Can't find the game on TV, so I'm going to listen to the game outside on my iPhone MLB app and do stuff down by the river..

This whole Jackie Robinson day thing with the same numbers and no names on the back of jerseys is really going to throw 80% of the 7000 people watching this game for a loop.

Is that just a thermocouple readout or can it do PID too?
Have you seen this site (http://biology.clc.uc.edu/fankhauser/cheese/cheese_course/cheese_course.htm)? I've made some of the easy recipes from and they turned out nicely. I've been meaning to make a cheese press for about a year.

It's a PID for cooking sous vide
Have not seen, have been using the New England Cheesemaking site (this is my first foray into cheese)

JD!
I know it has cost a fw HRs for the rootrootroots, but I do like this big field.

Very nice job by CJ

I'm now here, which means the club will fall apart. But it's 3-1 good guys so far.

So far, my piddly cable company is doing me right and showing this on a back channel. Can't stay for it all though.

Stanton spanked the hell out of that one.

Is it too early to be on the Schaefer bandwagon?

climb on enjoy it while it lasts
-
Back up, Morrison.
-

I'll smoke it if you got it
-
this is going to be a long game
-
Happ got screwed on the call before but that pitch was right where Morrison wanted it to be.
-
oh yea the marlins scored
-
Come on, Happ.
-
number 6 strike out inning over
-
Got Sanchez swinging, but it's 2-1 Marlins.
-
Good pitch from Happ to strike out the last hitter to get out of the fourth. 3-2 Top 5
-
huh
-
one away

Good lord. I can't read half the gamezone thread.

someone start the recipe sharing

DoRay jinked Happ on that one.

I'm sorry that you have to listen to those clowns.

Happ has pretty good riding life on his heater today.

I can go back to doing yardwork if it really starts to annoy me.

Sanchez has a really good move to 1Bfor a righthander, but he is slow to the plate.

I wouldn't do anything rash.

God damnit, Altuve is Wee Willie Keeler today.
-
How could you watch that 3-2 pitch, Schreefer??? Even I would have hacked at that one.
-
Bases loaded, full count, two outs and Schreef just watches it float down the middle. Gah.
-
Alabama-LSU is on ESPN2, in case you didn't know.
did LSU show up for that one?
-
Next batting practice put runners on all the bases
-
So much for the bandwagon.

They're up 5-1 in the top of the 8th.

LSU is coming close to sweeping Alabama, Coach, after having beaten the No. 1 in a series at Florida.

joke based on a football game that perhaps you did not watch.
-
Oh, I watched it. And suffered through it too, knowing that I was due for some shit here from you all.
-
Oh come on Altuve. Take two steps back and then throw.
But hey! He had plan all along!
-
Not often life gives you a second chance that quickly
-
That, my friends, is why I think that Happ should try for more ground balls. The high pitch strategy to me is feast or famine. I love the strikeout too, but the key is getting outs however it can be done.

Strasburg goes tomorrow, but no TV out of mercy.

I'll be watching the Nats broadcast tomorrow night.

Carlos saw two fucking tough to hit pitches from Webb.

Boy, the HPU gave Carlos a break on that 1-2 pitch, which was there.

Went right over my head.

You'd think that the Fish could do better on a sunday than piping in recorded music for God Bless America. We at least trot out a WWII vet to sing.
-
Been out all weekend - has the monstrosity in CF sprung to life yet?

Very cool. I've not made it to that yard yet. I saw games at the previous dump though.

I'd rather do away with that altogether and concentrate on the anthem before the game.

I was going to do some yard work but I got bronchitis, ain't nobody got time for dat (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=u0XzgMPvUHk#!). Sweeeeet Brown.

Yep.

Throw strikes, Fernando. Happ gave us six pretty good innings today. It was actually not painful for me to watch him throw today.
-
Brocail out to talk it over. Keep the ball down.
-

Seconded. It's a crap song anyway.

I would direct you to John Lee Hooker's 'This TB is Killing Me' but it's too damn hard on my phone.
-
Great work, Rodriguez. He's really got good stuff. I like my chances with him on his game: 93/94 at the knees? Yep, I like that.
-
Sure hope Lyon doesn't pitch the 8th...
-
Ricotta yield was abysmal
-

I don't know. The anthem is such a tough song to sing that most people butcher it badly, especially those who attempt to put their own wrinkle on it.
-

FIFY
-
I don't know. The anthem is such a tough song to sing that most people butcher it badly, especially those who attempt to put their own wrinkle on it.
Yeah, but it's The Anthem, and they've been doing it for so long. That seventh inning stuff is just more jingoist sop.
-
Nasty pitch to CJ to get him.
-

Agreed, unless Kate Smith is singing it.

Choate having trouble with fellow lefties.

Quantity or quality?

The Marlin's catcher's mask looks like it was designed by Jimmy Buffett.

About time for Castro to get a clue with the bat.

I dropped him from my fantasy team. He was supposed to take off after that.

