I got a taste for blown saves

I love crawfish but, like wings, they’re more work than they’re worth and they’re almost always absurdly priced.

crawfish aren't that much work really and are well worth it

and wings aren't really any work at all?

Now I do not know whether I was then a head coach dreaming I was a Saints fan, or whether I am now a Saints fan, dreaming I am a head coach.

Look I didn't properly learn to split the wings until my 20s so maybe that's their thing.

Though crawfish and wings are both basically impossible to do with my kids around, neither are much work compared to the crab nonsense people put up with here (for delicious crab).

Most people don't know how to get the meat out of a crawfish it seems like. It's not that hard. Wiggle the tail to remove it, remove the first two links of shell, then squeeze at the end of the tail and the meat pops right out

It's so upsetting that my wife peels like 5x faster than I do, but once at an all you can eat festival/competition we took advantage of it and I just kept running pounds and pounds back to her while she peeled like a machine and we'd split the bounty.

Hopefully that’s a 2-3 week timetable for France. I think the Mariners can weather that if Winker and Suarez keep hitting, but not too much more.

Every time I'd go to a Mariners game I'd enjoy some garlic fries then go to the international district for a meal.

Highly recommend.

As a pescatarian I've found most ball park food to be pretty sub par. If you don't eat meat the options are basically fries.

Cheese pizza, basic nachos, and hopefully veggie dogs are pretty much what I eat at ballparks. Veggie dogs are 50/50 whether they’ll suck or not. Wrigley’s veggie dogs blow and cost like twice as much of a regular dog. I remember hanging a good veggie dog in Cincinnati way back when.

Usually I just try to eat before I get to the park and then I just eat a pretzel or something.

Some LA radio guys were giving Freeman a hard time the other day for visiting with the Braves so much (when they were at Dodger Stadium earlier this year and again now). Anyone who has ever left a good job knows that you like hanging out with your former coworkers when you get the chance. There’s very obviously a special bond between him and Atlanta and it doesn’t mean that he puts in any less effort with his current club. Same goes for Mookie and Boston.

It’s a really dumbass old baseball idea. Michael Kay is always complaining about players spending time with players on the opposing team or goofing around with them during the game. It’s dumb as hell and would be easy to just go “boomer” on but really I think it comes down to fans who have a deeply unhealthy attachment to their teams getting mad when the players don’t have the same.

I'm now having to admit that I watched the movie but it reminds me of fever pitch where the sox fans were losing their poo poo over being down 0-3 and they see Johnny Damon just calmly eating dinner and can't understand why

also the movie sucked

Yeah. That’s another aspect of it. When a player can handle a loss or a slump or something and fans who can’t freak the gently caress out about it. “It’s like they don’t care!?!?!”

While I do genuinely love a raw, nasty heated rivalry in sports there’s something awesome about being able to bullshit with the other team, share some laughs, and then do everything in your power to send them home with the L. There’s an appeal with both things for sure.

Going back to last week or so, Paredes has now hit 10 dingers in his last 25 games including a 3-homer day :stare:

He’s OPSing .800 with a .210 average and a BABIP in the .150s. I guess, uh, a change of scenery and coaching works out for some guys better than others.

both combined no hitters. the first one had kirk saarloos which I only remember because of the inexplicable time I saw someone wearing a saarloos jersey at a game 5 years after he last pitched for the astros

Yankees should take a hard look at their roster after these last 3 games and make the offensive improvements they will need to win the world series. It's actually good that they are getting a wakeup call here.
