BP During BP?!

That's right boys and girls: BP during BP with BH and a BH!

Interpretation:  Bread Pudding during Batting Practice with Ben Hoel and a Bobble Head.

Because baseball is a game of numbers, let me share some with you:

21: Years I have been a Mariners fan.
7:  Games the Mariners are out of first place at the All-Star Break
1: Times I have now eaten bread pudding at the Hit it Here Cafe

You heard it here first: On Saturday, I combined my two greatest loves (excluding Ben) into one glorious evening at Safeco.  So here's the story:  My pops has season tickets, so Ben and I go to Mariners games as often as we can find an excuse to drive the 3 hours north to Safeco.  We had this Nelson Cruz Bobble Head night on the books for practically ever.



THEN...someone owed Ben a favor, that favor-ower could get us a free meal at the Hit it Here Cafe, blah blah blah, BREAD PUDDING! That's really the story in a nutshell.  So now I would like to describe to you my feelings about the bread pudding through a series of Mariners GIFs: 

The flavor:

A nutty, cinnamon-y taste. The flavor was so comforting, it put me in a zen-like state.  You can relate, right Joe?


The texture:
WHY ARE THERE NO GIFS OF LOMO?!  I suppose I will just have to use a series of pictures that demonstrates that the happiness that LoMo brings me is the same as the happiness I felt about the BP texture. Here you go:

I feel the same way about soggy, mushy bread pudding as I do about watching Rodney waddle in from the bullpen in a bottom of the ninth save situation (e.g. not a fan at all).  The good news is that this bread pudding is not a Rodney save situation.  The Hit it Here Cafe did the texture right.  The BP had a nice hardened outer layer and a warm, mushier inner layer. It was the perfect texture contrast.  I wish all bread pudding was created this way.  I also wish I never have to see Rodney in the ninth again.




The cream:

Cream instead of ice cream was a poor choice with this one. Who made the call to use cream, here? Tony Randazzo?


Conclusion:

Okay, okay. So this Gif is from last year. But let's be honest, it's hard to find a gif of my favorite player (I'm looking at you, Farky) when he's been hanging out in Tacoma more than Seattle this year. 

So all in all, the bread pudding was solid, the game was even more solid (5-0 victory behind Iwakuma) and  to  the Japanese reporter who asked in the post-game press conference, "So is it safe to say that The Bear is back?", I say, "Hellz yeah he is, especially with Bread Pudding like that cheering him on from right field."

Bring on the second half of the 2015 season...
