I almost posted the results last night for you! I was watching through Game Day (graphics and stats only). The Dogs battled back from a 6-1 deficit. KC won with a walk-off in the bottom of the 9th. Great game! My wife and i attended a dozen Dogs games this year. I could tell you stories! Mad LOVE to the Monarchs!

I just might have to get one of their hats given that I am follicle challenged.

I wonder if Mini-SACDs are possible...certainly not economical...however funny as hell. One second, I have a call to make.
In the words of Frank Barone, I could eat a box of Alpha Bits and crap a better name for a baseball team.
I feel like I should clarify on this.You know I see people complain about the quality of mixes or transfer of things on SACD or Blu-ray and I think that we have it good, relatively speaking, because if you take a look at 95% of the Indian films on DVD and Blu-ray and Indian music on CD you're just glad you can see people's faces and hear people speak...
Indian DVDs, on average, until the 2010s (that's right, over 10 years after they were introduced on the market there) were absolutely HORRENDOUS. The average experience was a pan-and-scanned image, letterboxed, with either 5.1 audio haphazardly downmixed to stereo or even mono, or for the films that weren't originally in 5.1, upmixing with no option for the original track. Sub-standard image quality to boot. Film companies had all the resources, they just didn't care. Oh, and my god, the goddamn watermarks.
By the time Blu-ray hit the market (2008 or 2009), a completely different set of issues occurred. We had films in proper aspect ratios and 1:1 transfers of audio tracks, but now we had aggressive grain and detail scrubbing, wrong color space encodes, and, oddly enough, broken subtitles, which wasn't an issue on DVD! However, Blu-ray was much quicker to course correct, and there are a significant amount of Blu-rays I can count actually being the best versions. Some bad Blu-ray Discs were actually authored straight from the DCP, and apparently the original master looked that way, and other good Blu-ray Discs were authored from D-5 Tapes out of all the things! Oh we still had those stupid watermarks on Blu-ray.
Indian CDs actually used to have pretty good sound quality, but since the early 2000s, ALL of them have been subject to heavy brickwalling and poor mastering.
The point is all moot anyhow, because physical media for Indian media in India died altogether in 2019-2020, and I think there's extremely few releases trickling out anymore. Not that there are any good films trickling out either.

Every spring I get the urge to order ball caps for the Nippon Ham Fighters or Han Shin Tigers. But of course I never get around to it.
I kinda like the ketchup/mustard squeeze plushies for the Dogs!
Ugh. No offense intended, but I love me some white sand beaches, like we have on the Gulf coast of Florida.
Lobster roll looks yummy though.

I don't think I will get a Chicago Dogs hat. They are $30 a pop.
Are blanks made that size anymore?
I'm not sure. You sure as hell can press Mini-CDs and DVDs, so I don't see why Mini-SACD would be out of the question...
If I had a nickel for every time someone called a cheap TV and a soundbar a "home theater" system I would be swimming in money.
