Mount Rushmore of Cookout Bites

    

    The high is going to be 79 and sunny the weather is cooperating with your family cookout today! The Boston Baseball Red Sox play the Nationals in the nations capital at 11:05. Lucas Giolito is on the bump today he's been nails for his last 3 starts currently boasting a 4-1 Win Loss, and a 3.99 ERA, if he continues to do his job the Sox should have a shot this afternoon against the NL East. As you enjoy a hopeful Sox W here are some foods that you need to be grubbing on this impeccable independence day. 
    Your gonna need your Hot Dogs that's a non negotiable, what is the 4th without your dogs, Joey went for 76 last year I am telling you he his going he is going for 80 this time around. Your gonna need a light toast on the roll. The perfect dog has a light toast on the roll with a minor crunch on the bread. Pay close attention to the order of the order of the condiments. Ketchup is the first layer its going under the dog, the Heinz Ketchup is going to be the carpet for the dog. After this add your hot dog, Mustard, is next that's going right on the top, Non negotiable, you can't eat your hot dog with out your Mustard, your going to add your relish on the top. The relish compliments that dog perfectly, some extra options to add on the top, chopped onions, people do it! Venezulen secret is potato stix add some crunch to that dog.
    Cheeseburgers, an essential at the 4th of the July, you need to dress burg in a lightly toasted bun, get some melty cheese. Grab tomatoes, put that on there, personally ill add chips on the bun sometimes to get some crunch on there. Some will add onions and lettuce to dress it a little healthier. With Burgs, I stick to exclusively Ketchup.
Corn on the Cob, a must have on your 4th of July, boil that corn let it bubble. After, you get that boiled, bring it outside get your butter out. You need to rotate that Cob on the stick of butter, complete coverage is key. Pepper, and Salt must have, cover that cob, head to toe.
    Finally Watermelon, a fundamental at your 4th of July. The hydration is key today with the sun shining. Water Melon prep is simple, slice it into triangles throw it on your platter and serve as the refreshment to be the cherry on the top today. 
     With these 4 favorites your cookout should be firing on all cylinders! Eat like crazy drink responsibly and celebrate with your family. Go Red Sox and God Bless America!

Red Sox Through the Month of March

Image
       The Boston Red Sox started off their 2025 regular season campaign on March 27th against the 2023 World Series Champion Texas Rangers. The Sox had lofty expectations headed into the Regular Season. Notable additions being super star left handed pitcher Garret Crochet, 2 time World Series champion Walker Buehler and Houston Astros super star 3rrd baseman Alex Bregman.     The Boston Red Sox put up a fantastic showing on opening day with a 5 inning performance from Garret Crochet giving up 2 earned and 5 hits. Not the strongest but with Garret Whitlock in the rotation the Red Sox were able to weather the Ranger offense until the dynamic duo of Kristian Campbell and Wilyer Abreu showed up and showed out. Kampbell in the late innings came up huge with competitive at bats leading to his first base hit and and set up walk. Abreu made the noise on opening night with a pair of homer runs including the game winner in the 8th inning.     While opening...

Week 1 Pats/Bengals

Image
          The NFL season has kicked off with the New England Patriots heading into the Jungle, Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati Ohio. The Patriots started the week as the biggest underdog in the slate of NFL games this week. I am no gambler but to the loyal Foxboro faithful, congratulations on cashing in on a major upset. Yes the New England Patriots coming off a 4-13 season went into Paycor and upset the 2022 AFC Championship winner,     Honestly the absence of Mac Jones under center cannot be understated. Jacoby Brissett is not behind the best offensive line in the league. Most would argue that on paper they are one of if not THE worst unit in the league. Brissett under pressure made some clutch throws. Hanging in the pocket and making some big time throws to players such as Austin Hooper who led the team in receiving guards with 31 yards. Along with Tyquan Thornton and KJ Osborne who went for 27 and 21 yards respectively. The offense undoubtedly ha...

Landslide on Lansdowne!

             The 40-42 Boston Red Sox had lofty expectations going into the 2025 Major League Baseball season. After key free agency signings of Alex Bregman, Walker Buehler, and Aroldis Chapman, trading for Superstar Left hander Garret Crochet, the return of Garret Whitlock, and Trevor Story, the Boston Red Sox had immense buzz, and optimism leading into the Regular Season. With Juan Soto leaving the division, and Gerrit Cole going down with a Tommy John surgery in early March, the path was paved for not only a Wild Card berth, but even competition for the division. The soap opera that has been the Boston Baseball Red Sox have shown anything but competitiveness for the American League East Division.      The major story of this season rides along the story of 3rd baseman Rafael Devers, and the dramatics of him giving up his position to make room for superstar free agent signing Alex Bregman. Rafael Devers was a brat during this process,...
