After bowing to pressure and moving the all-star game from Atlanta, now the baseball commissioner says he won’t lobby for the Braves to change their name or stop the tomahawk chop – though you’ll never know if he might change his tune under duress. I’m sure he was just responding to a question from the liberal media, but I’m sure this will again become a hot button topic. Haven’t heard if the commissioner has withdrawn his membership to Augusta National. Prediction: the fans will chop, but the Braves won’t even play the drumbeat like they had all year.
The more pitchers you have, the increased likelihood about one having an off night. Hoping Ian can go deep into games 2 and 3. Morton was replaced by Tucker Davidson, a rookie starter who was lights out earlier this season until he got hurt. Hopefully he’s been pitching simulated games, and can pitch longer than just 2 or 3 innings.
Haley Hurt drug David to the Battery to watch the game. They might’ve been there for game one as well. Will watched game one at Joel Norman’s house. Anna went out with friends to watch the game.
Friend of mine bought full season tickets for the Braves 2022 season so he could also purchase 2021 World Series tickets for games 3, 4, and 5. He will sell the game 4 and 5 tickets to help pay off the season tickets, and most of next year’s tickets as well. Lots of guys do this, selling tickets they don’t use to pay for the tickets they do use. They can also sell the tickets back to the Braves for credit toward the 2023 season.
Bucs complete deal with fan who gave up Tom Brady's 600th touchdown ball: season tickets this year and next, two Brady jerseys and one Brady helmet, a Mike Evans jersey and cleats, and a $1,000.00 gift card to the team store.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin may be interested in the LSU or USC openings.
When I retire I need to write two books, on (1) my high school football team’s state championship season, and (2) the football player who gained the most yards in history. Guess I need to get started on them now.
Monday: got a decent amount done yesterday. Kept plugging away. Left work at 5:20 and headed to small group. A good discussion about Acts chapter four, which includes a prayer for boldness that’s still applicable today.
Wednesday at lunch I had a focus group, getting opinions on different breads and buns. So that was my lunch.
M and C cooked chili for supper.
MARK McGWIRE [B-R Bio] was the first player to hit 30 home runs in each of his first four seasons in the major leagues. Big Mac hit 30+ from 1987-91: 49, 32, 33 & 39. He also hit 40 or more six times. He is the only player ever to average 60 home runs per season over any four-year period while playing for multiple teams in the majors. From 1996 thru 1999, McGwire totaled 245 homers, averaging 61.25 per season. His career record for ratio of at bats per home run is better even than Babe Ruth’s. McGwire’s 10.61 HR per AB is the best all-time, followed by Ruth's 11.76, Bonds' 12.92, and Thome's 13.76.
Emotional intelligence: having the skills to look at reactions to emotional situations in a logical way, managing your emotions, thinking before speaking.
1. Self awareness and self management – keeping yourself in check. Being aware of your own emotions and being at peace with yourself.
2. Social awareness – the ability to have a positive view of others by understanding signs and emotions of others.
3. Relationship management – reading the ques of others and reacting in a positive way. Listening and being able to resolve conflicts, not create them.
When things go wrong, instead of responding to stress in a negative way, breathe and focus on what’s important. Don’t sweat the small stuff – and it’s all small stuff. Is what you’re mad about or arguing about really important? Is it worth damaging a relationship?
