Itstrainingtime

This...is my post of the year. Thank you for this

I've been posting a ton in the MLB thread on this forum. I actually had the Dbacks over the Phillies. (only one that picked Arizona that I know of) I agree with your assessment 100%. I think it's going to be great baseball. I just have this baseball sense that it's Arizona's year. We'll soon find out!

Phillies fans: My team won over 100 games this year and did not win a single postseason game. I was watching baseball the next day. Actually...I watched baseball later that night.

Tell Arizona that. Unfortunately, I think just about everyone in red felt the same way.

MLB specific, the home team has a losing percentage in game 7, and the losing percentage is even greater if the road team won game 6. Likely means nothing for tonight, that's just the history of game 7s.

Random stat: In this, the 141st year of Phillies baseball, tonight is the first game 7 that they have ever played.

High looks like it'll top out at 71 here - 71.3 to be exact. It's currently down to 69.

Half of Buffalo's game day attendance each week parks in a private residence's front yard. It's crazy.

Yes sir, I have studied that entire area for years planning this trip. Everything you said is true, the other interesting thing is that the stadium itself sits so far below street level that it looks like a high school field from the outside. The only visible parts of the stadium from Abbott Road are the upper decks along each sideline. The whole setup is so unique/bizarre for a professional sports franchise and that's exactly the appeal to me.

People stop me all the time and ask me about flavors - half the time, I don't even know the answer. I am onsite more than just about any other admin/office staff and try and get on the floor as much as possible. I even work very non-traditional HR hours. (I worked nights last week) Still, I have a hard time keeping up with everything.

I took a "tour" on googlemaps and have already watched a few videos. (all part of my work day, of course) Even got a nice look at that parking area and the road leading back to the lot and beach. Might have to take a detour next September. My wife and I are committed to going to a Bills home game next year before they close down the current stadium. We want to experience the Bills Mafia. I'm still trying to convince her to do a swan dive into a folding table.

70 here. Doubled my overnight low.

I had to look that one up - it's got a perfect 5 rating on Google. It does look very nice.

Temp has skyrocketed to 68.2 in Maytown at 1:20pm. Already a 33 degree rise since early AM.

In fact, the big dude at MU said this a few hours ago: MU Weather Center @MUweather The warming trend that’s starting today will continue through the rest of the week. High temps from Thursday-Saturday will be 15-20 degrees above normal, and the #October26 record high of 78F from 1984 at @millersvilleu could be in jeopardy. I’ll take it!

Don't think we'll break records but not sure I'd say it won't be close - temps here could easily reach 80 a couple of times at the end of the week.

Sorry, this winter will feature a parade of coastals that deliver 1'+ here while you're smoking cirrus.

61 here now as well. When you posted about THV's 20 degree rise earlier, I was wayyy behind. My biggest temp spike today has happened over the past 90 minutes. Forecast high is 68, at 11am I was still in the 40s and 68 seemed way off. It's in range now.

48 degrees at 10:45am - 59 degrees at 11:50am.

There were 3 teams that won over 100 games. Collectively, they won 1 postseason game. Dodgers: 0-3, my Orioles: 0-3, Atlanta: 1-3. Do you mean "philly year" as in the Phillies, or Philly sports teams?

Sorry, I missed this post. 100% accurate here, you articulated it better than I just did above.

No. In the vast majority of storms I'm pinging first UNLESS the flow is SW. If it's S or SE, it'll be the Lanco crew every time.

My overnight low was 35, and that came at 1:36am. Sunny and 49 now.

I've had it since before the series started. I can't explain it to anyone unless you just understand. I have this weird baseball "sense" that is usually more right than wrong. I thought going in, the Dbacks were going to win the series. Admittedly, I hedged a bit after game 2 but that sense came roaring back.

What...now you're a Rangers fan???
