Yes-it?s winter in the southern hemisphere.

August snow for Gibby.

We all know Gibson has participated in a lot of sports as an amateur; I don?t know if skiing is one of them, but if it is, he could definitely get a lot of skiing in in August if he could get the time off of work.

He played a lot of hockey. I know this because I skated with him for years. He was a little shaky in the beginning, but got a lot better. Had a very heavy shot and got real frustrated from chasing me around the rink.

Yes, I specifically remember hearing him talking about playing hockey-this was after he retired from the MLB as a player-in a radio interview.

I actually had a dream it was snowing in Aug last night, how weird is that. What is this some sort of collective thought based holographic projection or sumpin

If this was the politics board, I would make a joke that it?s an experiment in mass mind control perpetrated by the libdemchicomcybertechnocracy.

But it isn?t so I won?t.

Technically that "should" fall under the Science & Astronomy board - the joke.

Rally falls short.

they'll have less money to pay announcers moving forward as the trend is now streaming, over cable companies carrying them. I don't think Dish is bringing it all back at all, they say it's not cost effective for them anymore as not enough people watch games through traditional cables companies anymore. I called and complained but it all makes sense. Companies like Dish and others will go the way of the dodbird

Did they win?

No?

Closing in on 50 games under .500 already.

All that's left now is IF the Kittens can avoid being swept in game 2 of the "doubleheader" tonight, (VerHagen SP) and if not, then avoid being swept in 4 tomorrow afternoon.

Don't really see how this lame excuse for a MLB team will win the necessary dozen games during the remainder of this season, and avoid tying or breaking the '03 team's record. Maybe with roster expansion in September, but even then it already seems increasingly unlikely.

I wonder if it will effect non traditional methods, like PS Vue, Sling, YouTube TV (I have this), DIRECTV Now etc? Doesn't effect me since I don't live in Michigan anymore. But I suspect if Dish took it off but DIRECTV still has it people will move from one to the other..

Apparently only some Fox Sports channels went away? I suspect others will follow.

Currently on pace to lose 114.

Makes sense since Dish owns them.
