Rooting for the Dodgers. I just hope that more guys start saying "fuck" on the air during interviews so maybe they'll stop doing the stupid sideline interviews.

Mr. ebk was a stagehand (and I worked the stage door) at the national touring theatre here in DC. We got the first national tour of Cats and it was a very elaborate set. Took a full 2 weeks to put in and about a week to put out after the 7 month run (and it came back 7 more times with a smaller set over the next few years). Lots of work, kinda large paychecks. So he likes to say that the show built out house, which he did build a couple of years after that run. We love Cats! Even though isn't a very good show 😄

I realize the topic is, as always, important and frustrating and needs to be highlighted so people know - and then still don't do anything... 😠 But ... this episode was all about Cats! I will always have a (very) soft spot for that horrible show because it built our house. So yay Cats!! I'm still laughing at the PSA and the relatively authentic looking costumes they were wearing at the end.

Still works. A walk-off walk would have worked. They need to throw the entire bleacher section of Dodger Stadium out. People suck. Don't make me start rooting for the Padres, dammit.

Yeah, but any win is exciting at this time of year. Especially at home. And with a walk-off. Of course they're going bonkers.

In the best way possible!

I'm not good with the screenshots like @ProudMary, but here's the link to the Max sports schedule. Looks like the game will be on there. https://www.max.com/sports/mlb

Well, that was...something. The funniest thing is they have to keep bleeping all the on-field sound out because everyone is cursing. At least that's my theory.

BTW, congrats @voiceover- I guess... 😉

Especially @Carey after you were bemoaning the fact that the Yankees are "due" because they haven't won since - checks thread - 2009. Don't mean to be mean, but I'm a little salty right now.

Um, 41 years ago isn't "not too long". At least not for me.

WHY DO WE SUCK!!!!????!!!!!! Sorry... had to yell.

This. I play this cast recording on a loop. I just love it and I'm devastated by his passing. I also saw him in The Wiz, but Ain't Misbehavin' is an experience unto itself. The Tony performance:

I'm all in for 3 games today! So... it didn't rain. The temp was quite comfy. And dinner was spectacular. Really, I love a good pitcher's duel. I just prefer it when my team scores the run.

Hoping for no rain tomorrow - I have dinner reservations at 8pm!

Not that this conversation isn't on topic, but in case anyone is interested in the documentary, there's a thread in the Netflix forum to discuss further:

This is absolutely heartbreaking.

Shit. I mean, I know he wasn't well, but... shit.

If he really cared, he'd sell the team.

I also loved her dress during the good-nights. Fabulous! I thought the show was pretty good. I think I laughed more than I have recently. Bowen was on fire tonight in everything he did. WU was great. I loved the song/jokes in the monologue. It wasn't perfect, but much better than the end of last season. Great to see everyone here again. Hope you all had a nice summer!

Indeed, but my main complaint was the writing (and, as usual, my writing wasn't so clear...). I'm kinda tired of old, out-of-it, hair-sniffing Joe.

The makeup was the best yet. The characterization... not so much.

When I worked at the theatre, I'd often run into actors while visiting NY and it was "right face, wrong place" for some of them. I was amused.

Living right between Baltimore and DC, my second team was always the Senators. And DC managed to lose 2 Senators teams. Okay, I'm not quite old enough to actually remember when the first team left for Minneapolis, so I don't hate the Twins (unless they beat us this weekend), but I will always hate the Rangers. And then there were the Colts. I'll never root for Indianapolis. Or Denver, for that matter. Blame Elway for that. I love a lifelong, deep Sports Grudge!

Just call me grandma... 😄
