Will definitely be interesting to watch it all unfold. I’m fascinated by the way people watch, examine and develop theories on this stuff. Maybe this off season I’ll have time to learn some.

Hmmm. Not sure how you forget a game. But welcome! I’m running in between rooms, watching some on tv and then running in here to babble.

Guess I meant lost track of time
Nice to see runs on the score board already
I’m at home for the holiday weekend instead of at school so no tv for me to tonight. Found a stream though and hoping it’s not crappy.

At the bottom. The link called “TVAnts.” You have to have the program. Should be able to find it on Google. Takes a while to load and a couple minutes behind (most streams are). Quality pretty sharp for a stream and smooth.
Oh, and most of the radio links don’t work. A couple that usually worked aren’t working today.

Ok, thanks! I used a radio one from that site at work until I was given a portable radio. They won’t allow me to download anything, so I forgot there was a video stream part.
But I’ll remember this for home.

I love how they're talking about Yuni's "exuberance"
while showing him nearly falling asleep on the bench.

The worst thing about the Braves playing the Nationals
because of where I live, the Atlanta feed is blacked out and I’m forced to watch the Nats feed. /wrist

I think BJones is pressing tonight
probably because he’s playing RF, and he thinks that’s what our RF is supposed to do.

I always sing...
..the “My Buddy and me” song when Buddy comes in. It confuses one of my cats (the one in my avatar), because her name is Buddy.

Buddy’s been pitching over his head, and it looks like he’s regressing back to the mean all in one night.

I went to put a “sticker” on the buddy doll, and it made it the size of a pinhead, wouldn’t let me move it until about the 15th time I tried. Then when I got it the way I wanted, it seemed like it saved it, but when I tried to post it here, it was in a different color. It blended in too much in that color and made it pointless. Sigh. It just does things like that sometimes, but it’s aggravating.
On top of the blowing a lead aggravation!

Can’t you just do it in Photoshop or Microsoft Paint?

Probably (and better), but not with the time crunch. Since the photo was already in PB, thought it would be faster than opening another program, doing the edit, then re-uploading the photo to PB so I could post it here. I’m not the most astute “techie” kind of person, so let me know if there’s a faster, better way!

The Nats announces are pretty funny...
They keep acting like Carlyle, Bennett, and Taverez have shut down stuff. “A lot of zip on that fastball.” (92 MPH) “He throws that sinker just like Derek Lowe.”

Not sure I understand you. On my radio, the game’s still on and tied. Are there teams named 5, 6 and 7 or did you mean by how many? Just trying to understand…
