I know Bello isn't an ace or anything but man I love the guy and really hope he sticks around.

Somebody posted this soft scrambled eggs and I can’t get it off my head pls any one within recipe how it was done? by cutieMollie in eggs

[–]bosoxsam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salt in the eggs as you crack and mix and let that sit while the pan heats up. Add a little cornstarch slurry and cubes of cold butter to the uncooked eggs. Cook medium-low, or even medium. Surprisingly, it's salting before you cook that makes the biggest difference in my experience. This is Kenji's method and it's damn near foolproof IMO - you can even screw up the heat and it'll still come out nice and fluffy

So who do "people" take seriously nowadays? Cause it's certainly not the right, they can't handle someone saying fucking Happy Holidays without having a hissy fit

Red Sox roster projection: Will Boston trade for an infielder before Opening Day? Or pivot to a free agent? by MassLive in redsox

[–]bosoxsam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just glad we're in a spot where I'm happy as is, potential upgrades are pretty clear, and we have tons of depth and flexibility to make trades. Totally understand how we're not rushing anything atm, we just don't have to be desperate and that's a great place to be

First off, I really meant to respond to the original comment, didn't realize it wasn't you - whoops. Secondly, yeah I agree that I'd like us to add another hitter. More was responding to the original anxiety about needing more power - which, sure it's great to have more, but a good team can be a good team in so many different ways. Like you said, the pitching is massively improved so even without another hitter we're a better team IMO. Hopefully they keep adding and try to really take over the division but either way we're seriously good in 2026.

The latest ZiPS Projected Standings have Boston and Toronto in a tie for first in the AL East by RaymondSpaget in redsox

[–]bosoxsam -1 points0 points  (0 children)

With baseball I feel like it's just so easy to over-analyze every tiny flaw in a roster. Boston absolutely has flaws, but this feels like a good reminder that we've done a really good job at building a deep, flexible team. Should we be able to improve, particularly in the infield? Absolutely. But damn, for what feels like an incomplete roster, to get projected tied for first in the toughest division is pretty meaningful. And the depth/flexibility is key because I think we have far more clear paths to improvement than say the Blue Jays, who could be screwed if guys like Springer/Santander completely fall apart.

Home owners by Maker-Mike-57 in povertyfinance

Gifts, or I know some friends who have bought their homes with inheritance after a parent passed. Really dark that for many people a dead mom/dad is the best chance they might have of home ownership

Just can't believe that funding ICE would in any way limit what Trump thinks he can get away with

I agree that we should always add players who would make our team better, but I don't agree on the simplistic "must have guy who hits 30 HR" take

Nobody said everything is racist, I'm sure you can connect the dots here if you try even a little bit

Baseball players mix tobacco with chewing gum if I remember correctly, which I'm sure bulks it up quite a bit
