Jake Arrieta 2017 Salary Drive Sploogefest

[SKO]

Chuck, you just got two of the mickiest of Catholics on this board to revisit the intense fear that was the backbone of our religious upbringing.

Yeah thanks a lot, Chuck.

Don't forget us Eastern European types.

You are all welcome to come over the the Chuck / Hawk / Oleg side.  No hell, plenty of sports media jorbs, the intense fear only comes from seeing your mother's name on the caller ID, good food.

I've been ex-communicated?

Seriously, WTF, Chuck?  Stew is probably the most Jewish of us all.  And, store-bought gefilte fish? And a picture without the red horseradish?

Here's the nightmare of my youth:

Everything about that picture makes me want to hurl. I will never, ever complain about fish on Fridays during Lent again.

I am assuming showing a Manischewitz jar of Gifilte Fish as an example of good Jewish food is an Internet Chuckism

Fish needs to be fried when served on Fridays. It's basically the 11th commandment.

That (or jarred/canned Streits) was the only kind of gifilte fish I ever had.  Think this thread needs a palate cleanser:



And, oh year, Jake Arrieta is really really good.

We're getting into that time of the year for Flanken in a Pot.

Jake Arrietta is the pitching equivalent of Flanken in a Pot.

My mother, in some ways, was an excellent cook.  Her strudel was legendary.  But her matzo balls tended to be the size, density and hardness of a golf ball.  I bet that you could send one of those things about 90 to 100 yards if you hit it just right with a number 1 wood.  They were also green in the middle, but you would need a knife to cut into it to find out.

If it's me or SKO, you're going to need to expect mainly accusations of well-poisonings and matzah made from gentile baby blood. We're old fashioned.

I actually had no idea there had ever been a documented case of blood libel in the US, and it wasn't even THAT long ago, relatively speaking: http://forward.com/news/164493/decades-old-blood-libel-case-roils-town/. How disappointing.

There is something wrong with the math in that story.  It was published in 2015.  It is about the disappearance of a four year old girl in 1928.  She reappeared the following day and was said to be 88 years old today.  But if she was born in 1924 she would be 91 years old today.  I wonder if anything else is wrong with that story?
