Updated (Finally!) Rangers Pitcher Count

For those who do not know, it has been a rough year for the Chicago Rangers. To soften the blow of the long arduous season, Ranger team members like to frequent establishments that serve refreshing libations. The much anticipated pitcher and tab totals are in for 2008:

144 Pitchers of Beer have been drunk

$ 2,074.00 has been added to the economy of Gio's and Hooter's of O'Hare

While the totals are not up to last years lofty totals, they are still respectable. The season high single day pitcher count stands at 14, which has been achieved three times this season.
