I like that first lineup a lot.
That DH call will be interesting.
I still see Oli putting Winn at leadoff... he knows best.

I suggest Kirkland Champagne, a bargain at $20 (for the un-tariffed moment), to help cut the grease and make the greens really pop.riff raff wrote: ↑23 Mar 2025 14:40 pmI'll be having fried chicken, chitlins, and collard greens.imetsatchelpaige wrote: ↑23 Mar 2025 14:36 pmThat is the whitest, Missouri opening day menu imaginable.BrummerStealsHome wrote: ↑23 Mar 2025 09:36 am Pork steaks

Your video reminds me of my first experience visiting the original Dreamland Ribs in Tuscaloosa, AL. We sat down at our table and an oversized waitress slowly sauntered over and asked "what'chall want?" I asked to see a menu. The reply? "Ain't got no menu, jus' ribs." Do you have sides, I asked? "No sides, jus' ribs." She pointed to one of those signs on the wall where small plastic letters are hung. The first line read RIBS 14.95, while the second line read HALF SLAB 9.95. That was it. Ribs, white bread, and ice cold beer, as the song says. We did get to choose from a modest list of beers.

Hey Brummer, MY GGG was a huge fan of pork steaks as well-like every old German/Scot in that city.
My olfactory memory of him is Stag beer, Hi-ho crackers and peanut butter. I can smell it like it was yesterday (with a Cards game on the transistor radio, naturally).
