1. One of Elder Daughter's best friends used to sleep over when they were kids. No matter what the meal was, she would ask for pickles with it. Nice kid, strange taste buds.

2. I love most pickled things (particularly pickled beets & peppers), but loathe bread & butter pickles.

   What are some of the Nation’s favorite supermarket pickle brands? I’m partial to Grillo’s dill pickle chips for burgers & sandwiches.

   1. Bubbies, by a mile. They are as close as I have ever found to my grandmother's dills.

      Claussen are ok.

      I like to make my own lacto-fermented, garlic dills. But I don't have good luck with them in summer, even in my relatively cool basement.

3. I will not tolerate this bread and butter pickle slander.

   1. They really are great in some applications. E.g., pulled pork sandwiches.

4. Sorry everyone, you lost me at "pickles". I don't even know what a bread and butter pickle is. I do love dill flavored potato chips every now and then though.

   Runner daughter taking me to Furiosa today as an early Father's Day gift.

   1. Same. My eyes glazed over until I got to the "yuck".

5. Dill pickles on sandos and burgers. Ok to use a sweet pickling liquid on all other veggies. The end.

7. No game log?

   Ass bats in top form today. And Woods Richardson has been in Wiggle Mode from the start.

   1. It’s rather hard to watch the “hitting.”

   2. No help for SWR today

      1. Got some defensive help there. Doesn't get any closer. I think Blue couldn't see enough to overturn.

8. I assume Atteberry has watched clips of Roberto Clemente, because he wasn't born yet when Clemente passed.

9. All the GIDPs.

   1. Every one.

10. There's been a distressing lack of White Sockery from the opposition during this losing streak.

    1. If by Sockery you mean scoring, I heartily agree

       1. There's been quite enough scoring from the opposition.

11. Rowdy Tellez has been booed lustily by the home fans all game.

    Of course his .500 OPS jacks one to take the lead.

    He got a curtain call. 🤣

12. A bloop and a blast is all we need.

13. Catcher sprint speed.

14. Angel Hernandez-level strike call. Thank you.

15. I called Rowdy’s HR and single.

16. Well, shit.

17. Oof. I'm out.

18. Twins put the bottom third of the Pirates’ order’s OPS back over .500. 👏

19. Which player calls the players-only meeting tonight?

    1. They haven’t done that already?!

    2. They need to wait until there's a Corbin-level starter going for the other team.

       1. Doug Corbin, or Corbin Bernsen?

          1. I have no idea who Doug Corbin is. My general assumption, when that happens, is that it's a pop culture reference that I've completely missed.

             1. Maybe because I meant Doug Corbett.... 😬

                1. Ah. Him, I know.

       2. Jeremy Corbin
