Believe magic number is down to 21 In the middle of the day I had to put my dog Kooper down. The last week I basically just stayed at home and took care of him. Made sure he was loved and Ok. He actually was doing really well after his chemo treatment on Tuesday. But after an 11 month battle with lung cancer, his cough progressively got worse from Friday night where it was normal given his condition to where in the middle of the day Saturday it sounded violent and was nonstop every time he got up or moved. He still ate treats and would be excited for a walk but you could tell when he tried to bark he couldn’t and he wasn’t able to get enough oxygen to sustain a quality of life any dog or person would deserve. So I’ve been dealing with the pain and grieving of losing him. I did so much over the last 11 months to try and help give him more time and the best quality of life he could get. I’d have given an entire lifetime if it meant he couldve been cured and lived out his life. If anyone of you have pets please get pet insurance. I wouldn’t have had the peace of mind over the last 11 months to make the decisions I had to make without it. It allowed me to really appreciate the extra time I was granted. anyway he was my dog and best friend for 13.5 years. He would always watch Eagles and Phillies games with me. Part of him probably thought I was a little nuts. But when the games were over he’d come sit next to me and with laying his head on me to pet him. Reminded me as much as i want to see my teams win that they’re more important things. So hug your dog or cat for me tonight. You have my deepest sympathy. With all the craziness and uncertainty of the last 4+ years we all have taken even more emotional strength from our canine friends. I sincerely hope you find another one to carry on the tradition of love that Kooper established and carried on. We are on our fourth and fifth Cocker Spaniels (having had one at first and then two littermates as a second "generation") and it is different, but atr the same time incredibly familiar/reminscent/heartwarming. A wonderful combination of the old and the new. Kind of like living 2017 all over again ... and 2008 and 1980 as well.
September 1, 20242 yr For anyone who is interested, there is an Eagles Season Record Prediction thread that you can access here if you want to put in your prediction.
September 1, 20242 yr At least we got the split. 1 run against our offense will be enough to get the Braves the win
September 2, 20242 yr Schwellenbach vs. Phillies: 1.72 ERA schwellenbach vs. the rest of the MLB: 4.00 ERA

September 2, 20242 yr Can’t blame nola. He went 6 innings giving up only 2 runs. Our offense is pathetic.

September 2, 20242 yr lol 5 pitch inning. Marsh and hays both can’t play together. It’s either one or the other. Just platoon them. Hays vs. LHP and marsh vs. RHP. I rather see Rojas in CF and trying to hit
September 2, 20242 yr I’m sure this game won’t go to extra innings where we will have to score the ghost runner at second to win and refuse to bunt him over.

No no topper says he knows they can't rely on the home run and have to manufacture runs.... Hasn't even attempted that since he said it

September 2, 20242 yr If the braves are fully healthy next year they probably easily win the division
