Parrot Bay came out with a Captain Coke concoction in a bottle about 2 years ago. I have never found a Captain Coke that I wouldn’t drink, so I consider myself somewhat of an afficianado. Long story longer, the bottled/canned Captain Coke is terrible. Don’t waste your time or money.

Several times every year (once in May, once in July, a few times in August, and maybe in September), the New York tabloids and all Yankee “fans” go into complete “sky is falling” mode - “Season’s over!” “A-Rod’s a joke!” “Moose doesn’t have it!” “Fire Torre!” “Mariano’s washed up!” “Giambi needs the juice!” “Where’s the real Boss?” Etc., etc.

And while common sense tells me, “hey, it’s only May and they’re only 5 games back,” I still inevitably start to think, “hmmm, maybe the Yankees ARE done…” And I let down my guard.

Two weeks later, they have a 2 game lead and all the “fans” are predicting that this “is the [redacted] year!”

I hate that.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 13 consecutive times, shame on me.

I, for one, will not rest easy until the Post delivers a witty, pun-filled proclamation that the season is over…and it’s in October

But to reiterate what Brandong is saying, the Captain, sweet and delicious as it is, can only bring heartbreak. You can’t not overindulge, and you end up doing something stupid like believing Tim Brewster or downloading the entire Rammstein catalog. Not that I’ve done either, but you get the point.
