Going with the Rockies tonight after going with the Dodgers last night.

And they just scored.

In other news...however they have the catcher's glove mic'd amp'd whatever sounds cartoonish.

Have to pull for former Sox pitcher Lester and also I’m a Madden fan.

I have the 2yo tomorrow. Mini mouse and tea party all day. She doesn't like hummus. I'll keep trying

I live in LA, not too far from the stadium. I've been there but never to see a Dodgers game. I have no interest in that. I understand viewer ratings are on the decline for pro sports in general.

I wonder if profits are also on the decline or if people are just watching differently and they’re still measuring the same way, like a lot of other things.

Gary suspects that TV/Cable/Satellite revenues far exceed gate receipts.

I have quite a few friends and relatives that now live outside New England who watch on their phones and tablets with that mlb package.

I've only gone to one Dodgers game in my life (last week). They lost. To the Padres. TO THE PADRES. Worst Dodger game in history.

I used to live in San Diego County. Many of the weddings I shot (context- this is a photo forum) included speeches such as 'they come together for the good times, picnics, travelling, children...and the bad times...like the PADRES GAMES...' and that was a few decades ago. Some things never change.

Oh man. Walked in to get my mug and the coffeemaker only has hot water again
What a tragedy. Other than that Mrs. Lincoln how did you like the play?

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. It rained last night ... somewhat unbelievable considering it sorta came out of nowhere ... unexpected. Mary Lou is a weather nerd and let Gary know of the impending precipitation. Gary tarped the slab before going to bed. The concrete was drying quickly, but the rain may still have damaged the stamping. Mary Lou and Gary decided on a slate stamp with a medium gray tint to match the stones around the pond. Today should be tint and a gloss finish. It will take months to decide upon and restore the yard. Miss Maggie and Gary are off on our morning constitution.

Alabama's coach Saban last week was complaining of declining fans in the stadium. IMO it's hard for someone who makes a gazzilion million dollars a year to understand that the average middle class family of four would find it difficult to spend anywhere from $250 to $400 for tickets even once a season let alone every game. Go to a playoff and you'll drop a few thousand. Sports in general are pricing themselves out of fans.

Well the Rockies were able to pull out a late win, not bad after three days of games in three different time zones. Now to root for my boyhood hometown Astros (last time I went to one of their games it was in the Astrodome).

 

[davidharmier60]

We USED to go to Astros games. But they sho nuff priced us out.
5.51 hours today and I think 15.28 or so for the week so far. Enjoying chicken tenders and gravy at the deli. Been a while.
Loaded up my truck like Sanford and Son with scrap metal. Maybe 300 pounds but maybe not. Guess I'll get rid of it before going home.

Maybe 16.28 or so come to think of it.
