Okay ... all the 'above counter' cupboards are done. It's amazing how much waste ... mostly cooking/baking stuff, where I bought ingredients (a spice or oil or vinegar or something) for a recipe and then never used it again. Or, things from food gift baskets where I think, 'Hmm, I guess I'll eat this' and then don't.

How much of the vinegar was bought as wine?

Can't believe you said no has to be yes.

Yes, no ... I'd like Pujols get to #700 ... don't care about Judge

[h2oface]

Miranda is one tough guy. Didn't phase him when he got hit on the wrist a week or so ago, either.

[USAFChief]

Make some contact here Gordon. 

 

Edit: qualifies

I saw this question on Reddit today. Would you rather see Pujols hit 700 career HRs or Judge hit 62+ HRs this year?

Albert. But I'm particularly hoping he gets to 697.

I rarely ever have to buy wine because I get gifted so much of it ... and I don't drink a lot of it (if any) ... usually regift or nice to have on hand for guests

[Vanimal46]

GORDON GRAND SLAM!!!

[Danchat]

FLASH GORDON!!!!!!!!

[Squirrel]

Isn't that his 2nd GS of the year, too?

[AceWrigley]

Oh my freakin' gourd.

[stocker08]

Double in the first and now a grand slam.  This is why I questioned Rocco having Kepler higher in the lineup.

There is absolutely no way that Arby’s Philly cheesesteak will look that way if you order it at their establishment. 

Fifteen years or so ago, a lady I was working with called in to Papa Johns to complain that that there weren't as many pepperonis on her pizza as was in the picture. Next day, they sent out enough for all of our student workers.

Glad a took a break to see that! Now it's back to cupboards

So...all of it then?

Man talk about a bad 0-2 pitch.

 

Hahahaha

At this point, I couldn't care less ... he got it done from where he was ... would you rather bases were loaded for Kepler?

[IndianaTwin]

Sox broadcaster: Error, walk, hit batter, 0-2 grand slam. 

[h2oface]

Wow. Nick IS the Man

 

 

[Aggies7]

Wow

[wsnydes]

Gordon having himself a day.

He has 6 RBI. Seems to me his placement in the order is GENIUS!!1!!!1

 

[IndianaTwin]

So easy, even a Nickman can do it.

It's Jake Cave's world. We just live in it.

Did I say Jake Cave?  I meant Nick Gordon.  Damn spell check!

[Twins_Fan_For_Life]

Cave, the hero.  Now Nick Gordon.   Team of Destiny!

[AceWrigley]

Gordon and Cave seven, Red Sox four. Who da thunk it.

Another one.  He has those once in a while.   I way, way misunderestimated him.

I’ve been fooled many times in my existence by how good the food looks in a commercial. I remember this bad boy from KFC in 2000 and begged my parents to get it. 

It was a sloppy, disgusting mess.

He wouldn't have been in position to drive in 6 runs if they were swapped in the order.

[IndianaTwin]

Sox broadcaster said Verdugo was beside himself in right field after the Gordon homer. Isn't it against the rules to have 10 guys on defense in a baseball game?
