It’s Hall of Fame Weekend! Your Saturday Early Thread

Greetings from a smoke tinged L.A. County!

Yeah, there’s another big goddamn fire burning north of here. It’s a strange colored sky, overcast but not with marine layer, more burnt orange.

UPDATE: At 4:00 this afternoon this is what it looked like from my back balcony.

fire use this

The fire is in Santa Clarita and has burned over 11,000 acres since yesterday afternoon and is 10% contained. One of the drawbacks to living in SoCal.

Anyway, this weekend is baseball’s Hall of Fame Induction Weekend. Today they will be presenting the Ford C. Frick Award for broadcasting to Graham McNamee who I honestly don’t really know anything about. If you want to question the validity of the inductions all you have to do is notice that they are giving Dan Shaughnessey the J.G. Taylor Spink Award for writing. Yeah, fucking Shaughnessey, I guess if you throw enough shit at the wall eventually something sticks.

Jesus, fucking Shaughnessey.

The big induction(s) are tomorrow when The Kid, Ken Griffey Jr. is inducted. No questions this fucking guy was one of the best I’ve seen play. On his last go round I saw him play at Dodger Stadium, there was this kid, maybe 8-9 years old who was awestruck to be near Griffey. He was playing long toss during warm ups and I told this kid, “Junior’s a cool guy, go get an autograph.” The kid was a little nervous and didn’t really know about that so I walked down the steps got right up next to the field and addressed Junior “Love and respect, Junior. Love and respect. It’s been an honor and a privilege to watch you play!” He gave me a quick turn of the head, a smile and a nod. I go back to the 8-9 year old kid and say “See! He’s approachable” The kid runs down to The Kid and gets his baseball glove signed by Junior. Very cool.

Tomorrow they will induct Mike Piazza also.

What The Fuck Ever. I don’t see it.

A few years back brother DJ Taj and I made the trip to Cooperstown as any good baseball fan should and it was fucking gorgeous. We tied the trip in with a couple of games at Pittsburgh’s PNC Park AKA the best stadium in baseball.

PNC

Here’s a shot of the Roberto Clemente Bridge walking in.

pittsburgh

 

After Pittsburgh we flew into Syracuse and drove to Cooperstown. Guys? It’s like a really long drive. Beautiful but really long across Upstate New York. When you get to Cooperstown it’s as incredible a town as you will ever see. Drop dead gorgeous. I would retire there if it didn’t turn into the South Fucking Pole during the winter.

The Hall itself is almost church like. Here are the original 5.

original 5

That’s pretty much the Hall right there. The baseball museum though, that’s the shit. They’ve got everything.

Here’s Lou Gehrig’s locker.

Here’s Ernie Banks stuff.

Each team has an area to appease all fans.

Easily for me the highlight of Cooperstown was this place.

The Yum Yum Shack! Best goddamn clam strips EVER!!!!

After visiting the Hall we drove back to Syracuse for one last trip highlight.

Dinosaur Barbecue!

I’m obviously a food guy.

So there! A regular goddamn itinerary for the Hall of Fame.

Go Visit. Eat! Drink! Go in the spring or fall.

This thread is officially OPEN!

I’m going to get some work at the gym, then I’m making a 40 mile round trip to get a key ingredient for next week’s Sunday Gravy then there’s this Creole place in Mid City I’ve been meaning to visit.

Get after it peoples!

JerBear50

That would be your problem right there. Find some good alt-country/outlaw country and Americana bands and it’s a completely different thing.

I’d have to say that if you’re a Bob Evans franchise owner and your restaurants don’t have the Gravy Machine then you are bad and you should feel bad.

Probably the only advantage of the suburbs, private outdoor space. I would love being out naked in the rain right now, but nope, neighbors, shared deck, etc.

Goddamn HOAs. Always spoiling the possibility of fun.

Doktor Zymm

I don’t think there’s anything specific in the rules about it, and I have had some fun late night up on the rooftop deck when I knew no one would be wandering by, but I should maintain a respectable facade with these people.

The Maestro

Spent all morning puking my guts up. Still have no idea what caused it all. Haven’t gotten out of bed otherwise all day. At least the vomit has stopped but I was pretty sure my head was gonna detach itself from my body from headache pain earlier.

Anyways, hope your day is better than mine!

Doktor Zymm

Food poisoning? Feel better.

Weird, I was supposed to bartend tonight and went to BP’s for lunch and have been sick ever since. As you are also from Canadia you know that no one really should eat at BP’s and I deserve this. Hope you feel better as well.

Sill Bimmons

If I were a polite Canadian I would probably refrain from making some sort of joke about this being divine retribution for your abysmal CFL handicapping.

