The Dugout - General Topics, Chat, Random Photos and Memes.......No Politics

Right back at ya! It’s going to be a day of “relaxing” so my son says. I will believe it when I see it 🤣

So far I’ve, changed the litter, taken out the trash, made breakfast, made lunch, started a load of laundry, emptied the dishwasher and straightened the house up while trying to keep my parents and siblings entertained.

They finally left so we’re about to take the kid to the park and hopefully tire him out for some peace and quiet.

I got a brisket ready to hit the smoker tomorrow since I have the day off
 
We had 6 and 10 on VHF and 26 on UHF, then my life was changed forever when 43 came along on VHF!
G.I. JOE, He-Man, Thundercats...
The good ol’ days!
I remember those 3 channels and when the 4th was added. At one point two of the channels traded their affiliates with one another.
 
Something I had not known about, Rivera was unprotected by the Yankees during the 1992 expansion draft. The Marlins were set to select Rivera with their next pick, however the Rockies selected Brad Ausmus and the Yankees didn’t have to give up any more players. After Rivera had struggled through 1995, the Yankees considered trading him to Seattle for shortstop Felix Fermin, but Steinbrenner was finally convinced to hold onto RIvera and allow rookie shortstop Derek Jeter an opportunity to play. After the 1999 season, Rivera considered to retire and become a minister after 4 more seasons. He decided not to follow through with those plans, obviously. I can’t help but think that those Yankees teams would’ve looked a lot different without Rivera. Crazy to look back at how these decisions could have drastically changed the trajectory of that franchise during those years.

Thanks for sharing. As Artie Johnson would say, "Berry interesting!"
 
I thought TBS was the best channel ever created for us.
My grandparents had cable and when I would go stay with them, it was great! I’d watch Disney and Nickelodeon and the WGN and TBS with my papaw, for Braves and Cubs baseball!
I spent plenty of weekends, watching baseball with my papaw!
He was a good one and I miss him!
GBO!!

In the beginning, TBS Superstation was like SNL before SNL became a real thing. They had some guy working there that would be sitting at a desk with an ugly curtain behind him just giving the nightly news.
