which turned out badly so far, but I still think it was good at the time

are the astros needlessly looking for another 1b/DH bat? why not give the job to tyler white?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

Astros are fairly risk-averse in the position theyr'e in

tbone steak

12:51

when is the realmuto drama ending? What do the Dodgers offer to get it done?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

Drama can last a long time. How many years was Quintana and Dozier in trade rumors?

Matt W

12:51

Probably tough to do without further stunting his offensive development, but should Amed Rosario become a CF? Mets have a similar talent in Gimenez on the way and nobody in the minors who profiles as an above average CF.

Dan Szymborski

12:52

No, leave him at SS

George

If you were in the O's front office, how would you tackle the rebuild? Seems like tanking may be the only option bc the farm is bad and there isn't enough mlb talent to get big returns.

Dan Szymborski

12:53

The O's are like buying a house and all the copper pipes are stripped but then you realize they weren't stripped, it's just that nobody thought to install running water or electricity in the first place

12:54

And you realize that grampappy mcgillicuddy' was using his own poop to grow sorghum

I recommend you do try it, Dan. Go to Whole Foods, get a second mortgage first, then get the beyond burger, chao cheese, arugula, an avocado, smart “bacon”, and some pretzel buns. Put those all together and enjoy it while being in alignment with your worldview.

Meat eaters don't eat "rotting flesh" anymore than vegetarians eat "rotting vegetables". Refrigerators and freezers exist!

Dan Szymborski

12:54

Well, those century eggs

Matt W

12:54

Why would you bake meatloaf in a doughnut pan when you can so easily use a bundt pan?

Dan Szymborski

12:55

If you want to make mashed potato icing and fool someone into believing it was an iced doughnut

It's fun to mess with people

My mom once came over and I was eating hummus and she got really nosy about it, so I told her it was sweet almond cream and to try some and she almost go sick from the surprise - she likes hummus but it was just so much against expectations

Not mean but regressing

12:55

Most annoying food that people eat at baseball games?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

funnel cake

I've never been next to someone with a funnel cake and not had powdered sugar get on me

Though it's not so bad at press boxes. I just wander off and grab a bite then come back

12:57

In your opinion, which franchise achieves a good or acceptable results with the most flawed process?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

Rockies?

Matt

12:57

Do you think that legally changing my orientation to pineapple would be a good idea? I have to imagine that pineapples wouldn't be expected to work.

Dan Szymborski

12:57

You have to sharpen your outsides so that ruffians don't get your sweet juices

Mike

12:57

You and my mother-in-law have similar opinions about vegetarian chili. However, I must say, the vegetarian chili I made for my wife last night was quite delicious...

Dan Szymborski

12:57

It's fine to do that and everything, it's just not chili!

12:58

I'm not going to die hamburger and stew meat green, throw it in a bowl with croutons, and call it salad!

Non-Vegan

12:58

Why would I want not meat to look like meat? When I can just eat the real thing that tastes and looks... Like meat (or dead rotting flesh as the attempts to guilt us put it).

Dan Szymborski

12:58

Now, the food thing that bothers me

Is honey packaging

12:59

There is a lot of honey that gives you a bear.

A bear shaped bottle.

BEARS DO NOT *MAKE* HONEY

If you're squeezing syrup from Mrs. Butterworth or Aunt Jemima you can at least believe it's representing them bringing you syrup

1:00

but a bear does not make honey and does not bring you or give you honey

Phil Diggety

As a vegan, I eat fake meats and cheeses because I think think they're delicious (the good ones)

Matt

1:00

Isn't meatloaf just compressed chili?

Dan Szymborski

1:00

I'm calling the cops

Matt

There was a place in Chicago called the Meatloaf Bakery. They made cupcake-sizes meat loafs, frosted with mashed potatoes, and sprinkled with chives. I shed a tear because I just love this country so damn much.
