when is a banana perfectly ready to eat?

Banana pancakes, too. Love those things. -

Preach on. Muffins with banana in them are great, too. -
Worst Star Wars villain EVER.

The speculation is that it'll be Wood.

Derwood is just cramming food into his mouth. -

On it's own? Yellow with a few brown spots. In cereal? The same, or with a fee more brown spots. Using in a smoothie or making something like banana bread or pancakes? Mostly brown and a super mushy banana. Any green whatsoever is unacceptable. Ugh. -
i realize the irony in that i'm saying this (but i expected the sweep after 2 wins and going into the 8th with a 2 run lead), but you should never expect any team to sweep anyone. stop saying that. and why the hell would you expect the pirates to sweep milwaukee but us to lose to philly? purely home/road is your reasoning? thanks for allowing me to shift my anger elsewhere tho Pittsburgh is a World Series caliber club when they play at home. Not so much on the road. Still, their futility at Miller Park is a head-scratcher. As for the Cubs, Haren/Hendricks will be starting 2 of the 3 so I expect one of them to give up a bunch. Hopefully our dongs prevail. The Phillies are garbage; you really can't see Haren and Hendricks having the type of success they've had a LOT of this year against a team that bad?
-
I'm rooting for the Pirates so [expletive] hard now. I want the Cubs to face the Cardinals in the WC game something fierce.
-
Agreed; if he had been in the starting lineup they would have won, dammit.
-
He is being rational. He's not blaming it on magic or anything.

It has. That was a very mundane comeback win. I realize it was after Lester had come out of the game, but they won by stringing three of their five hits together in a way that scored the game's winning runs. Hits that easily could have been scattered harmlessly through the rest of the game. Not to mention their mediocre relievers shutting down the Cubs and Cardinals pitching lights out when the Cubs had scoring opportunities. This was a very Cardinals-esque comeback win. All hits can be "scattered harmlessly throughout a game;" that's an utterly meaningless thing to say. yeah, like ours were "Dammit, they hit their walkoff home run in the bottom of the 9th instead of harmlessly in the 4th! ONLY THAT TEAM!!!"

Are you saying anything less than thunderous doubles or home runs are just fluke-y hits when it comes to winning late? You're reaching even harder than usual.
-
Pretty much. This DID mean something, and this is a crappy loss. It's not going to send them spiraling off into failure, but being only 5.5 back with the series coming up would have been gigantic. Maddon should have been doing everything possible to step on their throat today.
-
I'm bugged by the first half of the 8th, too. If you're pulling Lester, why is Ross hitting? Why is Herrera then hitting for Lester? If Bryant actually wasn't available, alright, but Montero-Bryant-Russell would have been much more soothing.

Has Maddon ever had good explanations for his boneheaded decisions in the postgame interviews? [expletive] like this is inexcusable. SKI WANTS A [glow=red][fade]CODE RED[/fade][/glow]!!!!
-
he walked a guy and gave up a [expletive] seeing eye single Eh; before today he had a 12.60 ERA and a 2.600 WHIP and opponents hitting .364 .517 .682 1.199 in 8 appearances against them this year. Just one of those things.
-
Maddon made some...interesting choices in those last 2 innings.
-
Joe's having a weird day.
-
Get bent, ump.
-
I've been here the entire game through thick and thin, actually. And look how excited you are now.
-
It's like this is the moment Ski was dying to have happen. Look how excited he is.
-
I've never seen a team turn the corner as quickly as the Cardinals do. It's some voodoo [expletive]. Yeah, it's not like we're fans of a team with a ridiculous amount of walkoff and come from behind wins this year or anything.
-
Well, that was quick.
-
Alright, this [expletive] is locked down now. THERE WILL BE NO MORE CARDINAL NONSENSE.
