Tommy’s! In-n-Out fries are pretty mediocre especially compared with what you all back east enjoy from Five Guys.
Craig, you would’ve needed to win the megamillions lottery or sell an MLB team to buy a place on the beach. If you needed further reminders on why you want to stay in Ohio, looking at real estate listings out here would do it.
As a Dodger fan, I feel that we’re finally coming to the end of the Interregnum, but it’s going to take a few seasons for the new owners to make their impact known, whether that ends up being good or bad. The one thing that will be immediate is that fans will return to Dodger Stadium this season, stopping off at Philippe’s before they head up the hill.

Craig, what were you doing outside my house? You should have come in for some Johnny Walker Blue and watched the Yanks and marlins with me on mlb.tv. them we’d pop over to Jen aniston’s for our Sunday night bbq. You really do need to ditch Ohio.

That is strange! Weather patterns tend to move from West to East and with Jason Werth on the East Coast, not sure what “rumblings” could be heard?

In that I think there is some essential essence of fandom that I don’t think about very often. It’s not … rational

If you’re a fan of any team in any sport you’re already off the Rational Reservation.

After all, we root for a group of grown men we don’t know, aren’t from the city who’s uniform they put on, and we pay money to watch them play a game.

Fandom does not further our careers or fall into the pursuit of our basic needs for food, water, shelter, and procreation. In fact, in most situations being a fan hinders the pursuit of those other four.

I’m not condeming fandom, because I spend a lot of frivolious hours being one. Just understand that being a fan of anything in the first place is completely unrational.

If you moved out there you’d likely have plenty of company, Craig. Most of the folks I met while living there were ex Ohio– seemingly more of them than “locals”, whatever that may mean anymore.

“When you get a chance, someone remind why I live in Ohio again.”

Proximity to Shelley Duncan?

I can’t imagine even the most optimistic Mets fan – I think I’m it – ever saying, “it’s the Mets, they’ll be OK.” And for that matter, I can’t imagine a Brooklyn-era Dodgers fan saying that, either.

But at least since they got to LA, and maybe from the day Mr Rickey arrived in Brooklyn, this is a franchise that does at least somewhat well. They survived Campanis and outlasted Rupert Murdoch, and still have one of the best pitchers and one of the best hitters around even after McCourt. It might not happen overnight, but they will rise to top again, I am sure.

C’mon, man, surely you can get views like that on Lake Erie. The Palm Trees probably wouldn’t survive the winter, but still.

I’m gonna go with the people in Ohio are “real” and you probably don’t want to have to put on sunscreen every day.
