I use a lot of butter when I make blackened chicken or fish.

Battled/ fouled off several.

Bet he’ll be chewing on 1 or 2 of those in his head tonight.

Isn’t it nicer in the GZ with a lead and to be talking baseball trivia and bbq sauce?

Six outs to get.

He hit a bunch of balls really hard. Looked like the Bregman we’re used to seeing. Positive sign.

Man, Gallo hits some Major League pop ups.

Odor probably never struck out before, judging by his reaction.

My heart breaks for him.

Is Preston Tucker still playing?

I think he is playing in Korea

He’s playing in Japan, no?

Edit: The Colonel is correct…Korea.

Red Dog!!!

12-4

No one guessed the Tucker Bros as HR kings.

Woo!!

Josh didn’t want to be left out.

Preston hit 29 in Korea this year

Garneau with the Golden Sombrero tonight.

Would like to see Bielak with a strong inning here.

B9:

Mathis with a 2-out double, raises his average to a cool .155

Ballgame. Astros win 12-4

I was thrilled when I saw the bottle with Mr. Stubblefield’s image on it in my local CA grocery. Stubb’s BBQ was the best in Lubbock when I was at Texas Tech. That was before the fast-talkin’ fellas from Austin talked him into moving there, and eventually taking over the brand.

His place in Lubbock was small and in a then rather dodgy neighborhood, but had great bluesmen go through like Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker and great BBQ. There was a sign above the stage that read: ā€œTHERE WILL BE NO LOUD TALK OR BAD TALK IN THIS PLACEā€. As Mr. Stubblefield was at least 6’ 4" tall and usually wielded at least one large meat cleaver the rule, to my knowledge, was never broken.

ETA: The original Stubb’s BBQ building has been demolished, but there is a statue of Mr. Stubblefield holding a brisket on the site.:Story on Statue