The Altuve.

Uh oh. What'd I do?
Altuve! Lot of power for a little man.

Apparently the Marlins haven't seen Downs' at bats this year

0 for 9 with the bases loaded.

0 for 10.

The Altuve gives us some breathing room, although not enough if Millsie is trotting Lyon out there for the eighth.
-
WW in.
-

T'aint that the truth. When will I learn to go ahead and start Chipper Jones.
-
51 LOB in the last five games.
-
A gift call on the outside corner for WW on the 2-1.
-
Fuck, Wesley, you weren't in to walk him.
-
0 for 10.
Positive spin: it was probably July before the Astros had their 10th bases-loaded AB in 2011.
-
Lopez in.
-
Can someone offer me a better explanation for why we had to watch WW face a righthanded hitter than JD offered?
-
dang good it was foul

Well shit

Ah shit Lyon could have done that

watching that thing twice in one game is going to cause me to need councling

Yes. I'm very happy with the approach at the plate this year.
-
Holy shit, that ball was hit hard.
-
Well, fuck. Ramirez sure got all of that one. Makes the call to WW even more suspicious.
-
My bad. I sat down to watch when the bottom of the 8th started. I'll turn it back off now.

Specify.

I had mixed feelings when Morrison singled. He's on my fantasy club. Now pick him off.

If I get a terminal disease, I'm going into the Astros radio booth with a shotgun.

Castro has to do a better job with those pitches in the dirt or the pitchers won't throw it. He looks like shit back there to me.

So, about 1/2 cup of ricotta?
The only cheese I've ever tried to make was paneer, and I failed at that. If you can't make paneer, you may not be cut out for the cheese-making business.
-
I would direct you to John Lee Hooker's 'This TB is Killing Me' but it's too damn hard on my phone.
That is originally a Jimmie Rodgers song you know, The TB Is Whipping Me.
I guess you guys saw the Footer tweet that Shafer's petition to wear jersey number 420 today was turned down by the league.
-
If you eat lots of yogurt, making homemade yogurt is worth it.

I knew neither of those things, although I have a vague memory of Jimmie Rodgers and TB songs. Cool.

170 grams, so about 3/4 cup
Paneer is my only cheesemaking excursion as well - this is a whole different ball game

I've got a friend who regularly makes mozzarella but he gave up on ricotta after one try.

If it tastes good, I would probably do again - its not terrible.
Plan is to freeze some of the mozzarella curds to be stretched at a later date - if that works well, I will probably do a bigger batch next time

Would have preferred a win already, but given this is the last day of Extra Innings free preview, might as well play 2
-
Castro with a nice bunt to advance CJ.
-
At some point, the transformation will be complete but until then, there's going to be equal parts enjoyment and frustration with this team. If we're lucky.
-
Lopez for a third inning?
-
So in other news apparently there are lots of hookers in Colombia. Who knew?

Carpenter and Marwin in for Lopez and Altuve.

Solid managerial strategy there by the Malins.

One thing is for certain, Lyon has no place on this team. Mills avoiding him like the plague

My gameday isn't updating either.

JD doubled, Lowrie stopped at 3rd. Lee intentionally walked
-
Bogie grounds out. 0-11 with the bases loaded
-
What batting average is 0 for 10?
-
Same as 0 for 11.
-
My mozzarella stretching skills are not good
-
Buck lead off single. Hayes pinch runs
-
Coughlan sacrifice bunt, Hayes to 2nd.
-
Intentional walk to Reyes
-
So what have I missed?!?

SHIT!
-
Wild pitch runners move up
-
God damnit, Castro. You have got to get your body out there.
-
shirt
-
IBB to face Reyes. And then Giancarlo. Ugh.
-
So what have I missed?!?
You've missed the monstrosity in center field going off a couple times. Some quality dick stepping. That's about it.
-
God damnit, Castro. You have got to get your body out there.
He's terrible.
-
I'm sure I'm to blame for that loss somehow. My apologies...
-
He's terrible.
I've been extremely unimpressed so far. And if you're not good defensively, you'd better bring something else to the table, which he hasn't so far.

I miss Quintero.

I don't know shit about catcher blocking technique, but something tells me his problems can't really be blamed on the knee surgery.
-
So with the video out, no clues why Lowrie didn't try for home?
-

Well, for one thing, he seems to try to backhand a lot of low balls. For another, he doesn't seem to move laterally at all, choosing to jab at balls instead. I can foresee the pitchers getting gun-shy.
-
Zunino is looking better at 1/1
-
So with the video out, no clues why Lowrie didn't try for home?
Clark rightly held him up. No shot at scoring. JD's hit was a laser off the LF wall and Coghlan got the rebound quickly.
-
He's terrible.
I'm not quite willing to pillory him, but he's been disappointing to say the least.
-

I agree on all scores. That jabbing method usually doesn't work out, and it will attract the boo birds if he doesn't start hitting.
