    Nah, I wanna see a 65-year-old Giancarlo Esposito play an 18-year-old Gus transforming into a chicken & meth kingpin. 

     

    How do you do, fellow kids' has become the 'how do you do, fellow kids' of  memes - The Verge

    Or an 80+ year old Jonathan Banks playing a 22 year old rookie cop in Philly.

    Big Donkey hit 40 5 years in a row, 6 total, finished with 462, but never finished higher than #21 in MVP voting.  

     

    I think the high strike outs hurt him.  His best years were kind of prior (at least I think) to analytics really becoming an important part of baseball. 

    ETA:  Playing for Cincinnati didn't help him either.  That's probably the biggest issue.

  3. I can't really fault him for giving Pujols a start yesterday since Philly was going with a bullpen game. 

    I also won't fault Oli for much.  I place the blame entirely on Mo.  He just pisses me off.  When he talks, the inflection of his voice always rises at the end of a statement, like he's asking a question.  Girsch does the same thing and it annoys the shit out of me.  It sounds like neither of them actually know what they are talking about.  Oh, and they suck at their jobs.  I don't know if the fault lies with Mo or the DeWitts, but Mo just irritates me.

  4. Good quote from Edmonds last night

    I'm paraphrasing, but:  You can't get it close if you don't score any runs.

    Then when they were talking about the likelihood of some coach in Arenado's past telling him to stop being Nolan, Edmonds says something like "well, coaches tell elite athletes that all the time!  I had a coach tell me..."

    He just likes to talk about himself.

    Foil boat and a 12+ hour heated rest @ 155 degrees in a counter top turkey roaster.  Even better is to rest it in a sous vide.  You can do everything wrong and those two things will get that brisket to well above Rudy's quality. Get most things right and those two things turn that brisket up to 11 on par with Franklin.  I thought the foil boat was gimmicky until I tried it. 

    Check out Chud's BBQ on Youtube for details. 

     

     

    I'm a fan of Chud's videos.  I have not tried the foil boat just yet, but I'll give that a go next time. 

     

    The last brisket I smoked was Mother's Day weekend.  A lot of rain was in the forecast, so I made it the day before.  I put sealed it and did the sous vide thing on Sunday.  It was definitely the best I have made.  Still quite a bit of room for improvement, but it does satisfy my brisket cravings.

  6. I moved from Austin to Missouri about 8 years ago and for some reason have eaten at BBQ places here a few times.  To further add to my bad decision history, I ordered brisket each time.  I have since started to learn how to smoke my own brisket and it's currently below average to average based on standards back home, but it's still the best I have had in Missouri.

    ETA:  I did go to KC once and got some ribs there that were excellent...  brisket, not so much.

    Was fun watching Pujols pitch until he started giving up multiple bombs. 

    Also, how a MLB player like Gonzalez throws in the 40's vexes me.   

    I was expecting to see the Cardinal batters get in the back of the box and then do the shuffle/slide up in the box like they do in softball.

  8. I think Lalo is killed and disposed of in the underground future meth lab and Jimmy never finds that out.  Or, maybe that's too easy. 

    Howard's investigator is going to find some shit on Kim in his tailing of Jimmy and she goes away.  Again, maybe too easy.

  9. This front office is a fucking beating.  So they finally decide to send DeJong to Memphis, but instead of bring up Gorman, they opt for Kramer Robertson.  Who the fuck is Kramer Robertson, you ask?  Well, he's a 27 year old that's been tearing it up in Memphis hitting .225 with 3 home runs and an OBP of .380.  DeJong will probably hit .400 in Memphis and pop 15 home runs in 2 weeks and they'll bring back up so that he can resume his flirtation with the Mendoza line.

  10. I hate the Mets almost as much as I hate the Cubs. Gallegos cost them the game tonight. They finally get Scherzer out of the game tied, get a 2 run lead, then Gallegos fucks it all up. I don't usually get upset about 1 loss in the regular season, but this one is just stupid.
