Baseball’s Hot Stove: *doesn’t do anything*

I don’t know for sure what they plan on doing, but the fact that they named Elliott Abrams as a special envoy to Venezuela probably means they are not going to sit by and let the people of Venezuela work it out themselves.

More Giada cooking, less Giada doing other things. I don’t have Food Network anymore though, so what do I care.

Dining In is a solid cookbook, that offers a lot of great recipes.  There are often variations like this included in the book, like the page on peach pie.  While I haven’t seen this recipe slap me in the face yet for some reason, I’ll have to check it out because I’m always up for a good, hearty, vegan/vegetarian…

I guess? By not using a service from the GAFA gang, you’re probably safe from that kind of thing. So I guess Signal has you covered. But it’s really touted as something to protect journos and organizers from government monitoring while they communicate. And it just doesn’t actually do that.

Seriously!  And besides, Signal is encrypted but that really only matters if you want to protect yourself while scoring some weed from your local dealer, but not if you’re doing anything serious.

Just rent a bike, don’t bother with public transit passes at all. For a european city, the metro and bus is surprisingly bad and unreliable, compared to neighboring Germany. If you’re used to US public transit, it’s about on par with that, but not as extensive as even Boston, let alone NY. It’s a small city, and the…

By your definition, every game except maybe WoW is a fad since they all get replaced.  RDR was a fad, only to be replaced by RDR2, which is also a fad and will be replaced.

It’s really a great album, that I think kind of flew under the radar of being a great album.

This is dumb

Well, that isn’t that much, compared to Xbox and PS.  Remember that 3DS launched at a price point of $249 in the US and that was 8 years ago.  

God those games are frustratingly complex.  I so badly want to be good at them, but I fail every time.

I’m surprised you have any faith left to lose.

with a Magnetbox TV and a Sorny stereo!

My teen bedroom was devoid of band posters. We hung some shit up when I was 8 in the room that I shared with my brother until I was 18, and it just never came down. I slept in the same bunk bed from 1990 to 2003, and those last few years I was very clearly too tall for it and my parents did nothing. There is a lot of…

Rivera pitched better against Boston than all other teams except LAA and the Cubs (there is some SSS noise for those teams, especially the Cubs who he only face in four games). Boston faced him 13 times over 19+ postseason innings and only scored two runs off him. It just so happens that one time it came in 2004, at…

I loved watching him pitch. As nail biting as a game against Boston could be, it always felt safe in his hands at the end. Because he was so damned good at his job. Which made it all the more devastating on the rare occasion that he didn’t deliver.  But he really did feel like he was playing at another level.

It’s funny because it’s true!

The dark kind of sucks, I’ll admit its nice to have light at 5:30 for a run, but the cold is worse.  No matter how you dress, the cold sucks.  And now that a snow/ice storm has rolled through my area, there is no safe place to run anymore, even with all sorts of lights and reflective gear.

The MLBPA needs to figure out a way to get fans on their side. It will be hard. Tony Clark is not the guy to do it.