But I’m a rude American, so there you go.

Commentists thoughts on the bland Catholic white guy HillRod named to be her VP?

Clear nod to court the (less-radical) GOP voting bloc that won’t stump for Trump. Dude seems like the political equivalent of hospital food. I don’t consider it an inspired choice, but at this point, the serious Dem supporters will shill for just about anything if it means ultimately defeating a fascist on the Republican ticket.

Most country is pop shit, but alt country is great. This is probably the only reason I would move to FL.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It really is amazing how much better alt country is than regular country.

Doktor Zymm

It’s just old country, which is the weird thing. Old country required musical talent and a substance abuse problem, which is the recipe for good fucking music. Regular country is, like I said, just fucking pop.

Kungjitsu

No cowboy hats or boots, no Murican flags, no pickup trucks. How is this country?

Also, Florida is great. The heat index was 105 degrees at 10am. But it’s almost 8pm now, so the heat index has dropped below triple digits to a crisp 98 degrees.

Doktor Zymm

Heat index is for pussies. If you can’t chew the air you’re fine. I’m all about complaining, but shit really ain’t bad in Chicago. Sure, the heat index is over 100, but I grew up with this, you ain’t seen nothing.

JerBear50

Mainstream country stations are not even programmed in my car. It’s a completely different thing than alt. Sirius’ Outlaw Country channel is fucking kick-ass though.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Drove up Vermont on the way home and it pretty much dominated the skyline. It’s pretty wild.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

It’s so fucking hot in DC that I’ve been indoors since 3 and don’t plan to go back out until the sun sets. Marinating some chicken in a little hoisin-soy-garlic-etc sauce so the lady and I can dine on homemade lettuce wraps shortly.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Korean fried chicken and watermelon and prosecco. I ain’t straying from in front of the TV for a while.

Doktor Zymm

Damn right and well done. Enjoy.

Doktor Zymm

So this has come up recently. While Revenge of the Nerds is a good movie, that one scene is totally rape. I can’t help but think that it contributed to the current Silicon Valley dude bro culture.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Impersonating someone else to have sex with his girlfriend is definitely rape.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

What about if you *think* she knows who you are when you’re fooling around, but then later you find out she thought you were someone else?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

That sucks for everyone but her

Sill Bimmons

The whole film is full of WTF moments like that.

Definitely some felonious shit going on there.

It’s Always Sunny brought that into my frontal cortex with their “ski lodge” 80s parody episode this past season. NEVER CROSSED MY MIND at the time, though in my defense, I was like 11.

Okay, this will be the last beer for a while. I apparently have a date with someone from last night that I have in my phone as ‘dude’. I really should make more of an effort with names and not just call all men ‘guy’ like I call all cats ‘cat’.

Pedantic fun fact: we all know the Chinese new year celebration is in the spring, early Feb or something. So, when you’re at a Chinese restaurant you can point out to anyone born in January is actually the zodiac sign of the year before.

I do enjoy being pedantic with random ass facts.

In case you all were wondering, the massage was pretty awesome.

Doktor Zymm

I think I’ve decided against the whole internet dating thing. One weekend night out is enough to deal with dammit. I’ve really overly adapted to living alone. The right dude wouldn’t object to my no pants indoors policy, but he would probably drink my beers and not bring his own, so fuck that.

JustStopDude

I get a lot of shit from my family for not settling down long term.

I’m with you sister. The pros don’t outweigh the cons. I don’t mean this to sounds like I am some cad that just screws around. I am actually quite conservative when it comes to my own personal life. But especially with my job…where I can spend six months in one place…and then spend the next 12 weeks in 12 different countries, its fucking brutal on long term relationships.

And pants are just modern day prisons. I reserve the right of a nudity policy 24/7 in my apartment.

Doktor Zymm

I really don’t understand why men got away from robes as formal wear. I can wear a dress, which is better. But yeah, this is my castle, and if you get over the moat you best believe it’s only temporary.

Doktor Zymm

It doesn’t mean I don’t like you, but sleeping in an X shape is worth it.

Super True Today-Oriented Event-Based Story-

-wife’s sister borrows wife’s van for 7 hour trip (with 4 small children) because sister’s van AC is done and temps down south are insane
-one hour into trip, wife’s van’s AC fails, sister keeps on traveling
-yours truly offers company van (with fully-functioning AC) to wife
-wife makes plans to travel 5 hours to switch-out vehicles
-35 minutes into said trip her driver’s-side front tire pops

Doktor Zymm

Driving is for suckers (says person who works for automotive industry company)

herodotus450

I see places offering AC recharges all the time, but I’ve also heard that, unless it is leaking, that should never actually be needed. The refrigerant is in a closed loop.

