    1. I'm making dinner for the kids. Wife went to chiro appt.
      Boiling up frozen Kramarczuk's venison Polish Sausage.
      I'm actually kind of sick of these. We'll get something new next year.

      Part of the problem is that our chest freezer went out a few times over the summer, and things started to thaw. Mostly venison livers, bananas (once they go brown we freeze them to use in banana bread), and these polish sausage. Now everything that was in the freezer has this smokey, banana-y, liver-bloody flavor to it. Just ick.

      1. Well, I didn't realize how early the game started.
        I figured it'd be a 5 or 6pm central start for one game and an 8 or 9pm central start for the next. I guess they've gotta get NYY into full prime-time.

            1. Yeah, I really like her. I remember mentioning it when I got to her first appearance in Deadwood. I think Treme's awesomeness is for a ton of reasons, many of them being David Simon, but she sure gets into some great projects.

              1. I didn't want to spoil it, though, but I didn't quite think the show clicked. It's enjoyable, but not quite there. Maybe it's because every time David Simon creates a character for Melissa Leo, she becomes the most annoyingly godawful character that grinds every plot to a screeching halt.

  3. Rays loading the bases with one out, trailing 4-1. For everyone but the Twins, that normally leads to runs, right?

    1. When you're facing a pitcher that keeps walking guys, obviously you need to swing right away, or you might not get another chance.

    1. I loved how he started that statement, "he's a first pitch fast ball hitter.... ... ... ... . . . He's a first pitch anything hitter..."

      1. He had to correct himself when he realized the replay was showing it wasn't a fastball.

    1. I'm happy that del is having a good postseason, but I'm more happy that he'll be playing somewhere else next season.

      1. Watching Delmon hit the ball the opposite way and take rational routes to fly balls has been hilarious.

        It makes the game even more entertaining.

    1. Brooklyn has hit the big time, er, small time, as I can purchase it at my local grocery store.

      1. Wegman's beer selection keeps getting bigger and bigger. We don't need no stinkin' Trader Joe's.

        1. Trader joe's was great for some things, and not so great for others. My local grocery carries almost all the chimay offerings, sierra nevada + torpedo, young's stout, a bunch of deschute's, + lone star, and lone star light. I don't do too badly for selection, but holy cripes they want way too much for their offerings.

          1. No kidding. I have a question for the nation's drunks craft beer connoisseurs; if any major micro brewery made their offerings available in 24 packs, you would immediately skew your purchases towards that brewery? Very few craft beers are even available in 12 packs, Great Lakes, Seirra Nevada, Harpoon,(New Belguim?),are it. I usually make an effort to reward them for their packaging. If only more breweries would take notice. I would totally buy cases of Brooklyn Lager and maybe even drink nothing else. Price it at $30 a case and people will buy it. We spend $10 for a six pack, $16+ for a twelver, we will pay the money. Just let us buy in bulk so we make fewer trips.

            /end rant/

            1. I'd buy more in bulk if I got a better price...

              One of the local breweries makes a solid product, but at 8.99 (on sale) a sixer their IPA isn't worth it when I can buy 6 torpedoes for 7.49 ...

              1. One night I might get drunk enough to e-mail several beer companies asking them why they don't do cases. It isn't like I am asking for 30 packs. I drink responsibly.

                1. I once e-mailed labatt's because two bottles broke when I tried to twist the caps off, and they sent me a coupon for a free 12 pack. I balls blue.

            2. I ended up buying three 12-packs of Schell's and two of Hauenstein last time I was in NU because they were $10.99 each ($9.99 for the Hauie). My wife thought I overdid it, but, as long as I don't drink lots more than I do otherwise, I still come out ahead.

                1. I read a good review and then when I tried to find it, it wasn't available, because Schell's had to put all their capacity towards Nordeast. They've since expanded.

                  I don't find the Hauie that bad, but it's not that good, either. Just something to mix up the Primo as my American Lager of Choice and High Life as my father's. (More than half of the time I'm buying American Lagers, it's because he's coming to visit. In his defense, he did introduce me to Brau Brothers, picking up four sixers the first time he drove through town. He's just not that into hops.)

                  1. I am amenable to low-hopped brews. It's just that Hauie, to my recollection, was in a class with Pfeiffers, Wisco Premium, Rhinelander(?) and other rotgut brands.

                    I drank a lot of Blatz back in the day. Waaaay better than Hauie, which is not saying all that much. Now, mebbe times (and recipes) have changed since the dark ages....

                    May I suggest Hamm's? They still make Hamm's, right?

                    1. from the Repository:

                      Hamm's is often one of the cheapest beers found on the shelf - roughly $1–$2 less than most national brands for a 30-pack is common. This factor has made it enduringly popular with drinkers on a budget, like college students.

            3. if any major micro brewery made their offerings available in 24 packs, you would immediately skew your purchases towards that brewery?

              what do you mean "if"???

              I have purchased cases of Sierra Nevada, Deschutes, Sudwerk, the late, great Sacramento Brewing, New Belgium, and Anderson Valley, respectively, at Costco.

              1. Costco only sells cases in their wholesale clubs, so, I'd count that as the exception that proves the rule.

                  1. oh, have I mentioned that Costco sells whole, boneless prosciutto di parmas (18+ lbs) for $200, S&H included?

                    I and my Davisville brah are trying to work a deal.

                  2. In Texas they have a separate liquor store that is open to the public that sells no cases, only 12 packs.

    2. My hatred of all things Yankees supersedes my contempt for Danice McCelebrator.

      1. Though the Detroit radio guys calling Dancie McDumbdumb Papa Grande is really ticking me off.

        2. Papa Grande, Big shot on la Costa Este?
