I don't know if Alfalfa has actually said that in so many words, but after reading this article over at oilprice.com my hunch he has said enough along this line to make folks roll their eyes.
For what it's worth, the linked article is something for the archives. The data point to watch: the amount of fossil fuel Saudi Arabia is importing. We've been talking about this for several years.

The Sports Entertainment Page
I assume every major television outlet (is that the right word? I'm blocking on this) in the country has a station devoted to the local baseball team: NYC (Mets and Yankees); Los Angeles (Dodgers); Boston (Red Sox); Minneapolis (the Twins); St Louis (Cardinals); Chicago (whatever). But, it seems it would be hard to beat what Channel 36, FSSWD, has in the DFW area: the Texas Rangers coverage. Tonight, the Rangers are in Seattle, so a late game for us here in Texas. Wow, the network does a great job. Pre-game. The game. Post-game. Even the commercials are awesome.
Cable gets more and more expensive, but here I am, watching the Rangers in Seattle. Whatever cable is costing me, it's a lot less than what it would cost to fly there, take an Uber, and then purchase stadium tickets, T-Mobile Park.
By the way, in a different time, and a different place, I would be watching the St Louis Cardinals tonight with a most wonderful woman.
Wow, wow, wow .. first pitch of the game -- solo home run -- of course it's "solo" -- it was the first pitch of the game. Shin-Soo Choo. Coincidentally, Shin-Soo Choo, now playing for the Texas Rangers, has also played for the Seattle Mariners, who they are playing against tonight. Why didn't the announcers mention that? I bet they didn't know that. LOL.

I'm on the fence whether to buy one. But talk about a huge marketing coup.

Link here. What a mess.
Trust me, everyone in Seattle knows Choo played for them. On of many young talents that the M's have given up on too soon in last 20 years.
ReplyDeletePS- tickets in the cheap seats at (Safeco) T-Mobile park are still less than $10 for most games.
Thank you for taking time to write. I'm almost embarrassed that I would post stuff that folks "waste" their time reading, but I really, really appreciate you reading the blog, and taking the time to write.
DeleteBy the way, cheap seats for the Texas Rangers are also in the $10 range. As are NASCAR tickets at Texas Motor Speedway. What a great country!
