CJ is going to be a big star for a long time. I’d offer him a big extension yesterday. with Gore looking great and Woods on the way, the Soto trade is looking pretty fantastic , as painful as it was at the time. -

The internet is awesome. Sitting in a hospital in Vietnam (working, not a patient), and watching the Nats. Abrams is awesome. Feel a bit bad for Parker, debuting against that lineup, but getting first run has to help… -
Caitlin Clark is one of the most entertaining athletes I've ever seen.

Man... Josiah seems like a great dude and I sure hope I'm wrong, but his stuff seems so marginal right now. Hard to see how he gets beyond a back-of-the-rotation guy. -

Real nice games for CJ and Keibert today. And Lipscomb had some great plays and a solid hit. And just came back to tie it in the top of the 9th! -
You can take it up to pullable temps if you like, but in my experience it'll be awfully dry and stringy. Still perfectly tasty, but need a lot of sauce to make up for the dryness, and not nearly as good as shoulder. I'm sure there's a way to do it better than mine, but among the ham's I've made I've preferred sliced to pulled.

Raw or already smoked/cooked ham? I've done a ton of smoking, can reliably nail shoulder/brisket/etc, and lots of good whole hogs. For some reason, hams are tricky. If it is already smoked, you really just want to rewarm it. Very light smoke, add a nice homemade glaze, not much time needed. Cooking from raw, I'd do a dry brine/cure overnight and then gently smoke up to 150-160. Will be slice-able and tender/juicy, not pullable. Not enough intramuscular fat/collagen to take up to typical pork shoulder temps.

Don't make me pick between Stras/Max/Zimm. I'll love them all forever. 2019 was pure magic. -

I've been to about 50 countries, and my favorite breakfast is in Vietnam. Also, full Irish > full English. And the blood pudding is delicious. -

This has been wild. Really shows how the new regime viewed our roster (accurately) as a giant talent vacuum. -

Wagner as personal coach/mentor to Jamin might be the best way to get him to reach his potential. I can see Wagner transitioning into a coaching role after he's done. Would love to see him working under DQ to get the most out of our LBs. -

Wood looks amazing. Yeah yeah small sample size blah blah but holy cow is he fun to watch. It will be real interesting to see where he ends up at the end of spring training. -

Rutledge is throwing BP now. -
He was hilarious in Arrested Development. Great in a ton of things.

I've done a lot of briskets, and find that I prefer fast methods for prime grade and above and low-and-slow for lower grades. Always buy prime (or better) if you can, but a choice brisket done low-and-slow is still great.

Eovaldi is getting SQUEEZED. He's had a bunch of pitches in the zone called balls. I think they move so much the ump has a hard time seeing. I don't envy these umps - bring on the bots! 10 min later- he loads the bases with no outs, then K's Diaz and Altuve and gets Bregman on a ground out. Very impressive. I don't love any of the teams that are left, but as long as Houston doesn't win (preferably gets humiliated), I'll be happy.

I always thought Fedde was so close to figuring it out and becoming a reliable #2/3 starter. Glad to see he's having success over there... -
I made these ribs yesterday: https://pitbarrelcooker.com/blogs/food/jamaican-jerk-spareribs I've made this recipe dozens of times, and wouldn't change a thing. Maybe my favorite pork recipe of all. I really prefer the jerk seasoning over the traditional southern-style BBQ on ribs (not that "regular" BBQ is bad, just these are so amazing). Give it a try, especially if you like a bit of spice. We had scotch bonnets yesterday, but have substituted habaneros when I couldn't find the SBs and it's just as good.
