Huntsville and Fairhope are the only tiny tolerable parts of Alabama.

I got bored today and made you clowns a ringtone.

Correct. But, that's because it's all country around Huntsville. Knoxville has Maryville, Lenoir City and more urban sprawl

True. I live in Kingston. I have the small town feel while being able to go into Knoxville for a good meal, shopping and have no trouble transversing around Knoxville, and I can get to Chattanooga in 1 1/2 hours and Nashville in 2. Perfect.

Really?? I was there the other day and it seemed tiny!

That's because it is all definitions. Huntsville is half as densely populated as Knoxville. It will feel smaller. It is just because Huntsville (city proper) has taken up more than twice the square mileage. The Knoxville area will have more population not only in other towns within Knox Co but also neighboring counties, but still within the Metro Area.

Yes, Huntsville may have more populatiom purely in their city borders. That's because they've kept/grown the city boundaries. In many cities, suburbs will separate.

Going by Urban Area, Knoxville is 86% larger. Going by MSA, really the best indicator of a true city's overall impact as a population center, Knoxville is 78% larger.

So, the Huntsville population area is actually a lot smaller.

I figured there was a lot of ppl that just didn't live downtown, but surprising it's surpassed knoxville.

Pretty boring town though

We are screwed if this is excessive celebration.

The baseball miserables are taking the fun away.

it was a bit much. but not ejection worthy.

Why do we as consumers have to subsidize our own paid subscriptions to TV or internet to get ads or commercials?

Because Google and Disney make larger campaign contributions than you do.

It really is a big Q? And deeper than most want to ask. I get it on free channels

No chance he got tossed for this, right? Why do people want baseball to be no fun?

Oh and I was visiting a friend there

He's a transplant who doesn't care about sports

But he explained that it was really quiet at his work the week after we beat them and it makes me feel really fuzzy and warm inside

According to operation paperclip, Huntsville is where we put all the Nazis after WWII.

You mean the rocket scientists? Or also soldiers? POW internment camps were all over.

I don’t know, but the people that run the sport seem dead set on it.

As a fellow color deficient person. I’m very skeptical, how are these classes going to make me see colors I’ve never seen before. Right?

Apparently, you're not going to see colors the way someone who isn't color blind sees them but for certain types of color blindness you'll be able to at least distinguish between colors that might otherwise look the same to you. Enki's post and yours made me google and this looks like a decent explanation of what they do and don't do: Why are EnChroma glasses so expensive and what do they do? - Quora

TBH, I'm surprised they can do as much as they do but they're not miracles. They do look like they can be a useful tool and aid though if you have the type of color-blindness they aid.

Can you see orange? That's really all that matters.

A friend of mine dated a girl named Sunday… pronounced her name Sun-dee.

That’s how my people pronounced “day” in all the days of the week!

He should’ve thrown a tampon at the pitcher.

Not POWs. This was after the war. To work on rockets and such at the space center.

It's your knowledgeable, longtime traditionalists who run baseball. Idk why; but this is what I was trying to tell you the other day. They are okay with "shot clocks," apparently, but consider celebration an "attack on the solemnity and honor of the game." The "no respect for the game crowd."

I never saw anything that should invoke the ‘that’s excessive celebration crowd’.

I kinda expect a guy recruited to play basketball for Louisville to be looking to get laid even when he's on the road - lol. What I don't expect is a Duke fan catfishing a team as bad as Louisville is this season.

The civic center is called the Von Braun center after all.

Yeah, I know about Wernher von Braun and friends. I was trying to make a joke because you said "all the nazis."
