@JenniferS I am watching the extra inning match between the Braves and the Nationals....they are tied at 7. Yet I thought of you because the out of town scores came on the screen: Mets 17 / Blue Jays 1 ...ouch!

18-1, final score.@JenniferS I am watching the extra inning match between the Braves and the Nationals....they are tied at 7. Yet I thought of you because the out of town scores came on the screen: Mets 17 / Blue Jays 1 ...ouch!
We brought in a position player to pitch the 9th. He was probably our best guy all night.

Knoxville Tiger update:
A couple more sightings today. Up in the air whether legit (a tiger) or not. The Knoxville deputy who first spotted the animal this week assures it is legit.
A woman out in the Kingsport area saw one today, posted a pic on Twitter of a bobcat with a striped tail.
Knoxville Zoo has made it very clear that none of it's tigers are missing.
Mystery cat is still at large, and now is getting it's own line of merch:

In Braves country we call that "the playoffs".

Raptors lost tonight too. Mikey is sad. The reigning champs are out.

I always say I’d rather lose big than a heartbreaker. We’ve lost plenty of both this year.18-1, final score.

Thanks! We always donate to a place here in the Netherlands. You have to have like 25 or 30 cm. Well....she's got twice that, so we're good. This is her 3rd donation, and I think I've donated 2 or 3 more times than she has...I've lost count. I know I donated the first couple of times in the US. I chopped mine off in December, but she wanted to enjoy her long hair for a bit longer. Now she was tired of it getting in the way. Her friend sat on it yesterday at school, and she got it stuck in between 2 tables, and it's just been a nuisance lately, so OFF WITH HER HAIR!

I just saw an article on Yahoo Sports that stated the ratings for the NFL's Season opener this recent Thursday were : "SHARPLY DOWN"
Let's see how it goes tomorrow.
I just read your post, opened Twitter, and the first thing I saw was "2020 NFL Kickoff game on NBC featuring Houston Texans and Chiefs is most-watched sporting event since Super Bowl."
In the article it said it's only the 2nd program to surpass 20 million viewers since the Super Bowl, with the other being the Academy Awards in February. It said the online streaming of the season opener was up 55% from last year's season opener. This is despite the NBA and NHL having playoff games on at the same time.

That's so weird. Why would Yahoo Sports have a completely different article? It said stuff like " possible bad news for the NFL".
From what I've gathered, TV ratings are down, but streaming platforms have increased quite a bit. I don't think the streaming options are part of the "ratings". Sounds like ratings don't matter as much anymore since TV viewers are declining in favor of streaming platforms. And last year's season opener had record high TV ratings, so having a dip this season isn't anything crazy compared to openers before 2019. Especially when there are now multiple other sports competing. My guess is if there weren't other playoff games happening, we'd see similar numbers to last year, or even better.

I am at a small social gathering here next to the bay in Ocean County NJ. It is really my wife's friends so I keep peeking on this forum.

COVID came long before it was time to start making FastPasses, so I’m not really sure which park we would have ended up in, but I know where dinner was to have been.
Jen and Mike headed up the elevator ... just as the Raptors are all packed up and headed down.
Mike had plans of a beer or two on the top deck patio, and another one or two at the bar on the water.
Instead, I worked. Sold a house. Working on another one or two. It’s all good.

We stopped at the grocery store on the way home, and I picked up some jube jubes.
Mike: Don’t eat too many, you won’t want supper.
I ate 13 (9 green, 4 orange) ... and now I don’t want supper. (Air fryer baked garlic/parm wings and Greek salad.)
