Highland Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 The offense looked good as it has been for the past week. Relievers survived some hard-hit drives. Jose's ninth inning home run was awesome. Yoan needs to sit until it can be figured out what's wrong with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sound like a terrific pizza fan....what joints have your favorite Chicago thin crusts? I'd love to hear your suggestions. Unfortunately I can't recommend any off the top of my head, because I grew up in Kankakee and was either too young to remember the places we stopped for pizza or my parents would stop at famous places that specialized in deep dish (where I would usually get thin crust, because I didn't like deep dish until I was, like, 18). We did have a number of places in Kankakee that had good thin crust with - Sammy's and Johnny's - but you're not getting down there for pizza. If you're ever in NYC, Emmett's is one of those "opened by a Chicagoan" places that serves both kinds of pizza + Italian beef and their thin crust is A+. For local recs, I'mma leave it to others in this thread while I continue to bad mouth the monstrosity that is St. Louis pizza, specifically Imo's.

I was actually discussing my St Louis pizza story with my son early last evening on our nightly neighborhood stroll and then you brought up that vile excuse for pizza here later LOL. Emmett's sounds good. Do they serve the Chicago triumvirate of Pizza, Beef, and Polish??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spent all day in the city at the Taste with our college friends and then drove down to her spot for the nightcap. Her dad was an administrator at Homewood-Floosmor and with school out her parents were out of town so us kids went wild. Don't ever let some silly college kid say 21 isn't fun. Yea it might not have the stability of middle age but it's fun. Oh, and GO SOX. Finally -- somebody willing to stand up for your early 20s as a fun time of life ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipWellsFan Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Moncada saw a lot of pitches last night, which was a bit encouraging. But he also seems to be fouling off a ton of pitches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kids Can Play Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Another great offensive display. That is 42 runs in last five games or 8.20 runs per game! Abreu is starting to light it up as he usually does when it gets warmer. Since May 15, when he was batting .197, in the last 25 games he is batting .344 and raised his BA to .260. Sousa and Crick still suck as does Ruiz who thankfully didn't pitch. It's so pathetic we don't have any pitching down in Charlotte to bring up. If this franchise is ever going to be a WS contender, either Hahn or his replacement, will have to someday figure out how to scout, sign and develop pitchers like the other winning clubs do! Regardless of the win, TLR still sucks and needs to be fired. Even with 8.2 runs a game in the last five games we are only 2-3 - W-L!

I'll go: to add to the recs from Southsidehitmen, Vito & Nick's, Michael's, and the most underrated in the city in my opinion: Bartoli's.

Sammy's is a great option down there and worth the drive actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue that these days once you get to college and the extra-curriculars are limited you probably have more free time then when you were in HS. That was true for me at least even playing low level baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

College is a breeze compared to that. Hell, I had more time in law school than that (and certainly more than I do now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
