poll answer - eating Q-Doba take out from Wednesday - Mexican Gumbo for the win! - JenBro Aug 2, 09:54 12
- I saw that poll. Having a pat rule of not tipping on takeout orders is unwise if you plan on returning - con_carne Aug 2, 10:03 9
  - At places like Chipotle, Subway, etc. I'll throw my spare change into the tip jar. If I'm getting takeout from a local restaurant, I'll tip a few - kelly Aug 2, 10:33 1
    - The chain places is where I draw the line, I guess. I don't if I've ever even seen a tip jar at a Subway... -- nm - con_carne Aug 2, 10:43
  - I guess the closest I've gotten to a take out order in recent years is Papa Murphy's 'take and bake' and they don't get tipped. - Meg Aug 2, 10:13 3
    - Right, the fast food chain restaurants don't count. And, I've never been to Papa Murphy's or QDoba. -- nm - con_carne Aug 2, 10:27 2
      - Q-Doba is good - but still new to me - I've had it maybe 4 times? wish it was closer - I might be a regular :) -- nm - JenBro Aug 2, 10:37 1
        
        There is one near my momma's house, but she is a Chipotle woman -- nm - con_carne Aug 2, 10:55
  - I guess I've just always equated tipping with waiter/waitress/bartender - not a cashier? - JenBro Aug 2, 10:09 1
    - Pretty much. The opportunity has to be there. But, if you're going to be a regular, you're going find a way to do it if you really want -- nm - con_carne Aug 2, 10:14
  - sometimes the waitress has more work to pack up a to go order esp if they are not known for to go orders -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 2, 10:08

      - Lots of veggie soups out there........ -- nm - Meg Aug 2, 10:08
      - Soup could be put on the winter roster. I wouldn't count it out yet. -- nm - Krusty Aug 2, 09:54 1
        
        yep - that was why I hesitated ... -- nm - JenBro Aug 2, 10:19

- The Rangers finally made one good decision. Not sure it makes up for the A-Rods of the past. -- nm - GregW Aug 2, 09:55 1
  - I would say that have made quite a few good decesions lately. - groiny Aug 2, 10:00
- Maddux was never a big K guy, if I remember right. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 2, 09:22 19
  - Halladay also. -- nm - Shaun Aug 2, 10:38
  - He got strikeouts by precision but he probably set MLB records for weak groundouts. - David Aug 2, 09:56
  - His career K/9 is 6.06 so just about average. -- nm - Krusty Aug 2, 09:25
  - (he only had 200 once) - Strongbad Aug 2, 09:24 14
    - I am looking at his stats now. 94 and 95 he was *sick* - Strongbad Aug 2, 09:25 13
      - Best pitcher of our lifetime. - David Aug 2, 09:56 1
        
        this I agree with you on. - groiny Aug 2, 09:57
      - One of the best to ever step on a mound. He was a machine through the 90s. -- nm - Krusty Aug 2, 09:26 10
        
        I remember arriving in Atlanta and hearing Braves fans complain about going to games where he was the SP - Strongbad Aug 2, 09:28 7
        
        I loved watching him pitch. The circle change he put on the outside corner to righties was devastating. - Krusty Aug 2, 09:32 6
        
        He also had that inside cutter that would curve into a strike. It was majestic and unhittable. -- nm - David Aug 2, 09:57 3
        
        I can picture that pitch in my mind right now. -- nm - Jelly Aug 2, 10:21
        
        Yup. Like Groiny said, it was art. - Krusty Aug 2, 10:07
        
        except that one he threw Will Clark when he was on the Cubs in the playoffs. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 09:58
        
        yeah, watching him pitch was like art. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 09:32 1
        
        Very much so. -- nm - Krusty Aug 2, 10:07
        
        I would say, given the speed of his pitches, he did more with less than anyone ever. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 09:28 1
        
        Possibly. It was sinkers and changeups with the fastball on occasion. -- nm - Krusty Aug 2, 09:34
  - not really. Strikeouts are overrated. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 09:23
- The rest of MLB has 2 14 K games this season. -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 09:22
- how many of those were vs the Astros? -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 09:22 3
  - 1. 1 against Boston. 2 against Arizona. -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 09:23 2
    - and he lost one of those 4 games IIRC. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 09:24 1
      - Yes, he lost to Arizona giving up four runs. -- nm - Krusty Aug 2, 09:26
