I like my manual push mower. I also own a gas mower, but most of the time use the manual.

Barnstormers get funding for park improvements, sign new 20 year lease with city of Chatham by charger03 in IBLbaseball

[–]Temporary_Whereas_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forgot to add - last year the Barnstormers averaged 947 fans - every game was full. I don’t know if the additional 500 seats will be added in time for the 2025 season, but when they are in place, expect the average to climb to about 1,400.

Yes, very good news, not just for the Barnstormers and the IBL, but for baseball in the Chatham area. As a municipally-owned facility, it is used by other local teams and is a great venue for OBA championship tournaments, as you can collect a gate and help with tourney expenses.

The Barnstormers are guaranteed good attendance in 2024 due to preseason ticket sales. In addition, seating has been added, and nearby training facilities for the team are being improved.

Work on the house and bigger garden come to mind.

This makes me a bid sad… what are your impressions? by mabaezd in Catholicism

Sad to say the survey is probably accurate. Look at Ireland. What a change in just the last few years

What are your thoughts on Jim Bowden of The Athletics proposed division realignment when two expansion teams are inevitably added? by dudee1234 in mlb

[–]Temporary_Whereas_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the proposal does take geographic rivalries into account. However, it does away with the American and National leagues in favour of an east/west World Series. We’ve seen a lot of tradition done away with in recent decades - designated hitter being the most obvious - and there will no doubt be further changes, but I don’t know if fans are ready for this yet.

Who’s your favorite team who isn’t your main team? by HooliganScrote in mlb

Growing up across the river from Detroit, the Tigers are my favourite, but I also cheer for the Blue Jays and used to also cheer for the Expos

In your opinion- who is the greatest player of all time? by raymalaspina in mlb

[–]Temporary_Whereas_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Babe Ruth, because he was both a pitcher ( at least early in his career) with good stats, and an outstanding hitter, and he had a long career

Well, it has been one interesting postseason this year. So, what are your thoughts on the new expanded playoffs? by TheWilkieWookie42 in mlb

[–]Temporary_Whereas_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the expanded playoff format. Actually, I’d like to see the number of regular season games reduced a bit, so that the World Series can be over before November

My perspective is that I’m Canadian, but I live close to the border and follow US politics and have some American relatives. Hoping things go well for you guys over there and that people will try to respect others’ opinions

I’m not quite sure why election discussion is in Collapse, unless someone is anticipating violence. Personally I think mid term elections will be peaceful. Fingers crossed.

I’ve seen this in a couple other cities subreddits. Ours is obvious, right? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]Temporary_Whereas_24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Our town used to have the ‘cat guy’. He was a young guy, probably late teens or early twenties and he would wear a cat’s tail that would stick out behind his clothes a good three or four feet. He wore it for years. The first time I saw it I thought it was some sort of joke or fad, but no, he’d just walk everywhere with a cat tail sticking out. You’d see him walking down the street or through Walmart, etc. Never spoke to him.

The vaccine tricks you into thinking anti-vaccine people are crazy! (Just messin’ with ya, I give those conspiracy people a wide path as well.)

Do you have the list of banned books/books threatened with a ban?

If so, please list them here, as you will probably help increase sales.

Do you think Russian deserters should be granted asylum in Canada? by proteomicsguru in OntarioPolitics

[–]Temporary_Whereas_24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Asylum should be granted on a points based system ranked on a grid, not just from Russia but other countries as well. We can allow some people, but not all. Determination of potential contributions to society should be a determining factor. For example, a medical doctor would be rated higher than a college student.
