My girlfriend eats Natto fairly regularly it seems like the kind of thing I would enjoy but the one time I bought it for her and was gonna try it myself the smell was so overwhelming I couldn't do it and I love fermented foods.

Well among other things, the Giants aren't run by cheap assholes who immediately decided to gut the payroll the second they came into ownership

Which is why no one wanted to play for the Astros either (apparently Andrew Miller turned down more years/money from Houston to go back to NY)
Andrew Miller turned down the Dodgers too, I read because he wanted to be in the east.

Raw eggs can be good. One of my favorite cocktails is a Cynar flip. Its just 2.5oz of Cynar (Italian digestif distilled from artichokes) and a whole raw egg, shaken like crazy for as long as possible.

When I was in Japan you could go to any number of fast food-ish places and get a dish of rice, thinly sliced beef or chicken, some veggies and a raw egg that sort of glued it all together when you mixed it in. I would kill for someone to bring that to the US.

For me it's him throwing a perfect strike from 380' in center at Nats Park.

Donburi owns, places in the US do a soft-boiled egg instead of raw, though. There's a place 2 blocks from work that does a killer beef bowl, I get it once a week, at least.

Yeah Donburi is what I was thinking of. The first time we got it they had one of those vending machines where you just put your yen in and get a ticket to hand to your server, and we stood around like tourist idiots until one of the waitresses came up and yelled at us that they had an English menu.

I dunno what the Giants' money situation is like, but in terms of who they're sending it's a steal. I know they're "top prospects" but that farm is barren as gently caress.

Better than it used to be, since they finally paid off their stadium debt ... last year? Anyway, their owner has a net worth of like $6 billion, they can do whatever they want.

Second highest payroll in baseball behind the Dodgers. They're already on the cusp of the luxury tax and eating ~$250m of Stanton's salary is going to catapult them over it.

The Giants are paying a lot of old, bad players.
