I wasn't with them, i was at the ballpark at my nephew's game, i swung a bat and my plant leg knee twisted amd popped out of place or something. I bent it and felt it pop back in and this morning i cant bend it.

Sucks getting old

What’s a better way to start a three day weekend then having payroll easily screw up your paycheck?

The payroll lady works hard bro. Mistakes happen

It actually wasn’t payroll. It was actually our scheduling team that screwed up. Long story short, they forgot to include a paid vacation day that I took and marked it as unpaid voluntary time off for a full day 🙄🙄🙄

I even pulled up the day that clearly showed I took vacation time for that day. Unbelievable

You may need to define familiar, but yes I am

Ha - just curious how far it is from downtown ATL. Perfect Game World Series is there between July 13-20 and I am trying to plan everything and I am not familiar with Cartersville.

I'm not sure it's the kiss of death. Presidents' Trophy winners have gone on to win the Cup 8 times in the award's existence, which is 25% of the time. There are 16 teams in the playoffs, and if the top overall seed out of those 16 wins 1 out of every 4 times, that is a definite correlation.

The NHL Playoffs have always been more of a crap shoot than other sports; the Predators themselves were an 8 seed (and had fewer points than any other playoff team) last year and made the Finals. The Kings won it all as an 8 seed a few years ago. According to the article below a 3, 4, or 5 seed wins the Cup 36% of the time; a 1 seed, by comparison, wins 35% of the time.

Men,

I am seeking clarification on the correct pronunciation of Ronnie Baseball’s last name. My understanding is that it is pronounced:

Uh-coon-yah

Please confirm or correct.

Eight teams have. If you’re good enough, you’re good enough.

Nashville home ice is huge.
