You don't see meat manufacturers trying to make meat that looks like broccoli

Also, to those considering ad-free version of membership, it is like heated seats in a car, it doesn't seem like ti would matter but as soon as you have it, you can't imagine not having it. It is a real game changer.

Well, if mom's sandwich doesn't work out, let me know. That last turkey burger's got your name on it. I have several mustards to choose from if you prefer.

Dan Szymborski

12:39

I do like various mustards, but not really on a burger!

Will July 4th be the most rootin tooting opening day ever?

Dan Szymborski

12:39

I love the term rootin tootin.

I think I used that in a neural network complete of a chili recipe

Hey Dan ty for the chat....Rank these potential events in order of likeliness to happen: Pitcher inducted into HOF with a Rockies cap on their plaque, Yankees lose 100+ games in a traditional 162 game season, we see 80+ SB in a season from a player, or a SP wins a Cy Young Award with an ERA under 1.00.

Dan Szymborski

12:42

SB, Yankees - it'll happen eventually, Rockies cap, Cy under 1.00

Dan, if you are ever feeling remorse over eating meat, remind yourself that, in terms of evolution, cows, pigs etc. are far more successful than they would otherwise be because of the fact that we eat them.

I keep losing track of the days and forget about the chatz

Dan Szymborski

12:43

I've been losing track of the month. I thought it was already May a few days ago and I didn't realize it was April and not March until like the 8th

Dbo

12:43

I saw a Reddit comment talking about how butter was abused milk and cheese was neglected milk, that’s one of the deeper comments I’ve seen

A lot of older Jays fans miss the rivalry with Detroit. Many Canadians living near the Detroit border are Tigers fans. MLB loves to push the Braves and Phillies on Toronto as "rivals", but those World Series were almost 30 years ago.

Dan Szymborski

12:43

Jays/Tigers had some fun moments in the 80s

12:44

People are surprisingly bad at geography and don't realize that Detroit is closer to Toronto than either Boston or New York are.

Billy Beane

12:45

TBH if you're eating a hamburger outside of Hamburg, it is just a meat sandwich.

scully's sweet sound

12:45

who do you think are the likeliest announcers in the modern era to become perhaps half as great as our lord and savior Vin Scully? anyone in particular you will tune in to when this whole thing is over just to listen to the broadcast?

Dan Szymborski

12:45

I don't think there is one - broadcasters dont' have the baseball cultural heft they used to

Todd

12:45

Will you be running a Zips projection for the rumored 3 division league? Curious to see which team would benefit the most in that scenario

Dan Szymborski

12:45

I will be doing that next week!

Have you been watching the bulls documentary? Which baseball player is most likely to take 48 hours off to go to Vegas?

Dan Szymborski

12:46

I have not.

Puig?

Dbo

12:46

That’s just false Billy Beane, is New England clam Snowden only in New England?

Dan Szymborski

12:47

snowden?

Sam

12:47

What is clam Snowden?

Dan Szymborski

12:47

I THINK DBO HAS A HYPERLOCAL FOOD TERM

Numpty

12:48

Clam Snowden is the new plant-based chowder from Boca Burger

Dan Szymborski

12:48

plant based chowder?

Guest

12:48

How much (roughly) is chat volume down compared to last year at this point?

Dan Szymborski

12:48

Chat volume is down a LOT

12:49

I'm under 100 readers which never came close to happening in any chats ever before the last month

Sam

12:49

Corn chowder does exist

Dbo

12:49

Stupid autocorrect

MoKo

12:49

Most likely to be dodgers ss in 22: Seager Lux or other?
