Listening to Rick Rizzs ramble is analogous to listening to That Guy in a bar who insists on telling you about the most arcane details of his entire life. “this is one of those days when Rizzs is just rambling.”

And why does he get a green light to swing at it? The chances of a HR or XBH (the only outcomes better than a walk, with a single being a wash) are so much smaller than the chances of said walk, and it's not like someone like Cairo was on deck.

It's a sibling of Prost! (on Greenwood near 74th) and Die Bierstube (on Roosevelt just north of Ravenna). Feierabend has a full kitchen so it has the largest menu, but there are just a couple of small, awkwardly-placed TVs so it is a lousy place to watch games. Die Bierstube and Prost have very basic German pub food (wurst, pretzels, killer mustard) but they both are better set up for watching games with large flat screens (Die Bierstube is probably the better of the two from that perspective).
