Happy pitchers and catchers report day!
Every year I do an illustration to celebrate the start of spring training. Thought I'd share this year's with all of you (and see how hard/easy it is to post a FanShot while I'm at it. I have to say, I'm really nervous that there's no "preview" button.)
If you like, you can click here see this illustration in its original home.

You can't get a H&T burger and tell me it tastes like a JTM burger
That’s exactly what Quatman’s reminds me of. And I’ve been there more than once, and it was horrible both times.

This is true
But it’s unfair to compare Quatman’s to JTM burgers. BK be lookin’ like a fool.
"They're the ones that gave you the keys, they can’t get upset when you crash the car" -- 'tHan on my being a mod
Blind taste test them both, and tell me I'm wrong
A Quatman’s burger is no better or worse than golf course food. That was my experience the first time I went there, and I gave it another shot thinking it might be better the second time, and it was exactly the same.

JTM burgers are seasoned and have a distinct flavor.
They aren’t fabulous, and I rarely eat beef anymore, but I do miss them sometimes.

I'm not saying Herb & Thelma's is better than Quatman's
The only thing H&T has going for it is value. It’s dirty cheap, right? Like $2 for a good sized burger?
Quatman’s is near the bottom of the list of burgers in Cincinnati, and it wouldn’t surprise me if H&T was too, but when you factor in price, I think H&T gets a slight nod.
by Highlifeman21 on Feb 19, 2010 11:11 AM EST up reply actions
H&T is the kind of burger you'd make in your backyard
Quatman’s taste like they were frozen and cooked in a dirty microwave. And yeah, H&T is dirt cheap, with cheap beer to accompany it. Quatman’s had Hudy Delight on tap.
