    Yeah but this situation is unique, though...new GM but the manager just got there the previous year. I'm wondering if ownership would be on board with that... Because if you're trying to win with some of the players here...do you wanna put them through yet another managerial transition just a year later? Not to mention that would be kinda unfair to Alby too--You gonna do all that introduction this year and not even give him the courtesy of a second year after his rookie season? Ehh that would be kinda crappy from an organizational standpoint, imo I know some fans want it, but I don't know, man...

    I've been debbing but this part isn't lost me--I have always viewed super niños as 50/50 for that reason. I did notice that 97-98 was the only one in the bunch that had zero chance as I didn't see even 3 consecutive days that were cold enough for snow the entire winter. At least 72-73 did have a couple cold periods but we just missed a storm, I think. Silly side note: My pattern superstition thinks because all superstition dating back to 66 have gone good-bad-good-bad-good...ack, lol

    If they bring Elias back, that is definitely ownership incompetence. Now as far as before that...I mean they have spent a lot more than Angelos, and have certainly boosted clubhouse morale with their willingness to commit to players (another facet sorely missing before). Aa far as how the team has been run, though? Elias. Because if you notice, the problem has become less money and more about the system itself, and Elias' roster decisions They let him be the "architect" as Cal Jr. put it--so what we see now is his. That being said...if they head into this off-season after another losing season and decide to keep Elias? That would be clueless to say the least. I hope Rubenstein was just trying to do the PR thing when he said "I'm pleased"--at that particular moment Elias was sitting right there, lol But I don't know man...I hope that's all it was!

    Not sure Alby is gonna be fired that quickly. Kinda rare for a rookie manager to get fired after 1 season but ya never know, I guess. Feels like it would take a bad start next year for that to happen a la Cal Sr.

    And there ya go...not sure how much that happened in 97-98, but gotta imagine it was a factor?
  6. Maestrobjwa
    Yeah but not this strong though--it's historic. And potentially east-based. That's the part of it that worries me because to me historically strong=97-98 scenario. If it were anything else like moderate to strong, or modoki (I know that one is rare) I'd certainly like our chances much better. I would relish being be HAPPILY wrong though and will wear all of it while I'm measuring in feet

    Not mention they break your heart with the big storms that miss. You see what happened late February? It's gonna happen 99% of the time with a coastal in a nina. BUT thankfully we got a frickin' glacier and arctic cold to enjoy for over a month--that was pretty fun!
  8. Maestrobjwa
    The problem I have is this Nino is looking historically strong, which is by nature an extreme event like 97-98 (or stronger as some in the forum are predicting). I mean looking at the daily high temps for DJF...that year torched through and through with not one period of being cold enough to snow. At least the other dud super nino of 72-73 had a cold chance but we just got unlucky (glad I wasn't around for that southern blizzard). But with an historically strong event? Maaan I question if we even GET cold enough for snow. In no universe would I root for a nina...they break your heart everytime, lol (though last year was about as good as a nina can get...late February hurt though!) And we're gonna get two more of those ninas after next winter anyway which is why a potential fail this winter is more frustrating.

    "All you need is 1" is a big problem. Weather is way too random...it didn't happen in 97-98 so why would it happen now? I mean did any of those storms that year even come close to being snow?
  10. Maestrobjwa
    Yeah I need the Ravens to ball out this year and go for that ring. Mediocre O's, mediocre snow upcoming...give me something to cheer for please, lol
  11. Maestrobjwa
    From what they're saying in the other thread though...is it even gonna be possible to get cold enough in JFM? 97-98 comparison to where the STJ was mentioned as an example of what can happen in an extreme event...I mean to my layman ears it's not sounding great.

    True soaker here. A good bit of thunder and lightning--second such severe soaker in a week. Much needed I'm sure!

    I read this and immediately heard the classic chaotic *reowwwwwww!* Haha

    Mega warnings?
  15. Maestrobjwa
    And ya think that's primed to happen this time, too? (And was it the same in 72-73?)
