#fakeTV FRiDAY 

It's Labor Day Weekend, and that means it's our last chance to do some fun before the Summer Season ends for good. Honestly, I don't know what I'll be doing Monday, I could really use a another day off from #KlicKNet right about now, on the other hand, I'll have a week from now to get ready for the upcoming NFL Season which starts next Thursday. As for the MLB, its 2018 Season ends September 30th, which means that there are 31 Days left before the postseason and teams in playoff contention do not have much time to move ahead of one another in the standings. This new Max Sports rundown takes a look at the MLB Standings before tonight's games are played, starting with the red hot American League, its All-Star team back in July was able to secured the AL home-field advantage in the 2018 World Series in October. The Red Sox and Yankees have the best two records this season despite the Yankees' failed attempt to gain any more ground in order to move closer with the Red Sox who have a record 93-42 while the Bronx Bombers are 84-50. The Astros have the third best record this season with 82-52, they are defending World Series Champions and nothing would please them more than to win another championship, the Indians with a record of 76-57, lost in the 2016 World Series to the Cubs, who have a better record than them which would be 79-54. The Braves and the Phillies have made surprise runs this season and are now duking it out for first place in the National League East, Braves are 74-59 and are three games ahead of the Phillies who are 71-62. The National League West is in a three-way battle between the Diamondbacks, the Rockies, and the Dodgers, the first place team has a record of 74-60 and are leading their division by 1.5 games over the Rocks who are currently 72-61, and the Dodgers trail by just two games as they are 72-62 going into their weekend series against the Diamondbacks. Wild Card action is full affect, with the Yankees most likely to host the AL Wild Card Game against the 80-55 A's, and the Cardinals, with a record of 75-59, lead the NL Wild Card standings by just a half game, and the 75-60 Brewers are desperately trying to hold to second spot as the Rockies, Dodgers and Phillies right behind them. So how will the standings change over the next 31 Days, it all starts tonight, but first take a look at the last two days in baseball.

NickSplat has been its way to the streaming service business, the late-night programming block on TeenNick which showcases classic Nickelodeon shows will be available on VRV. Nickelodeon has recently partnered with the streaming platform to launch an OTT channel featuring the network's most popular animated series and live-action shows from the 1990s. NickSplat will feature a rotating selection of nearly 30 series including All That, Are You Afraid of the Dark, CatDog, Clarissa Explains It All, Doug, Double Dare 2000, Guts, Kenan & Kel, Legends of the Hidden Temple and The Wild Thornberrys, with more coming later. This channel will be available to purchase a la carte for $5.99 per month and will also be included in the VRV premium bundle for $9.99 per month. So 90s Fans can see their favorite Nick shows wherever and whenever they want on their mobile devices, and they don't have to wait so late at night on TeenNick to watch NickSplat on television, the reaction to this news is very positive and today's #TwitterTrend is living proof of that very statement.

Good on ya, @WatchVRV @Viacom @Nickelodeon @nicksplat

VRV having NickSplat means so much to me. I grew up fairly poor, and my parents couldn't afford cable. I only got to binge these shows when I visited cousin's houses. Now as an adult I felt like I missed out on a lot, but I finally get to binge some of the classics. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’–

VRV just added Nicksplat to their streaming service list.  Guess who is going to spend the rest of his day watching old Nickelodeon shows?  THIS GUY!

Finally for today, another #fakeTV update again, the final episode of The InZane Club is coming along great and I will let everyone know when it will be finished as the third and final season kickoffs September 21st. Meanwhile yesterday was a very special day for Amusement Park goers, for Six Flags announced its line-up of new roller coasters, thrill rides, other attractions and even new theme parks for the 2019 season next year. You can say that Six Flags has really outdone itself with this impressive collection if new attractions as the main focus to every theme park in North America is to go bigger and better every year. So I have piece together a Top Ten list of most the new stuff coming to many Six Flags parks and looking and thinking about these rides is a real doozy.
#10: Six Flags Over Texas and La Ronde are both opening their own 7-Story Looping ride.

#09: Six Flags St. Louis is opening up Supergirl, a brand new Giant Spinning Thrill ride.

#08: Six Flags New England Introduces a new dark ride experience themed after Cyborg.

#07: Frontier City will become a Six Flags park next year and open a Timber Town area.

#06: Six Flags Discover Kingdom is set open a 4D Free Fly coaster themed after Batman.

#05: Six Flags America will turned Apocalypse into a new floorless coaster called Firebird.

#04: Six Flags Great Adventure introduces a Wonder Woman-themed pendulum attraction. 

#03: Darien Lake will become a Six Flags park next year and open a new Skyscreamer.

#02: Six Flags Great America will open a triple record-breaking launch coaster called Maxxforce.

#01: Six Flags Magic Mountain will open the World’s First Racing Launch Coaster called West Coast Racers.
