Ask Aggies. He loves BK.

I used to. Their tenders used to be the bomb.com

LOVE watching Colon. He does well and has fun doing so. I'm in favor of he and Santana both on the staff for next season BECAUSE of experience, production, leadership, and the damn fun they seem to have! (Well...fun in Colons case at least).

 To each his own. Hey - maybe Nathan could come on board, too! And the original Johan Santana next year! Santana squared!

You know what I (cautiously optimistically) think? I think we are seeing the emergence of a team that will seriously contend for several years starting next year. Gotta get a starter or two and a closer, but I think our lineup can give opposing teams fits.

You ate at BK????????

There's one near work. I'll drive thru there maybe a couple times a month for lunch.

[jimmer]

 

Yeah. Nothing special.

Thanks. I don't eat fast food, but I like Chicken Parm so I was curious.

Worst chicken parm ever is at Olive Garden. I don't understand why people go there. Although I will say the breadsticks are wonderful.

Tonight was a great display of just how Buxton can take over a game without even swinging a bat.

 

He's turning into quite the player. Watching him progress this year has been awesone.

[Darius]

This may have been mentioned, or maybe it's wrong, but did they really only record 1 K, and not until the 9th? And they only gave up 1 run? Interesting.

yeah, I can't eat Olive Garden's Chicken Parm either.  I actively avoid Olive Garden.

I've heard they get meals prepackaged and just defrost or heat some of their main meals up.

Yep, I heard that too. If you live in an area with decent Italian restaurants, there's no excuse to go to OG

The only reason to go to Olive Garden is to remind yourself of why you avoided the place to begin with. Uggh.

The rumor is that in there, you're family. That's just what I heard though.

For some reason, three going away lunches at Olive Garden have been held for people in my office in the last year.  I get soup and salad.  Never order an actual meal.

In other news, I will be seeing my new avatar-sake Buck Showalter in person tonight at Fenway. I think I have no particular rooting interest, and just ask for a good game.

It was not. 13-3 in favor of the visiting Orioles. The Red Sox had more errors (5) than runs, and for a while more errors than hits (6). The O's failed to cover themselves in glory, by committing 3 errors of their own, but they just banged out hit after hit against a defenseless^* Porcello. On the plus side, the Sox fans were in a party mood on a beautiful summer night in Boston, and Sweet Caroline has as much poignancy when the home team is far behind in the eighth inning as when they're ahead.

Exactly. Just like Mom used to make for us.
