I've had a 'chicago' dog once. It sucked.
I like the vinegar of catsup. It pairs well with cheese. So cheddar dogs and mac & cheese. What about Jaso? I can smell him from here. |

And I'd like to present Pittsburgh Dad's take on the off-season.
Dad Reacts to Pirates Andrew McCutchen Trade "Well, congratulations. Now you're the Cleveland Browns of baseball." Hey, wait... |

The in thing at Kauffman the last several years has been brisket nachos served in a helmet bowl.
What I like about Kauffman, and this isn't commonly known, is that you can just openly walk in with food. Beverages are limited to one bottle of water per person, but we've carried in pizza, BBQ, sandwiches, snacks... all kinds of stuff. I'm not sure how common that is elsewhere in MLB. Is it summertime yet? Because a Friday night at the K sounds pretty good right about now. |

That's the food policy at PNC too. Sealed bottles of water, and whatever else you want food wise into a bag or cooler of some size.
Speaking of PNC, the Pirates are going to sue the taxpayers for reimbursements for "repairs". http://triblive.com/local/allegheny/13279072-74/pirates-threaten-to-sue-pittsburgh-authority-over-money-for-pnc-park-improvements The tl;dr version: Pirates forcetaxpayers to build them a new park. The taxpayers said no, but it somehow got done anyways. Now the Pirates are saying new carpeting and art work in the luxury suites the average taxpayer can't afford to every see constitutes a "repair" and Pittsburgh needs to pony up the cash. If the city says no, they'll sue or just jack up ticket prices. Goddamn, I hate Bob Nutting. I mean, fuck Bob Nutting with Barry Bonds' dick and I hope they both get the AIDS in the process. And no reach around for Bob. And Rob Manfred gets AIDS too. And then the lot of them catch fire from Neal Huntington's spontaneous human combustion. |

I know at Busch Stadium you can bring in outside food and water/sodas in plastic bottles, as well as soft coolers. Unless I'm in an all inclusive seat, I almost always bring in a cooler. $1.50 Tall Boys for the walk to/hanging outside the stadium are a real cost cutter. View Quote |

Detroit's home opener is against Pittsburgh? Huh. Thats kinda weird, no?

While I believe that all interleague games are an affront to the laws of both man and God, I am even more troubled by the fact that the Pirates home opener is against the Twins, a team I completely forget existed aside from Kirby Puckett.
It does please me that when they come to town they will not be allowed to commit the sin of having a Designated Hitter. The Pirates truly are fighting to keep evil out of the world. |

View Quote Well esteban louiza certainly did his part to make pittsburgh more like detroit. I will miss not going to opening day this year, but I cannot support the nutting. And maybe instead of buying new carpeting and artwork, he should've had something done about all the corrosion on the structure. |

So I went to my first Stars game on Friday because my sister and BIL were in town and I took them. Now I'm watching NHL Tonight (which is the sister station to the MLB Network), because baseball is still going to be boring and worthless for about a month.
But, the problem with hockey is that it overlaps with baseball season, and I am such a baseball fanatic that I can't split my attention, particularly once the regular season begins. Maybe I can squeeze in some NHL network during Intentional Talk, since I have actually written the CIA asking them to have Chris Rose and 15 assassinated as potential jihadists. Also, for the record, the Stars beat Pittsburgh in a shoot out. |

It's like having two girlfriends at the same time. You jus got to learn to juggle them. It's easy to mute baseball since the talking heads are really just white noise most of the time anyways. Besides, we're not talking about basketball with their 14 month long seasons.
And beating on the Pens in no great feat nowadays since Vegas poached our goalie. That bullshit "new expansion means automatically competitive to the point of playoff bound" bullshit is some serious bullshit. Besides, with baseball, you only get to see a good fist fight once in a blue moon. With hockey, that is like every night. Also, "because baseball is still going to be boring and worthless for about a month." You shut your whore mouth! |

You know, I love statistics and I love baseball and I truly detest all things about Barry Bonds, and after watching that video all I can say is:
A) those guys really have thought way too much about this B) and they have way too much time on their hands C) that's way more work went into this project than I have every put into anything D) and most importantly, fuck Barry Bonds. Fuck him in his juiced up ass. |

Did the Indians make a single move to get better this year? I don't remember any. As far as I can recall, the Indians got worse by losing Santana and everyone else got one year older. They'll win the division because 3/5's of the AL Central is rebuilding, but every other AL playoff team got better this offseason. Buster must be in Colorado right now. Thin air and marijuana are a potent combination. View Quote They don't need to get better until they are close to the trade deadline. They already have the ALC tied up. Now they can wait and cherry pick the guys wanted traded to post season contenders. Why blow your wad now on something that might not pan out? |

Not really. We got Yonder Alonso to replace Santana but let's be honest. He's had one good half a year in his entire career.

View Quote Although, I'd argue that it's bad enough that teams with unlimited warchests buy their way into the post-Season (NYY, I'm looking at you), I wonder how much better or worse things would be if we simply disallowed trades between Opening Day and the last game of the WS. Do all the horse trading you want in the off season, but once games count, teams go to war with the army they have (and that they have in the minor league pipeline). |

Quoted: Something that a lot of people forget is the point isn't to win the majority of 162 games. The whole point of the season is to get to the playoffs. If one team has a division sewn up before the season even starts, why bother spending the bucks to fill holes in March that may or may not exist in October? Wait until mid-August, see what you need, see who wants to jump ship from a loser to a slot aboard your train for the chance to play in late October, then get them for pennies on the dollar. Although, I'd argue that it's bad enough that teams with unlimited warchests buy their way into the post-Season (NYY, I'm looking at you), I wonder how much better or worse things would be if we simply disallowed trades between Opening Day and the last game of the WS. Do all the horse trading you want in the off season, but once games count, teams go to war with the army they have (and that they have in the minor league pipeline). View Quote Not necessarily. It just means the division is trash and 62 games are almost sure thing wins. I don't think the Indians suck or aren't capable of making the WS. But I also don't think they're the absolute best either. But easily top 5 in the AL. I'm biased but I'd personally say top 3. I also think the Indians would've beat the Astros in the playoffs last year. Especially with Verlander as a pitcher. But it means nothing because we all know how our season ended. And I don't think NYYs team was better. But they beat us and that's all that mattered. Anything can happen in the playoffs. Indians were underdogs with the worst team in the playoffs in 2016. But if you're hot at the right time and the other team is cold, upsets happen. Step one is get to the playoffs. |
