Unlike the NBA or NFL MLB and I think the NHL play on different size playing fields so when a player goes from one team to the next the ballpark they play in is very important. 50% of home runs are no brainers and would be a HR in any ballpark. But the other 50% are park dependent.
In SOM when a player hits a HR it's either a no brainer OR you need to roll a 20 sided die and see what ball park they are playing in and if he a Lefty or Righty batter. Of course singles doubles and triples are also in the mix as ballpark . . . experiences. Yelich the new Brewers LF comes from a very very good pitchers park.
Remember when the Brewers signed Suppan from the Cardinals. SOM players were aghast on this horrible signing. A ground ball pitcher coming off one of his best years from a very pitcher friendly ballpark AND he had a really good infield behind him coming to Milwaukee, a hitters park with the worst infields in the Majors.
WELL - the opposite is true for Yelich. here are the ratings for ballparks

Did they even play the Pro Bowl? There was zero mention of it in the Sports last night - even on the ticker had no mention of it. What a waste of airwaves.

Did you know it takes an average of 29.4 minutes to buy a pair of good fitting jeans?

I FINALLY got my flu shot. Piece of cake. Didn't hurt and I have been rubbing myself all over flu people all weekend. I feel great!
++++++++++++++++
I did not know the guy that invented IKEA was pro-nazi.

For $25 you can buy 10,000 Tweeter accounts to follow you. I know before the election it was found that Trump had over 1 million tweeter accounts following him that were not from America and came from one Twitter factory in Russia. Nobody cared at that point in time.

40% of all NFL players who played Week 1, at some point in the season were injured and missed at least one game. HOWEVER - of player who did not miss a game the previous year only 26% missed one game the next year.

Want to find hidden secret Military bases? Fit Bit will tell you. If you wear a fit bit devise you can be found it seems with an interactive heat map that seems to have exposed sensitive sites.
Here is one such image showing the route joggers are using in a drone site in Niger - OOPS - SURPRISE
SO - we purchased a NEST thermostat and I am applying for the $75 rebate from Columbus Water and Light. It's an awesome gadget. We have it hooked to our phones so when DJ and I BOTH leave the house it automatically turns the temp down. Here is the issue though.
Our old Honeywell thermostat was reading everything 4 degrees too high. So during the day we would have the temp set at 70 and it was REALLY 66. AT night we set it at 63 and it was REALLY 59.
So now our SMART thermostat is reading everything correctly and the house is warmer . . saving money? LOL

Didn't watch the Grammy's. watched Victoria. But I think if you win a Grammy and don't show up to get it . . . you do not deserve one. NEXT IN LINE GETS IT.

My next car will be a Ferrari LaFerrari - OMG - what an awesome car. Only 950 horsepower though. It is lighter then my Crosstrek and pollutes less. Top speed is 217 so I hope it has REALLY good brakes - HOWEVER it is slow off the line going 0-62 in 2.4 seconds and 124 mph in less then 7 seconds. Think how fast I could get to the dog park. But I can not find mpg for this baby so maybe I'll skip it
And finally binging (how the hell do you spell that word).
This is the Golden Age for Actors - with so many "networks" with so many fantastic shows you can not watch all the GOOD stuff. I think when cable TV started this is what they were dreaming about. You have to watch a lot of new shows and decide if it is good enough to watch again or not.
We did this with Victoria - BINGE and keep looking for more.
We tried Jean Claude Van Johnson - What if all of Jean Claude Van Damm's movies were just a cover and he was actually a super secret spy!! This series he makes fun of himself and it really is rather funny and an odd weird way. Not sure if it's binge worthy though.
HOWEVER - The Marvelous Mrs Maisel - based on a true story is and really is Marvelous BINGE
