sheesh. they can get that crap in shortseason-A.

the Bills stole the Cookie from the Cookie Jar

This Bills Cookie Jar is almost, but not quite, as good as the Oakland Raiders Soup Thermos. But it's still worth mentioning and picturing. Click below to get the full scale image. By the way, other teams have their own Cookie Chefs.

The Bills are home v the Jets at 1pm on 9/30.

Indians Fans in Brooklyn

So what if it's small tv #9 and not one of the big tvs? and so what if you're surrounded by Mets and Yankees fans? at least you can get off your couch to watch the Indians play. and the beer is cold and the burgers are pretty good too. I'm talking about Cody's in Cobble Hill. and I bet if the Indians play the Yankees the games will be on a big tv :)

The AL Central Division Champion Indians start a series in Seattle tonight at 10:05 (PT).

World Series in the Yankee Stadium Bleachers

I guess the good thing about our World Series tickets being in the bleachers is that I will finally get to review the food/drink in the Yankee Stadium Bleachers. no beer these days, right? what else can I expect?

gotta love the privilege of pre-sale. how great that 11 minutes into the sale only bleachers are available. 

Penn State fans can double up on their Joe at breakfast

from the AP...not news but still interesting...

Football coach Joe Paterno's likeness will appear on boxes of "Super Donuts" and "Super Buns" cinnamon buns made by R Super Foods. It's a Pittsburgh company owned by NFL Hall of Fame running back Franco Harris, one of Paterno's former players.

Paterno's picture is part of a promotion to honor sports figures that have "immersed themselves in their local communities, providing initiatives and community service that helps others," Harris said at a State College supermarket, flanked by Paterno's wife, Sue.

"I couldn't stop at just one," she joked about snacking on the food. "Joe has more discipline."

Sue Paterno said her 80-year-old husband still attends rehabilitation a couple times a week as he recovers from a broken left leg and torn knee ligaments suffered during a sideline collision in November. He can walk without a cane, she said.

Joe Paterno has been traveling in recent weeks wooing high school recruits.

Paterno has been featured on food products before, including Wheaties and loaves of Italian bread. A portion of proceeds from the sale of each box of the Paterno-edition Super Donuts and Super Buns will be donated to an endowment fund for the university library that bears his name.

**Penn State is home v Iowa on 10/6
