FA Cup Final: Arsenal wins; Team batsu

Congratulations to Arsenal FC on winning the FA Cup in back-to-back seasons, besting Aston Villa 4-0.

This is the Gunners' 12th FA Cup title (best of any club in England), and second straight.

Unfortunately, stateside, both Mike and Ryland picked the Villa to win what would have been their first FA Cup since 1957 and their 8th overall.

Mike and Ryland get a BATSU GAME!!

This would be our first team batsu, which Mike has consistently said will be Kiki Beer.

For those of you unfamiliar with Kiki Beer, here it is (in its native Japanese):


Basically, it's a blind taste testing challenge.  You are given a blindfolded taste test of one particular beer - and, just based on that taste test, you have to find your beer among a wide assortment of beers.  The goal: get it right.

We should also point out that Ryland still has his free pass.  If he chooses to use it, then no team batsu and Mike (who already used his free pass for this year) will receive a solo batsu of Ryland's choice, provided it isn't a repeat of last time.
