Not sure if this was posted, but Gamel is out for the year again. Torn ACL 2.0

[Sanjuro]

Really need to venture off this year to a road game. Baltimore is the obvious, but haven't been to NYS.

Debating Toronto as well, is the Skydome still really that bad of an experience?

 

[Windu]

I might be visiting St.Louis this summer. What....exactly is there to do?

Don't go to the Joe Buck restaurant. That place is as bad as his announcing.

 

[Adam Blade]

There is nothing to do in St Louis.

Yeah it's a dumb but there are tons of prostitutes so that's a bonus.

I could just go to a PawSox game for that!

 

[eznark]

Go to Pittsburgh or Miller Park

 

[Sanjuro]

Go to Pittsburgh or Miller Park

I would probably only go to a interleague (gah) match-up for both of those, obviously unless I found myself there for other reasons.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

They have google fiber, what else do they need?

Truth.

 

[bjb]

There's quite a bit to do. The bad part about St. Louis is that the stuff to do is kind of spread out. Just avoid East St. Louis (not that you'll be going across the river anyway), and North St. Louis.

I'm assuming you're coming into town for a Cardinals game. There's a few bars around the ballpark that are pretty packed after the games. I'd head down to Washington Street, and hang out there. Lots of bars, and open patios.

The Landing on the riverfront has some decent restaurants.

Delmar Loop has Fitz's bottleworks, Vintage Vinyl, and some other shops that are pretty good. The Pageant is also there, one of the best venues to see music.

The Zoo is fun, and its free.

Just to be forwarned, summers here flat out suck. I'm used to them from living here all my life, but its very high humidity. Ever wear a sweater in the heat? Its about like that.

Gotcha. Thanks for the info!

 

[Malo]

Truth.

Got damn.

I need Google fiber in my life.

 

[Dominican Power]

Truth.

How much for that?

 

[yankeehater]

Man that google fiber pic is depressing. I got Fios this weekend, I get 80 down and 11 up, and I was so happy but after seeing that pic it feels really slow now.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Or for $120: you can also have cable TV, a free Nexus7, 1TB cloud storage, and your cable box can hold 1TB worth of shows and DVR 7 things at once. And the Nexus can playback DVR'd stuff and manage what you're recording, etc.

Or for free (except a $300 hookup fee which they'll break up into 1 year of $25 if you want: 5mbps internet for at least 7 years (maybe longer, 7 is what they promise).

Summer night when the dome is open is 600x better than closed.

Enjoyable I would even say.

Still were in the WC hunt until the pitching fell apart post-ASB.

This has happened every year since 2007. It's like Groundhog Day.

 

[The Frankman]

This has happened every year since 2007. It's like Groundhog Day.

But you weren't supposed to believe last year. See that's the mistake, you need to doubt everything this year. Then they'll start winning after the ASB. Maybe LJ11 had the right idea all along...

 

[Duane Cunningham]

So when is MLB at Bat 13 rolling out, I wonder? Isn't it usually before the ST games start?

Oh cool! I missed that. Tomorrow then, hopefully.

I just got a hard on. I guess there is a reason to live in the middle of the country after all.

go pretty good with Google Fiber.

 

[rando14]

? Meat, good beer, and milk are only available in KC?

 

[harSon]

Don't hate on Kansas City BBQ bro

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Yo I live in the town where Sierra Nevada comes from. Plus all of the smaller local breweries in Nor Cal are great. I would like to go to Kansas City though.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

KC BBQ is the best, Boulevard beer is IMO one of the best lesser know microbreweries, and Shatto is, well...

I live in KC, and this is seriously the best thing ever. So far, all of their flavors have been ungodly good. Their new chocolate cherry milk is divine.

I don't need heaven, I just need a glass of rootbeer milk.

I'm from KC where you'd think fresh, local milk of high quality would also be a thing. But I've never seen anything quite like what I saw there. They had milk down to a science. It was as if Lon Lon Milk from Zelda came into modern times.

Everyone in this thread needs to go to KC and buy a bottle of Shatto. The chocolate was good but their root beer milk is great.

I really, really miss living in MO for this stuff... Their chocolate milk is unbeatable!

...It's one of KC's hidden treasures.

Never been to KC, what makes its bbq better than what you could get in the south?

 

[eznark]

I was with you until I read cherry chocolate milk. Nuke KC from orbit.


Fucking root beer milk? Fuck you!

 

[vas_a_morir]

Austin BBQ shits all over KC BBQ. And I fuckin' hate Texas because it's a big hot-ass Ohio, so you can take that to the bank.

 

[Sanjuro]

BBQ is an imaginary concept here.

Banana milk sounds bomb though

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Well, I think part of it is that KC BBQ uses a combination of elements from Memphis and Texas, dry rub on the meat, a lot pork and beef emphasis, but then adds sauce that is by far better than anyone else, and I think we tend to have a better variety of meats, too.

Oh, and burnt ends are a pretty KC specific delicacy and I believe them to be the pinnacle of BBQ:

 

[HBP]

Sounds like it should be out tomorrow. I just hope they maintain the $15 price for the Gameday Audio, I don't really care about MLB.tv considering I live in KC so all the Royals games would be blacked out anyhow.

If it helps, cherry chocolate was super limited edition for Valentine's day. Shatto Root Beer Milk is godly.

No. No way. I love Austin, and their BBQ is good, but the best places in KC can't be touched by Austin's. And come to the American Royal BBQ Contest (which the Royals were partly named after) and you'll denounce all other cuisines.


To give you an idea, here's a map of last year's American Royal. Every one of those booths holds a separate BBQ team who set up the evening before and cook all night. For a sense of scale, Kemper Arena in the upper right seats 20k and it was the home of our NBA team last time we had one. It goes on all weekend and makes the entire city smell good. You can even smell it in the suburbs.

AND, while the American Royal BBQ Contest is the biggest, there are dozens of other weekend long contests like it. THAT'S how serious KC takes BBQ.

 

[andycapps]

Everything I've seen of KC BBQ is that it's too saucy for me. More of a Memphis style guy, or SC style, really. I can't wait to crank up the smoker again pretty soon.

 

[BFIB]

The best BBQ I've ever had was in Memphis. It'd be hard to top that.

 

[jakncoke]

Pirates are extending Hurdle?

Well when Huntington doesnt have any sort of plan besides over slot draft guys, sign battered vets and draft a ton of arms and hope some if any stick. Then well you cant exactly make Lasagna if you're only given ricotta cheese now can you

 

[Dominican Power]

When is Google expanding their fiber into the major markets?

Dont they have to finish with Kansas City first? Also I think they I read they did a few more surround areas of Kansas City

"

Coming Next
Kansas City North, MO
Kansas City South, MO
Westwood, KS
Westwood Hills, KS
Mission Woods, KS

So the key to being Mets fan is to have no hope.

Why didn't I figure this out sooner?

I didn't know they are doing South KC, I wish the map showed more because I am sort of on the edge of what is considered south kc.

Giants are playing back to back series against the NY teams. I'm considering catching the final game of the Citi series and the first game of the NYS series the next day.

I had the time of my life last summer in KC. Ate like a king, Boulevard is damn fine beer and the brewery tour was awesome. Too bad Axford shat up the joint both games we went to.

man didnt kno there was BBQ styles. that pic u posted looks good Duane.

 

[Sanjuro]

Dempster and Gomes have been fantastic during interviews. Really likable guys. They just shredded Kevin Millar.
