Situation- I'm planning to make somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-5 gallons of C&S Gumbo. I have a 7 gallon jambalaya pot and burner. I don't have access to jarred roux. #1 is there anything I should be aware of if I make the roux a AM day or two ahead of the cook? All I see is cook it, store it...

At Oak Hill 2023 actual breakfast offerings were a bit slow to sometimes come out. But, it was easy to walk in, grab what you wanted, show your wristband, and walk out. I think the limits were 2 drinks (water, coffee, Gatorade, soda, etc.), 2 mains, and 2 sides (fruit, chips, cookie, etc.) per perso...

re: Keegan Bradley expected to be named 2025 Ryder Cup Captain

Posted by McVick on 7/8/24 at 4:38 pm

I think, very low down on the list, is that Keegan may have more experience than most with Bethpage. An article I read mentioned that he played there quite often in college, as the GC allowed the St John's golf team to play on Mondays when it was closed. Keegan may have an idea of who is best suited...

re: Why Not Steal Second?

[quote]There’s one reason[/quote] Counter: It's a tied game in the bottom of the 9th with one out and a pinch runner on 1st. Lefty pitcher is throwing down away to a lefty batter with a backup catcher behind the plate. Gotta try something. Going 1st to 3rd still requires two hits to win the g...

[quote]Coach could be thinking about going 1st to 3rd on a single or scoring from 2nd, provided he made it that far. Bingham was the pinch runner. He had two steals all year and a lefty was in the mound. Not good odds.[/quote] I guess this helps answer part of my question. Bingham being 2 for 5 o...

Trav was pulled for a pinch runner. Which made the situation even more baffling to me. If a player is pulled for a pinch runner at 1st with the score tied, I'm thinking stealing 2nd is the primary goal....

Why Not Steal Second?

Posted by McVick on 6/4/24 at 5:32 am

I'll preface this post by admitting I barely watched any regular season games. In the 8th inning after Travinski reached base, there seemed to be no attempt to steal 2nd. The game was tied and there was one out. It was lefty pitcher vs lefty batter, and if I recall the pitcher was pitching low a...

re: Harder professional sports job - MLB catcher or NHL goalie

I've rarely, if ever, heard of a catcher becoming a basket case and just unable to play the position after being elite. I've seen goalies become basket cases, get into their own heads, and unable to effectively play the position. When that happens to a goalie, it's really hard to come back and be a ...
