WERTH.

Nice.

Is Stephen Drew still sick?

He's the GOAT bench player

Yeah. Vertigo

Murphy HAS to be the NL MVP

It would be a travesty for them to give it to someone else

MURPHHHHHH!!!
BUFFALOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Agreed. It's not even close.

>It's a JUST Smarga start

Why is everything falling apart

Oh boy time for the nightly "THINK of how great this team will be when Bryce Harper locks in" from FP

I like FP. He's fun but he does overboard sometimes.

I like him too. But seriously FP. We all remember how great he was last year and we all reaize how shit he is right now. You don't need to reassure us every night as if we're going to call for him to be cut.

>Avalanche of fugly jints slags incoming

Jints swinging early in the count only help Gio. Patient hitters fuck him up.

...

...

>patience?
>The FLAILING Jints
Makes every pitcher look good

Just need a fly ball harp.

Don't worry. 2016 Bryce excels at hitting fly balls 4-5 feet short of the warning track

Gio has control issues. Foul off a couple pitches and you have a good chance to walk. Then he unravels.

What? The Giants scored a run?

>samardzija

my god.

was his early season success just a fluke?

You guys ever use a rice cooker before?

I just ordered one on amazon

You're late ... how's the pokemon hunt?

it's fine. right now i'm just sitting at my desk at work. so i just get whatever pops up. just caught a clefairy T B H

Rinse the rice and follow the directions and you'll be fine.

Cook it with too little water and it'll come out a little raw; too much and you'll have mushy rice (or worse congee [rice soup]).

I fucking love Trea Turner

the $90 million homer-server

I hope the Nats knock SF out of 1st.

can someone explain the adrianza meme to me? he was never good. to me, he's a poor poor man's joaquin arias

He was hitting over .300 in the minors and was called up to possibly help this slumping team. Instead the team's slump is dragging him down.

Buy a quality rice and you don't need to rinse it - rinsing it also removes some of the nutrients.

Also note the amount of water needed per cup varies slightly with kinds of rice (i.e., white vs. brown).

Rice cookers are great - although they make it really easy to develop diabetes from eating all that tasty rice.

>Buy a quality rice

Any recommendations? I like Jasmine rice, or do you mean a specific brand?

Kek that pic is so damn true

Based Willy

Fuck this

I meant brand, not all rice brands are the same.

Not to sound like some kind of rice-hipster, good sushi rice is more expensive but it's worth it. I like Nishiki and Kokuho, though most of the time I compromise between quality and cost and get a good Thai jasmine.

You might ask at a local sushi place what kind of rice they use. Sushi chefs know their rice.

Wings on a streetcar is just retarded. You have to be doing about 150 mph before a wing will give you enough downforce to make up for all the drag it creates.

If the Giants can't even beat up on Gio that doesn't bode well for the rest of the series.

>cunter dense

The rinsing actually depends on how sticky you want the cooked rice to be.

The white stuff rinsing away is starch, which will determine stickiness. Some cooking shows will tell you to rinse it 'til the water is clear to get really fluffy rice where the rice grains separate from each other.

So, , depending on the quality of rice you buy, after a while you'll figure out how much rinsing to use to get the type of cooked rice you want. (e.g., Texas Long Grain rice is usually ok with one rinse only; short grains like California rice are stickier).

Thai Jasmine rice:
Dragonfly and/or Butterfly brands should be ok. Other Thai brands tend to end up a little sticky.

For Japanese brands: Nishiki and Kokuho () are good.

He looks terribad on defense. Is that normal?

Casilla's balk-off was the moment everything went wrong for the Giants.

see no patience, at all

Yup. I see. No wonder they're getting carved up. Who's the hitting coach?

Noice

Thanks for the advice, fellas

Hahaha. WTF?

You guys are making me hungry for Thai food.

An actual, real-life royalty ...

haha, this exchange reminds me of talking rice with my Japanese ex-gf.

Her family would have had less of a reaction to me saying she should get gangbanged by niggers in the living room than me suggesting they use the "wrong" brand of rice, or rinse it the wrong way.

SKEETER WILL HAVE HIS REVENGE
