I love baseball. There’s nothing like going to a braves baseball game and sitting in front of the Chophouse. Man, it gives me the chills just thinking about it.
 
Hopefully the Braves start getting wins vs the Rays. Go similarly to 2019, except faster.

(I hope I get proven wrong about writing off tomorrow)
 
Glad to be proven wrong at least for now here. William Contreras getting his first big league hit earlier than I anticipated is a look on the bright side 2020 thing.

(he, unlike Jackson, is a real prospect, I just wouldn't consider him to be quite ready but it has to feel great to contribute for him)

Dunno, Jackson has some serious power/pop... all fields in triple A. That may or may not translate to the Big Show.

What is with Georgia and rhyming names for minor league baseball teams ? The Macon bacon and Savannah bananas . Nobody got nothing on the Mudcats! We even had a cameo in the movie space jam!

Before COVID-19, there were a plan in works to bring a minor league team to Newnan.

I can't think of anything that rhymes with Newnan...

So Covid caused them to change their plans ?

At the very least, it delayed them indefinitely becauae of the uncertainty with crowd gatherings in the forseeable future.

Minor leagues are different from the MLB in that they rely much more heavily on "AIS" (asses in seat) in order to remain profitable.

Newnan was probably already a stretch any way given its low population density.
 
We've lost some legends this weekend. Peter Green from Fleetwood Mac, Regis Philbin, and Olivia de Havilland who was 104 !

I mean there's a minor league team in Rome. Does Rome have a much higher population density than Newnan ?
 
Folks, how much is the all you can eat chicken tenders tomorrow at o Charlie’s
 
Ben Dorkenback is leaving fox Carolina! ????
 
This is weird... my step son just got a package from UPS that contained only a golf ball with no markings. The address that was on the shipping label said it was shipped from... 18501 arenth ave city of industry ca. He did not order this. Very odd and suspicious to me.

There have been reports if people receiving mysterious seeds in the mail. Thimgs are just getting crazier. ?
 
Well, unless a monkey falls out of the sky and NC decides to require quarantines for people coming in from Georgia or we feel sick, I will be visiting NC for the first time since we went to see my military cousin when he was in Fayetteville (although we did drive through in 2017) beginning when we finish our drive on Sunday.

How is the hike just to Rainbow Falls? I'm figuring with a lot of it being downhill initially, that we might be able to reach it in 25 minutes if we go fast if we decide to just keep it simple and enter Gorges State Park (probably will because it's hard to discern that old forest road on satellite).

I have done a 3.8-4 mile roundtrip hike before on Whiteside Mountain and I'm remembering being ALONE as a 14 year old on that hike for stretches (because our party got separated, and the reason it's surprising was even at 14, my dad was protective) but since I won't be with grandparents, aunts, and an uncle as well, it just likely won't be feasible to go the whole way (past Rainbow Falls). Doing Rainbow Falls, and then trying to find that hidden area that has a nice swimming hole that's just before would probably be what we can do.
 
After 10 months, $10k worth of training classes, and 3 difficult tests, I am double certified with Microsoft, as an MCSE and MCSA. I spent a ridiculous amount of time preparing for the exams and it has finally paid off. My employer might even pay me a little more for it!