Doktor Zymm

After multiple years, even without a leak, a freon recharge does wonders. And it’s like $60, totally worth it in most parts of the country.

herodotus450

I have noticed that on a new car, it didn’t take 5 minutes of max ac before I could touch the steering wheel. But why? Does it just evaporate or sublimate or whatever through the cooling system pipes and reservoirs? I guess there are probably hose junctions and the like where it will leak out no matter what, very slowly.

Doktor Zymm

Yeah, that’s as close as I can figure. It’s less of a closed system than a refrigerator.

Doktor Zymm

Point of clarification, it’s not actually normal for someone to propose marriage just because I bought a double round, right? Is that how Vegas marriages happen?

Fronkenshteen

Is that two rounds back-to-back? Or a round of doubles of straight booze?

Doktor Zymm

Two beers, two vodka sodas for me. I was too drunk to run a tab and they had a credit card minimum.

Fronkenshteen

(You’re a guy. You’re in a Vegas bar slumped over a beer. You had a shitty day at the tables. You’re just thinking about paying your tab and heading to a go-go bar, because it’s your only chance at interacting with women, but you know everything is going to be fake, expensive, & moronic there. Also, bad music. You shudder.)
[DOOR FLIES OPEN]
(In rolls Dok Zymm like Dangerfield in the pro-shop. (Hey, orange balls! Gimme a box of them, two of those, some of those naked lady tees…) she SITS RIGHT BESIDE YOU.)
“Anyone sittin’ here pal? Hey great, great, ok. What are you drinking, beer? Hey gimme a vodka and get my friend another one of whatever he’s having. What? Listen, baby, I’m too fucked up to figure this out without my abacus. How ’bout if you get us two each, does that put a smile back on your face? Ok? Fine. You’re not going anywhere, are you pal? I need someone to help me drink all this BOOZE, for the love of Mike. I try to cut back on beer since I play tennis. What do I do? I’m a doctor…”
Yeah, you’re gonna get some marriage proposals that way.

[Hate-watching “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives”]

I love seeing the disparate folks that are trying to make their dream come true but then Fieri inserts his douche into the proceedings…

JustStopDude

I kind of do the same thing with the house flipping, home improvement shows. I think its because I used to do it after I got out of the military and was waiting to start college/in college. I worked for a family fried who ran a pretty tight shop. I did the demo and was basically the head guy when it came to the site management.

These cable tv shows make me laugh my ass off because half the time its obvious they are not meeting code or they don’t have permits. The numbers they come up with make no fucking sense. You’ll see them use material in a bathroom that is only possible because the show as a deal with the supplier…cause no one fucking sinks $80k into the bathrrom of a two bedroom, one bath home that is only worth like $210k on the market.

I imagine it would be the same way for cooking shows if I could manage to pour milk into cereal and not burn it…

scotchnaut

I think the scam with this sort of cooking program is that the show reaches out to various businesses and tells them something along the lines of-“After we show your place on our nationally-broadcast program, you’re going to get a significant bump in sales. We’ll do this for “X” amount of dollars that at the very least covers our production costs. How about it?”

Sill Bimmons

I know the owner of 10th Ave. Burrito in Belmar, a place that was on the show a long time ago.

He said that they were really professional, paid for everything they ate, and were in and out in a weekend without ever affecting the way the place ran.

I don’t know how other shows work or if things on DDD have changed since Donkey Sauce became a big shot, but that’s the one piece of firsthand evidence I have that he’s not a complete jackwagon.

scotchnaut

How long ago was that?

Sill Bimmons

I can’t find the broadcast date but I know it was before I moved to Australia in 2009 because I went there a few times after I saw the episode and it was one of the last place I went before I left.

Sill Bimmons

2010. I moved in 2010.

Horatio Cornblower

Fieri certainly looks like a douche and his restaurants, (at least Johnny Garlic’s which for some reason our office staff loves), are terrible, but I like DDD. Gives a lot of publicity to local Mom & Pop restaurants and never comes off as belittling them.

There a LOT of worse food shows out there.

Sill Bimmons

I love Cooperstown.

It is especially awesome when you can crash at somebody’s house while you’re visiting.

It is quite the accurate carbon copy of Camden Yards. Or blatant ripoff…you known…tomato tomato…

But the skyline isn’t Baltimore, so default win.

For Pittsburgh.

Doktor Zymm

Baltimore doesn’t have a horrible skyline. I dig the Domino’s sign and the clocktower.

