#wdncw

We do not care that the Dodgers lost—six in a row for the first time since 2019. It‘s sad, but it‘s just baseball: a temporary diversion from reality, not meant to be a focus for all our emotions when there are real problems in the world. In short, Dodgers “fans” need to calm the freak down. It‘s a long season and we haven‘t ever played the all-star game yet. Sheesh.🙄 Get a grip people.

AmyG My team is the Rockies. They make the Dodgers look amazing! 🤣 5d
Susanita Universal fans‘ entertainment: complaining about their team! 5d

dabbe Well, that sure helps my Diamondbacks out! 😂 My sister loves to shout at the tv when they're playing poorly (which has also been a lot lately). I so agree with your #wdnc sentiment. 🩵💙🩵 5d
IriDas @AmyG The Rockies make me look ready for the big leagues this year. I look forward to watching them come back. 5d
IriDas @Susanita 😂 Yeah. It‘s actually one of the things I dislike about sports. Like, complain for a moment but some people are way too serious about it. 5d
IriDas @dabbe 👍🏼 I get upset sometimes too, but maybe I just love the game too much because when the Dodgers are losing to a team like Milwaukee It‘s sad but it‘s just amazing to “watch.” (We don‘t have cable so we only listen on the radio.) 5d
dabbe @IriDas I understand completely! And I prefer listening to the radio, too. It's the comfort sounds of summer! 5d

This book took me months to read but it was worth it. It‘s a chunkster about a troubled family trying to make their way through the 60‘s and the 70‘s in Washington. I recommend it.

@Susanita this is a great baseball book if you haven‘t read it

Susanita Oooh. Thanks! 4w

Totally shocked to win against nine others tonight. The questions to speak on was “Sports book or sports movie? Tell us about a recommendation.” So I told them about Call Him Jack. This is my first TableTopics win. In fact, winning TT was my goal in Toastmasters this year. :)

Reading for today because of several conversations and observations from the previous few weeks since “Jackie Robinson Day.”

I‘m having this weird problem with Hoopla where it won‘t let me advance through the book with the scrubber bar at the bottom. I‘m already about 25% in with the audiobook and I just DLed the ebook version. But it won‘t let me catch up; every time I slide the circle to the right it just pops back to the beginning.

Anyone else having this issue?
#hoopla

TieDyeDude Weird. I don't do many ebooks on Hoopla. Can you open it on a different device and try advancing there? It should sync when you open the device you're trying to use 🤞 1mo
AlaMich @TieDyeDude Yeah, it is weird. It does the same thing on my iPhone and my iPad. Maybe I‘ll just try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo

Really good read! Brought me back to my childhood with some of the names brought up in the book along with Chipper himself. Highly recommend for Braves fans as well as baseball fans alike.

My reading intentions for #jumpstartsummer were a bit ambitious! I got a lot of laundry done and did a little organizing, but I only finished the tagged book today. I‘ve started the other three but don‘t seem to be in the right frame of mind for any of them right now.

As with @Bookwormjillk this book didn‘t hit quite right. I liked it but not as much as I thought I would considering the topic, and it was longer than it needed to be. ⬇️

Susanita It would be interesting to read this book in “real time” along with the rhythm of the short season, but reading it over the span of a few days I thought he repeated himself a bit. And yes, I know MLB has a lot of issues around corporate ownership and capitalism, but I think he laid it on a little thick. I did, however, appreciate the reference to Charlie Slowes of the Nationals radio team. 2mo
Bookwormjillk Always a disappointment when a book isn‘t what I think it should be ⚾️⚾️⚾️ 2mo
TheSpineView I'm a mood reader. So I get the "right frame" mind thing. Thanks for joining in. 2mo

I‘m not reading this now for #hyggehourreadathon but I was reading it earlier. Better than reading the book, I‘m talking about it with a friend of my husband‘s we joined for dinner. I‘m sitting in the ghost seat in front of a column!

TheBookHippie Oh fun!! 2mo
