3 game streak for only second time this season. Now 14-5 since SF swept us and it was looking rather grim at the time.

I was hoping using the Brit date format would get us to the end of April and it has worked. If the streak continues we will have games on 2/5, 3/5 etc which will mean you will start think its 5th February and 5th March. :lol:

Hope I can keep the streak going.

Go Ms

Keep it going. I'm going to New Orleans until next Saturday .Don't need to start a thread until I get back home. That is about the middle of June.

It is wild that literally EVERYTHING is different in the EU (I know you escaped the EU but we always refer to it as the EU during my career in Pharma):

1. Temperature
2. Spelling of many words
3. 24 hour clock instead of am/pm
4. Date structure
5. Measurements - Metric vs. English (Ironic that we use English)

Interesting bit on Polanco change in stance thanking Edgar that has helped his hitting along with better health on MLB central. He has closed his stance verse be open

1. I still fight the Fahrenheit fight to be fair but that Celsius bomb has long since gone, I have finally accepted Celsius for cold temperature though. 0°C is freezing (32°F) and that actually makes sense.
2. That's my favourite thing.
3. You mean you don't use 24H clock? I am shocked with that one. We talk in am/pm but probably write in 24H generally.
4. I concede that using the month first makes sense, especially when you need to do date maths (another word) on computers.
5. Britain does still want to hold on to pints and miles but the bloody EU forced us to use litres for petrol/gas and there isn't a driver in the country who understands it. Get our Gallons back. BTW petrol is about $7 per gallon at the moment. Down from about $9 at its peak.

Yeah it's fine. I think it takes a few minutes to actually work. I did a link the other day and it didn't work to begin with.

Man I'm so glad we didn't trade for Josh Naylor this off season, we really dodged a bullet on that one.

Turns out the Astro s were interested in signing polanco but he chose to return to Seattle. Why, you'd think he'd want to stay away from T-Mobile. Finally an off season move that worked. Its like Z signing Cruz
