    Went to the beer garden down here on Friday. Definitely a good time. On a semi-related note - Riley Cooper and Jason Kelce are large human beings.

    Nice. Beer list looks pretty solid. Was a bit surprised.

    Thinking about becoming a tourist this weekend and doing the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and all that stuff followed by the new beer garden there that looks absolutely sweet.

    we were in that area yesterday for brunch....forgot how crowded it gets down there with tourists. they were fucking everywhere
    Where did you go?

    Yeah, it gets insane. I don't usually see it on the weekends but pass by every morning during the week. In late June and through a lot of the summer with school and camp trips there is a line a couple hundred deep at the Liberty Bell by 9 am.

    Speaking of Mormons, I still don't understand why or how they're constructing that huge building in the city. I get they have a lot of money, but are there really that many around here?

    bloody Mary's are decent and my egg white mexican omelet was awesome......

    however the scrapple left something to be desired. I like my scrapple a bit over cooked and with a bit of spice to it. this was crunchy on the outside, which is good, but too mushy on the inside and rather bland.

    Nice.

    Love seeing scrapple on menus. I think I like it that way as well. Don't cook it often enough to really know though.

    Bowden suggested Lee for Severino and Aaron Judge. Prospects are prospects but I am not sure I would do that. I would have a really tough time parting with Severino for a year and a half of Lee. Judge always gets the Stanton comparison but that is obviously pretty far fetched. Big time power though.

    Usually it's too mushy in the middle if it's cut too thick. I'm a fan of putting it in a skillet, but will never turn down a piece deep fried.

    No and no. haha.

    Betances isn't going anywhere. I would include Sanchez in a trade for Hamels but not Lee, even if his stock is falling a bit.

    I am just not the biggest fan of Lee at this point, especially with this elbow. I mean if Tanaka doesn't go under the knife and Pineda can come back, adding Lee to that rotation would be pretty solid, I just don't know about giving away those guys for a year and a half of Lee when I don't trust they can win in that year and a half.

    Depends on my mood, or what else I'm eating it with. Some scrambled eggs? A little ketchup. Some french toast and bacon? A little (a lot) of syrup.

    their whole thing is world domination. I have a Mormon friend and I told him I didn't understand why kids (aka "elders ") do missions in SLC. It seems a little unnecessary to me. My buddy replied "because SLC is only 50% LDS." See? They want 100%

    So, watch out for bike riding, shirt and tie wearing dudes with "the good news"

    Haha, that sounds like something I would be interested in. Looks like a few places in Chicago have it...I'll have to check it out.
