Oh god, my mom bought a butter bell and did NOT UNDERSTAND IT
9:25
She was just storing her butter underneath the butter bell like a cloche
and I almost lost my shit, i was MOM, HOW DO YOU THINK THIS WORKS?

LOL i never did learn how to use the butter bell, but I'm fine with keeping mine in the fridge.

JFC, I think that one was a homer before Arroyo was even done his swing
She literally thought there was a substance in the bell that kept the butter fresh, which makes no sense.
9:27
And she's not 90 or something. At the time she was like 64 and a college graduate!

Looking forward to even more obscure culinary convos now that it's 9-0 in the third.

A TD and FG still gets the lead

I don't really think the Astros are out of this, though. I think they've scored 5 runs in every single playoff game so far, six in I think more than half? They can put up runs in a hurry. Obviously they'd rather not be down 6 and the win expectancy doesn't lie but I don't think this is quite over yet.

a comeback from 6-0 was plausible, 9-0 less so.

unlike Astros, I'm still in this!

Here's one for Jeremy - next time you go to McDonald's for breakfast, see if you can get them to make you a breakfast sandwich with hash browns instead of bread.  I call it the McHangover.

Is there a mercy rule for chats? Like, if one team is up by 10 after 7, and the chat is discussing antique Ugandan kitchen utensils, is the chat over?

I’m strictly here for the food takes now. We need a good recipe to try

If you were Dusty, how would you manage the pen for the rest of this game? Try and find a hero to eat innings a la Tim Wakefield in game 3 2004? Burn through a few arms but limit the overall number of pitches for each?

See if Dallas Keuchel and Collin McHugh want to pick up some work on the side. Ask around for Scott Kazmir's number, too?

This stuff is great. I eat it all the time with corn chips, and I'm not even vegetarian. I skip the Thai chiles and just sprinkle in ground cayenne pepper until it's as spicy as I want it:

When's the last time a position player pitched in the playoffs? Ever?

I'm sure a reliever can fly up from Sugar Land in time before the game ends

We just finished 3 innings. Perhaps drive up

I know people talked about Schwarber as an underrated signing at the trade deadline in various places but I sure wasn't expecting this

Schwarber was #3 on my hitter breakout list!