JustStopDude

Hey Pittsburg has a proud history of racism, organized crime, de-industrialization, and drug problems.

Its like Baltimore…except no one fucking cares enough to make a show about it because the accents would be annoying as fuck.

Doktor Zymm

Good old Ballsitchmore.

Sill Bimmons

They also have the Grays and the Crawfords, the Pittsburgh Courier, and the total revitalization of a broken city through investment in technology and medicine.

As for organized crime and drug problems, I’m not really finding anything apart from the 1985 Pittsburgh Drug Trials, and I’m pretty sure that every city and every sport had a massive cocaine problem at the time.

In any case, hands up those of you who’d rather live in Baltimore than Pittsburgh!

Additional question, when did people become so ass oriented? Other than the Sir Mix-A-Lot song, I don’t really remember it being a thing in high school. Did it just become fashionable, or is that a thing guys have always liked that just became more okay to acknowledge?

...

It’s always been a thing, but it’s very much a personal taste thing. Maybe it’s the case more men prefer it now, but I’ve run into a diversity of preferences for body type.

I have the good fortunate that every time I see my parents, they’ll ask me about politics. It was nice to get in a nice five-minute “Fuck Bernie Sanders” rant to people who wouldn’t turn into lunatics when I did it.

Which reminds me: Fuck Bernie Sanders.

...

I should add that this is why I love my parents, because I can rant sober or drunk and they accept me as I am whether they agree or not. (They mostly do though.)

speaking of which, has anyone come across (pun time!) any Bernie-themed porn?

We’re going to couples massage (massages?) in a couple hours. I’m a tight guy and only have had a massage once — the girl spent the whole time being like, “relax” even though I was. I feel like I need to get blindsided by VW bug to actually get anything to crack.

So, yeah, this will be fun.

Doktor Zymm

Maybe try deep tissue massage? That stuff is fabulous.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Just watch for that extra finger plunge

Doktor Zymm

Nah, they’re professionals. That’s one of the places I can go without anyone grabbing my ass. There are seriously fewer places like that then there should be.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I was more worried for Blax

Doktor Zymm

Fair enough, though it is a couples massage. They probably wouldn’t do that with the SO in the room.

blaxabbath

I was hoping she’d give the fiancee a few pointers…

...

You should send me a list of those places. Having had my ass both caressed and grabbed without warning, I’d like to know of a place that will respect boundaries.

Horatio Cornblower

Or try two within a few days of each other. The first massage I had was painful. I fell asleep ten minutes into the second one, about a week later.

...

I also always thought the Hall of Fame ceremonies were poorly scheduled. They should move it to the day after the All-Star Game to fill in that sportsless gap with something and keep the focus on baseball for the whole week.

blaxabbath

But then that would remind us how much better the old days were.

Which is why we need to make America great again.

Can’t add much to what you’ve said about heading to Cooperstown. Upstate New York is quite nice to drive through and the town is charming. I stopped there on a very long drive from Chicago to Boston on the way to see the Cubs at Fenway. I wish I had stopped at the Ommegang Brewery, though.

I convinced VP to send disruptive and barely literate kid down a level. I thought he was new to the country, but, I found out he has been in Canada for TEN YEARS. The fuck other teachers?

Then, I found out this other kid at our institute for the summer, goes to an elite private school in the US. The kid can barely write and definitely not up to par with the writing skills of someone supposed to be entering grade 8. And on a “happier” note, his dad is apparently a big piece of shit. Wanna take a guess who this kid now looks up to and already accidentally called “dad” once? *shivers*

Oh man, I’ve been having a great sexy Friday and Saturday (in real life).

Friday, my school’s sexy receptionist was wearing a skirt so short, even a 21 year old bar star would think that skirt was a little much. They didn’t even make her cover up, which was incredible because she had some great yams.

Today, I made an international bank transfer and the Indian bank teller wore a very nice top to show off her two (new?) nicely bought boob job. (WOOOO! It’s the small things in life).

And then the gym. Hnnngh! Ah-ma-zing. Hurray for living in a really vain city!

Finally, while I was walking through the parking lot of a strip mall, wearing a skin tight Batman underarmour shirt and sunglasses, a random stranger told their their very young (2-5 year old) son that Batman was right there (referring to me) and the kid’s face lit up and waived.

I was mistaken for MF’ing Batman today.

On a related note, that kid needs his eyes check. lol. Batman isn’t balding. Or have thinning hair. But I’ll take it!

This is how W was able to graduate from Harvard. These schools cannot flunk out anyone or it looks bad, plus it pisses off donors, so they just push them along and the parents still get to bitch about public schools’ social promotion policies.
