    I did give forewarning that the mac and cheese was a little heavy on the calories

    I used one of those 8 oz packaged ones cut into cubes

    1 box of Rigatoni noodles In a skillet: - Melt 1 stick butter - Add Velveta cheese - Heavy whipping cream - add salt, pepper, and nutmeg to your liking Mix the skillet sauce with the noodles, pour it all in a baking pan, and top it with cheddar cheese Put that sucker in the oven at 375 degrees until the cheese is melted on top.

    Fresh berries from a garden is one of life's simple pleasures... I've been consuming a crazy amount of peaches lately, as they're the best option for locally grown fruit right now. All of this berry and fruit talk is inspiring me to go to a Farmer's Market this weekend!

    Interesting. Shows how much I pay attention to other teams' minor league development. Quite frankly I was just surprised to read the name in AA since that process is much different compared to how the Twins handle recent pitcher draftees.

    Wow the White Sox have Zack Burdi reporting immediately to AA? How often does that happen where a recent draft pick skips all low levels and starts their career in AA? Very happy to see all of the promotions. Hope they all continue to succeed at their new level of play.

    95 deg F (but feels like 101), clear and sunny, no chance of rain Welcome to Texas summers! They do get better the longer you stay down here. Is there a Hollywood star that's bigger than the rest? It's tough to gauge these days as so many have their 15 minutes of fame and are gone in an instant...

    Close! Be happy that you'll never have to slice your own bread again!

    It's tough to say how many will be off the 40 man roster and how many need to be added at this point in time. I do think AZTwin is on the right track for his locks and potential players falling off the 40 man. Locks: Palka, Jorge, Romero, 1 of Garver or Turner I think I'd only protect 1 of the 2 catchers, depending on if Centeno re-signs with the team. I'm still holding out hope that a veteran FA C is brought on board too, like a Wilson Ramos or Geo Soto. Have no opinion either way: Wheeler, Slegers, Eades, and Granite. Thorpe I'd take the chance that he slides through Rule 5 without getting picked up.

    Oh boy do we have some goodies today! Today is National Strawberry Sundae Day! I'd say strawberry ice cream is a top 3 flavor on the ranked list of all flavors. Now that strawberries are in season, cut up some fresh ones to put on top! Today is also National Father/Daughter Take a Walk Day! A day to bond with your dad or son. So ChiTown if you're in FL, and always, take your dads out for a walk. Today is also National Macaroni Day! I just learned a new recipe for mac and cheese that is out of this world! It's a little heavy on the calorie scale, as heavy cream is involved with the recipe, but my god is it good! What's your favorite dish with macaroni involved? Finally, we all have heard the saying once or a couple hundred times, "This is the best thing since sliced bread!" Well, at one point in time there wasn't sliced bread, so that saying rang true on one particular day. That day is today! On July 7th, 1928, the first loaf of sliced bread was sold. We can all thank Otto Rohwedder for his invention of the bread slicer.

    I'm with you Bark. All-Star weekend hasn't been on my radar since the pre-teen years. Back when sports sports sports, my whole life was just sports.

    Are you sure you googled the right name? Miles "Tiny Head" Jones? Perhaps he's just known as Tiny Head Jones?

    For what?

    Twins related nugget on Fangraphs chat today: 12:16 Terry Ryan: Over/under of 1.5 trades I make by July 31st. Which side are you betting on? 12:16 Dave Cameron: Over, but they’re probably smaller deals. Santana could be an August trade, so no big rush there.
  16. Vanimal46
    I don't know if that would be enough to get Westbrook... I think the offer would look like Wiggins+Rubio+1st round pick in 2017. Which I would still do if Westbrook agreed to a contract extension.

    Interesting numbers. I would very much like to see Tonkin in higher leverage situations now that he's shown he can stick on the MLB roster.
  18. Vanimal46
    Ditto on feeling sad for the Mauer stats. The hope of him achieving even 75% of his glory year's production is dwindling fast. As someone who's continuously ripped Tonkin before this season, I am sorry and will eat crow. He's looking like he can be a solid middle inning reliever for the team going forward.

    D Santana at SS today.. Am I excited?!!!! http://replygif.net/i/957.gif

    Good job Nunez! I'll be cheering for him to shatter Miles "Tiny Head" Jones' All-Star game record of 7 times where a batting helmet falls off a player's head... Nobody's been able to break that record since 1921. We have a real contender for the record!!

    Happy National Fried Chicken Day! Your favorite place to grab fried chicken, go.

    The story on the Chicago Tribune was updated from the time I linked it: "According to police, the Chicago woman met Kang through Bumble, a location-based dating app that allows only women to initiate conversations. Kang invited the woman to his Magnificent Mile hotel room on June 17, hours after the Pirates had lost a day game to the Cubs. The woman told investigators she arrived at Kang's room at the Westin Hotel around 10 p.m. and he served her an alcoholic drink, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. She said she blacked out about 15 to 20 minutes later, then drifted in and out of consciousness as he sexually assaulted her." If this is true, then add Kang to the ever growing list of athletes I'll never cheer for again.

    I would argue that Dozier provides little to no visible leadership that we as fans can see. I could be very wrong about this, and perhaps he's working with the younger players in the cage or in the field more than we're led on. During games I don't see any young player approaching Dozier to ask for his guidance like they did with Hunter last year.

    Pirates infielder Jung-Ho Kang is the newest MLB player under investigation for a sexual assault. This occurred in Chicago while the Pirates were in town. Pirates President Frank Coonelly had this to say: "We have been made aware of the allegation that has been made against Jung Ho Kang," Pirates President Frank Coonelly said in a statement in response to questions from the Tribune about the sexual assault investigation. "We take allegations of this type extremely seriously. Pursuant to the Joint MLB/MLBPA Policy on such matters, this matter is exclusively before the Commissioner's Office at this time. We have and will continue to cooperate fully with the Commissioner's Office. As a result of the ongoing police investigation, we cannot comment further at this time. We have also advised our staff and our players that they should not comment on the matter either. We all need to be respectful to the police investigation of a very serious allegation."

    And this is coming from a known Sooners fan IIRC You are correct, Oklahoma has nothing going on for them. OKC's downtown scene is nothing special, in fact I was surprised how small it was. I was there during a big home game... Can't recall who they played, maybe the Clippers or something. Regardless it felt more like a minor league game than a prime time pro basketball game. Your prediction on attendance taking a nose dive will probably come true. It will certainly be tested this season without Durant. Once Westbrook heads for greener pastures it's going to get much worse.
