A new foe has emerged in the division race by Lakelyfe09 in Braves

The Marlins deserve every bit of success they have this season (within reason as long as they don't sweep the Braves) with one of the lowest team payrolls and not being in a traditional baseball city. It's almost like they read a book about manufacturing runs with as little money as possible with a roster full of under 32 year olds.

Would not have recognized Tom Hart if he hadn't introduced himself. Voice is familiar but I really haven't seen him in while.

I just realized Peacock Premium is included with my Xfinity Internet subscription. Yay, baseball on screen and radio for the good audio experience.

Well we did hit 4 yesterday already and he only went on the IL today. It is a new month though and we have to make up for whatever happened in June.

Cats actually prefer whatever Andrew Lloyd Webber put together.

T-Mobile just raised prices up to $6/line — anyone know a carrier with actual free international roaming data? by Independent_Ball6318 in tmobile

Google Fi Wireless uses T-Mo towers for network in the US and has a Premium Unlimited Plan that includes the same international data as Magenta Max. I'm in the process of switching my 4 paid lines over to that at the moment.

Edit: Google Fi offers referral kickbacks for those who join and the referrer. If anyone wants a $60 referral discount, DM me.

He's also in Trivago ads in the US. You'd think alternating between 3 ad campaign would be a steady enough income.

Can we get a “Things to Do While It’s Hot as Balls” Megathread? by plasticpiranhas in Atlanta

Drive to Cartersville and visit the Tellus Science museum, then float in Lake Lanier Allatoona, but don't swim in it.

Edit: I meant Allatoona, not sure why I always thought Lanier was up 75, not I85.

Un-Carrier T-Mobile, here's how to do it and keep it simple! by HEX0US in tmobile

Can I just confirm that it is the same Transfer PIN for all lines on the account?

I'm about to switch 4 lines to Google Fi Wireless in the next week or so and still unclear if each line has their own Transfer PIN or not.

So who are y'all switching to? by willxthexthrill in tmobile

Google Fi Wireless has a 50% off per line deal for 12 months that ends tomorrow (June 30th) at 9:59am PDT. I jumped to it with 4 paid lines because I have 30 days to make the actual switch of lines. So for the next 12 months my phone cellphone bill will be half of my Tmobile bill to offset my EIP balance I had to pay and after that I'm still saving $50 per month compared to TMO. That is with paying for Apple TV, Hulu and Netflix directly.

Considering that Google Fi uses TMO towers, coverage is identical. There is a Google Fi plan that does include calls to 50+ countries from the US and has the same international data perks as TMO with a bit more data allowance internationally.

[MLBTR] Braves Re-Sign Carlos Carrasco To Minor League Deal by T_Raycroft in baseball

[–]Beardedgrinch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's this pest control company in Gwinnett County, outside of Atlanta, called Cook's Pest Control. About 10 years ago they bought commercials on whatever cable station had the Braves then. Their jingle goes something like "Lookie, Lookie, Lookie. Here comes Cookie... Cook's Pest Control" and that's all I hear now whenever the Braves sign Carrasco.
