I wasn’t aware of the Yankee Moat until this article. Citi Field has something similar but its much smaller, only about 5-10 rows directly behind home plate and out to the dugouts. Out by the baseline’s its still possible for the commoners to walk down and snag a ball during BP.

I am told by my uncle who hauls gravel and such in tandems and tri-axels on a regular basis that the gist is: if the gravel falls off my truck and hits your windshield, its my fault, even if it bounces on the road first. If I kick up pre-existing gravel on the road with my tire and it hits your windsheild, its not my…
This just took a fond memory of my childhood - sliding across the freshly waxed elementary school gym floor on your knees in sweats - and gave it a whole extra spine-tingling “what if” level.
That does indeed explain it!
True, thanks for the clarification.
I’ve never heard someone both know about scrapple and call it Taylor Ham (which is correct). Usually TH is more a north jersey thing whereas Scapple is popular in south jersey, where they call it Pork Roll.
I have a starter but I don’t baby it, it lives in the fridge until about a week before I want to bake when I take it out and “feed” it. People are crazy about them because they take weeks and weeks to get right - basically you have to leave flour and water out to “ferment” and attract naturally occurring bacteria. The…
Tradition in my family growing up was that if you found the bay leaf, you did the dishes. Strangely, my dad who would serve the food from the pot on the stove, never seemed to find it.
New Order has new music out, its... Eh.
I finally purchased mine after Christmas this year, from stockpiling Williams-Sonoma gift cards. I’ve been a pour over enthusiast for years but wanted to automate a bit of my morning. I went for the hotplate version, the only time I really leave coffee on it for long periods is the occasional Saturday or Sunday…

My bus driver in high school would play “smooth jazz” CD101.9 in the mornings (hello endless loop of luther vandross) and Mike & The Mad Dog in the afternoons.... So I was both very knowledgeable in when Stevie Wonder would be on tour and the latest Mets trade speculation. “Ah kay we got Bahb from Yankahs on the cah…
This exact thing happened to our family friend who has tickets in the lower level at MetLife (Giants)... He sells 9 of the 10 games a year, goes to maybe 1 per season but owns the PSL. Well someone bought his tix, got drunk and thrown out, he got a crazy warning letter on Giants letterhead. Not sure what the…
USAA, Baby. Last car I bought, they ran thru their version of True Car, so I knew exactly what the price was, walked onto the lot with a “check” from them in-hand for that amount. I had them fax over insurance papers via their excellent mobile app, and I was on the road with zero hassle in under an hour. Just finished…
I quite like how the songs on Carrie & Lowell complete the picture & tales of the characters he developed in Illinois.
The other person may need space. Give it to them. Even if its just “I’m going to read in bed for a bit while you stay in the LR and watch the game” and let them have the bed to themselves for a few hours to read or text or shop or whatever. It can make all the difference.
I was at MSG, one of those in the pit against the stage (I’m in the movie! For half a second! When the beat drops on D ‘Y C.) It was a near religious experience that I’m happy to have been a part of. Its a bit tough to lose the “last show ever” cred but frankly even as we left that night the buzz was already wondering…
