OT The worst opening day pitch of all time


Trill

Recommended Posts

Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory's off target first pitch is getting a lot of milage,face time and publicity for Cincy and himself on Youtube and Jimmy Kimmel.He has been self depreciating and probably stands a good chance for reelection. I love Eric Davis's reaction, the ump tossed him.

I caught that on the news today. It was freaking hillarious!

 

On a related note, Dice K looked awesome today. Go Sox!

 

 

He shut down the Reds in spring training , they all looked confused. Must be the gyroball :)

 

Of course for what they payed he better be good,but I'm sure he'll make that back for Boston in liscensed endorsements in a global market.

Every time Cincinnati makes the national news, I want to crawl under a rock and hide - it's never good. :freak::crazy::)

I read where they cant open enough Japenese restaurants in Boston to serve all of the Japanese press and tourists which are coming in just to watch him play.

I'm quite sure the endorsements will more then recoup what they spent on him.

I thought Mallory just made a bad pitch until they let him try it live on Jimmy Kimmel. The first one went wide right into the helmeted crowd ,the second bounced up to the plate with actor Kurt Russell making a nice play on the scoop to make it look a little better than it was.Kurt actually used a professional looking catchers block and scoop on the play.

He had a good amount of english on it, just a bad trajectory! He should have tried to throw it to 3rd base and it would have been right down the middle.

Maybe so, but they still have Skyline! You don't appreciate what you have until you can't get it anymore.

Indeed! To us Cincinnati musicians, Skyline is a sacred post-gig ritual! Haven't been there in a while though - trying to watch my weight... :(

See, Mayor of Cincinnati is not a real post - he or she is nothing more than the rotating chairman of the city council. You don't elect a mayor, you elect a council person who eventually gets their turn at being mayor.

 

After all, Jerry Springer was our mayor once!

 

Cincinnati has a unique tradition of chili parlors, which serve a unique concoction known as Cincinnati style chili. It's almost impossible to get anywhere else in the country, and is usually served over spaghetti noodles. It is really more of a meat sauce than normal chili, and when you get a plate piled high with all the trimmings such as grated cheese and onions...

 

Well let's just say there is nothing finer after a gig.

 

Skyline is the largest chain of chili parlors in the city, although I also like Goldstar.

I'll take a 4 way with onions and a coke please. :thu::snax:

 

If the non-Cincinnatians have not been completely turned off yet by the thought of putting chili over spaghetti (and btw, the proper way to eat a plate-full is to cut the spaghetti with your fork... never twist, this ain't no Italian restaurant), then telling them that the secret ingredient to Cincinnati style chili is chocolate just might put them over the edge. :freak:

 

I do wish Skyline would just stick to tradition. The cheese filled sausage coney's were good but over-powered the chili and the habenero cheese in place of the shredded chedder just isn't right. IMHO of course.

Well, I, for one, ain't at all turned off by the idea of chili over spaghetti. To me, it's two great tastes that taste great together! ;)

 

Actually, we've got a small chain here in the D.C. area called Hard Times Cafe that specializes in chili served over spaghetti. I have no way to compare it to the Cincinnati original (and Hard Times does serve a variety of chilis, including Texas-style), but it's definitely good eats! Their menu even has the lingo down, with the whole "3-way," "4-way," and "5-way" thing. Check it out: Hard Times Cafe Chili Menu.

 

Now, I'm really hungry!!

 

Peace,

Noah

Okay, what is Skyline"???

 

Skyline Chili

You guys have to be kidding right? That stuff's to chili what hot dogs are to steak - not even close.

 

Yea, but sometimes a good hot dog just hits the spot! :thu:

That's the thing, it's not even to be compared to chili, it's a different substance altogether - just call it "Skyline" if the term "chili" offends. We won't get mad, we'll just get a few cheese coneys instead! :love:
