MLB 2022: The Long and Winding Thread

I know we have a travel thread but given this is a baseball specific request I figured it could go here: my buddy and I are resuming our dad and lad baseball road trip weekend in August with a trip to Cincinnati (it's close enough to Toronto and we've never been there). We are looking at staying in Covington and have no interest in driving to GABP. I see you can walk, is that really a viable option?

We are going to two games and will have a day to tool around, any recommendations on stuff to do in Cincinnati or Covington - restaurants, bars, barbecue joints - all appreciated. Thanks, I will hang up and listen.

 

Does anyone else think the Steinbrenner Family is more politically aligned with desantis than sanity? And I always thought trump’s role model was George Steinbrenner.

 

Resulting your trip?

 

Fucking typos

 

Always liked Montgomery Inn Ribs, not far from the stadium. Yeah, you can walk from Covington but that's a long damn bridge. Uber or Lyft.

 

I decided to look if Mike Fink’s on the river was still open. Sadly, no.

 

Off to do a few laps in the Lake of Fail.

 

Trip Wins aren’t as important as VORP (Vacation Over Results Productivity)

 

It’s a 20-to-30 minute walk from the banks of the Ohio to GABP, so it depends on how mobile everyone in your group is.

 

I think the Angels might need to borrow Pacino for that pregame speech.

 

Apropos of nothing, an underrated baseball-related funny thing is the automated closed captioning on MLB.TV’s condensed games and highlights.

Their algorithm is clearly phonetic and hilarity ensues when an unfamiliar surname comes up or a PBP man mumbles or slurs what they’re saying.

To wit, when Victor Caratini hit a home run into the basket at Wrigley last week, the CC tabbed him “Victor Karate”.

I will never not call him Victor Karate from this day forward.

 

Automated closed captioning is an endless source of comedy gold.
