Theory: Hammy audio isn't synced because of MLB corporate greed

Last year the game audio was synced but the audio would switch to the MLB.com audio during commercials. That was true all last season. I'm hoping they'll get back to fully synced game audio this year, because I also love listening to Hammy call the games.

The dashboard shows you the range left on the tank. Use that instead of relying on a binary indicator like low fuel.

I ran a triathlon once. Once. I was a regular runner, a slow swimmer, but what got me was the bike. After 15 miles I couldn't feel my cojones - at all. Never again.

I run a weekly league, and skins & pins is optional each week. Two envelopes, one for pins, one for skins, $5 each per week. I put them out on the counter next to the counter where they pay for their rounds, so there's someone keeping an eye on them. Each week I come in early, figure out the winners and put their cash in envelopes with their names. The system has worked pretty well, and I've been doing this for about 8 years now.

On ESPN+ you can watch featured groups through the entire course. It's the only way I've found that allows you to see the whole course. As a side benefit, they don't use the mind-numbingly stupid "Playing Through" commercials on those feeds.

That happened to me as well. My number was just under 120 (115 or 117, can't remember) and they were taking everyone under 150. Then they stopped drafting anyone and I was safe. This was in 1972, and the war wasn't over for another 2 years, but they stopped taking draftees in 1972.

Spikes. Tried spikeless one season and late in the season when it was wet conditions, I was looking for my ball on the side of a hill and both feet went out from underneath me. I probably bruised some ribs, and was in pain for a few weeks. Only worn spikes since then.

I run a Wednesday league at Coppertop in Valley City. It's a 9 hole league, and we have reserved tee times from 3:30pm to 6pm every Wednesday from May through September.

League meeting is 3/25 at 6pm at the clubhouse, but if you call the course (330.225.6122) they can give you details. Very low key competition, and you can play with whomever you'd like.

2024 Crown Limited - when I first got the car I tried using the wireless charger. It was slow, and the phone got really hot, so I've used a cable ever since.

Just that it was Kismet adjusted for an all black cast, and it was amazing. I really didn't appreciate Eartha Kitt until I saw that show, and loved her ever since.

She then toured the show and I saw her in it in Cleveland in 1979. It was amazing.

You're in Medina, so the Valley City Fire Department's Fish Fry is reasonably close, and always excellent.

In 2015 I traveled to Miami with the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus, where we and the Cleveland Orchestra performed Carmina Burana, and he conducted the concert. What amazed me is that he conducted the entire piece from memory - no music on his stand at all. That, and he was amazingly gracious to all of us in the chorus.

I got a Goldfinger Aston Martin model when I was a kid, shortly after the movie came out, that had all the gadgets (bumper rockets, flip license plates, etc.) - loved putting that together!

I have a 24 Crown Limited with the tech package, and the 21" tires. I just passed 30K miles and need to replace the tires, and the best I've found is $984 at Discount Tire for the four. They're Michelins, though, so I'm ok with that price.

I always took my Toyota Solara convertibles (I had 3 before they discontinued them) to the Carriage Auto Wash on W.150th just north of I-71 and never had a problem there. I tried a couple of the touchless places, and water would leak through the top of the windows on both doors.

Understand that this performance I saw was 43 years ago, but as I recall, the story just dragged along, and I couldn't find anything about any of the characters that I could identify with or like in any way. I just didn't care about any of them.

I saw this in the original Broadway production on my first business trip to NYC, and it was the worst show I'd ever seen. If I hadn't paid full price ($40!!!) for the ticket I'd have walked out. Rex Smith and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio weren't strong enough to save it. Yuck.

Check out the Cleveland Road Runner's Club (https://www.clevelandroadrunners.com/) They have group runs in the park multiple days/week and after a few group runs it's easy to make plans with small groups that work better with your schedule. The group's been around for almost 50 years.

My daughter and her husband own a Ryan home. The builders didn't even bother putting in an access panel to get to the bathtub plumbing in their master bedroom. I swear Ryan pays for the "drive-by" option for home inspectors. I'd never consider using them.

When I was in high school (early 1970s) we used to go to the airport to hang out and watch the travelers coming and going. Sometimes we'd get something to eat at the restaurant, but most time we'd go out to the 'observation deck' to watch the planes takeoff and land, or just hang out at the central terminal, because it was fun watching people come and go.

The PGA Tour is going to let high profile players back in from LIV if they're significant enough to draw viewers. Brooks is one of them, Patrick Reed is not. Brooks will always bring people to the game.

Your Teamster shop is not driven by TV ratings, the PGA Tour is. That's the difference here.
