2011 - The Greatest

Homer don't play that.  Video game.

Saves by Francisco and homers by Votto,
"Blogging since 1869" was our motto,
Trades for pitching that promise us rings,

These are a few of my favorite things.

It might have been a forgettable baseball season for the Reds this year. But outside of the frustrating one-run losses and bases-loaded strikeouts which #occupied way too much of my attention, there was plenty to celebrate in the greater world. And not just inconsequential events like political revolutions or the end of a war, but important things like movies, music, and video games. Jamie Ramsey polled various Reds about their favorites in 2011 - here's a snippet:

  • Latos: Favorite "Thing" - Getting a late birthday gift of being traded to a talented team ready to compete!
  • Heisey: Favorite "Thing" - Shooting my buck in Arkansas with Travis Wood. (check out the pic)
  • Homer: Favorite Video Game - Video games are making kids FAT and LAZY, I dont play them.

So what were some of your favorite things in 2011?

Book related – I’m reading the biographies of Dave Grohl and Steve Jobs, both of which are great.

Also realized, looking at last year:

the three greatest free pass experts, Volquez, Wood, and Willis are all gone. A Cueto-Latos-Leake-Arroyo-Bailey rotation will be incredibly stingy. With a great defense behind them, this is a pretty awesome strategy. Much like the Indians’ “all the ground ball pitchers” theory, it’s bold but it ought to be effective with this defense.

Agreed.

To a extent.

It was a nostalgic thrill ride and it was almost a ‘classic.’ I thought the ending was disappointing but really only ‘meh’ disappointing. Unless you were in the 9-to-15 year old boy demographic. Then I think the ending was probably just as awesome as the rest of it.

‘Tree of Life’ was my favorite movie of the year.

We took our liquor stash and plugged it into an online app thing where it tells you all of the drinks you can make given a list of ingredients. We came across one called a Magnum (seriously) and decided to give it a shot;

1 part Goldschlager® cinnamon schnapps
1 part Jack Daniel’s® Tennessee whiskey
1 part fruit punch
1 splash tequila
1 part rum
1 part orange juice
1 part Smirnoff® vodka

Add all ingredients to a blender with three cups of ice. Blend, pour into cocktail glasses, and serve.

Truly awful. I haven’t drank Goldschlager since.

up charge for rice is ridiculous.

i understand an up charge for lo mein.

oriental wok is hard to beat though. they have the best sweet & sour chicken.

for most other dishes, Raymond’s is slightly above them

Doesnt Raymonds serve curry dishes?

that eliminates them from consideration. just the olfactory hint of curry onsite drops taste quality significantly for all the other dishes.

true story

my college roommate thought it was “rock the fadeaway” rather than “fuck the pain away” for a solid 3 or 4 months

The greatest win in 2011.

Friday, July 29th

Our Reds beat the World Champs 4-3 in 13 innings.

D-Train pitched six innings gave up six hits but only two runs.

CoCo pitched two shutout innings with two Ks and then Chapman pitched two of his own with four Ks.

Brain Wilson went out to pitch the bottom of the 13th. Bruce led off. In trouble at 2-2 but would draw the walk. Arredondo got a chop single in his first MLB at-bat. Renteria cracked one deep down the line to bring in Bruce. Boom! Fireworks for the win and then twenty minutes later the Friday Night Fireworks show at like midnight. My wife didn’t appreciate that we stayed for everything but my three year-old, my four year-old and my six year-old did. Good times.

The Giants were like fifteen games over .500 and in first place at that point but our boys would sweep em that weekend and then they’d lose a lot more. Something like ten games under .500 for the next month and they’d end up missing the playoffs and their chance to defende their title.

By the way, I live in Columbus so having three young kids rocking the GABP fireworks at midnight means... well, do the math.

We’re badass Reds fans.

Kids' reactions are the best

I will never forget the look on my son’s face on Opening Day when Monie hit the walkoff.

We watched Jay's 2010 division clincher 15-20 times last year.

Kids love the pile-on. And the fireworks.

Think about it. You’re piling on and wrestling your friends. And things are exploding in the air above you. And no one is telling you to stop. In fact, they’re cheering you.

tHom said a really nice birthday greeting on air. You guys probably mocked him and me for it.

I had tickets for that one too.

2011's greatest bacon recipe

From TheKitchn.com.

Bacon-Wrapped Potato Bites with Spicy Sour Cream Dipping Sauce
makes about three dozen bites
1 pound small or medium red potatoes
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped, fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
freshly ground pepper
12 ounces-to-1 pound thick-cut bacon
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
1 teaspoon hot sauce
salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Wash and dry the potatoes. Chop them into 1-inch pieces, keeping the chunks roughly the same size, even if they aren’t the exact same shape. Put the potatoes in a medium pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Season the water with salt. Once the water begins to boil, cook the potatoes for about 3 to 4 minutes, until you can stick a fork into them without too much resistance. You want the potatoes to be almost, but not fully, cooked through (so they won’t fall apart during the next steps).
Drain the potatoes and put them in a large bowl. Add the rosemary, olive oil, salt, and a few grinds of pepper, and toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Cut the strips of bacon in half (with a short, vertical slice). Wrap each piece of potato in a half-strip of bacon, securing it with a toothpick. Put the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. You may need to cook the potatoes in two batches.
Cook the potatoes for 15 minutes, then flip each piece. Cook for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the bacon is cooked through and crisp. Mix the sour cream and hot sauce in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Pile the potato bites on a plate and serve alongside the dip.
