1. This is here.

   1. I’m ignorant ... why Hogtown?

      1. A major pork abattoir was located in Toronto for quite a long time.

         1. Major pork /Squints/ ‘abattoir’ hmph ... abattoir? Abattoir...abattoir, /thumbs through dictionary/ Oh! Slaughterhouse gotcha .

            1. Figured I should use the word with the French root.

2. Hi everybody!

   1. Evening, meat.

   2. HI MEAT!!!

3. Decidedly not on the grill: Tofu spring rolls. Yeah, we're forgoing the pork for the vegetarian variety because we're trying not to eats the meats.

   1. Can't you give up abstinence?

      1. I didn't give up booze.

   2. I’ve pretty much given up salt for the sake of my vascular health. And like the good book says, life, or at least food, has lost a lot of its flavor.

      1. Jesus wept.

   3. Cauliflower carbonara here tonight. I still owe the nation a recipe post from last week.

   4. Burrito bowls here. Taco-ified ground turkey, riced cauliflower (in place of rice), black beans, and corn. Add accoutrements as desired.

      So incredibly good. Can only eat one bowl, though. They're deceptively filling.

      1. Yum

   5. Did roasted sweet potatoes and rainbow carrots and a bourbon marinade (packet style, not scratch, but whatevs) bottom round steak, pan-seared and finished in the oven.

      1. Pan-fried pork chops with a marsala-butter pan sauce, brown rice and green beans.

         And an Anderson Valley Extra Dry Brut IPA.

         1. I went with grilled salmon, a tomato-cucumber-blue cheese salad, and a Caesar salad. Plus some frozen peas so the kids would eat some vegetables. And a fair amount of Bulleit Rye. It's been that kind of day.

4. Twins are pretty good with the get-back runs this year. A graphic the other day showed 48% of the time.

5. Polanco is the second best player in the AL, according to RWAR. Sixth according to Fangraphs.

   He's just been a machine.

   1. And he's a shortstop.

      1. Better make him the captain.

6. I turned on the TV and caught Jack Morris pondering how a 1960s team would do today playing the same way. Talk about living down to my expectations...

   1. I was totally 'get off my lawning' out loud during that. Dr. Chop humored me.

   2. I would rather listen to Bert than Jack.

      1. Yeah, at least Bert seemed to be enjoying himself. Jack at times seems to hate baseball.

         1. At times?

7. Is it just my feed, or does it seem like Dick’s just a step quick in his calls? Like on a strikeout, he’s calling it before a person could reasonably process that it’s a strike.

   1. I've noticed that too.

      1. So, Dick is a robot ump, huh. I wouldn't have guessed.

         1. A lot of his shtick certainly seems pre-programmed.

8. Nelson Cruz is back.

9. Danny Santana just hit an RBI double for the Rangers. Yeah.

   1. Did he knock in Laddie?

10. Now it's time to cycle through some relievers and see who doesn't have their stuff tonight

11. Good.

12. Release the hounds

13.
