Itstrainingtime

My strategy was to try and advance to fall as quickly as possible. LOL Talk about sticky, dew is still a sultry 70 here. I knew it would be hot today but was hoping my dew would be more in the lower 60s by this point.

Penalty refused, 2nd down.

Yes, a good part of southern Lanco had rains in the afternoon and a 2nd round in the evening.

Plenty of time for any Steelers opponent to go the length of the field, trust me.

Had about 45 minutes of thunder here earlier from the York County action, but nothing ventured across the river here.

This post did not age well at all...O's with sweep #3 of the season, and their first at home. (against the hated Nats to boot)

Hardly any rain around at all...and yet southern Lanco got hit hard this afternoon. Some areas below Quarryville got a couple of inches. (This is second hand information)

Beat 'ya today. Got up to a steamy 94, still 93 here approaching 6pm.

How's our storm chances look today? I see that the LSV is Marginal.

Again, much like the Orioles, all it takes is a horrific owner to decimate a franchise at almost every level. When I was growing up, Washington was a team that NFL fans had a lot of respect for. Sad to see what Snyder did to that fanbase.

That almost looks like a map from springtime...96 in Richmond and 61 at Harrisburg? That's one crazy gradient for this time of year.

Me too. Well deserved. 2015 feels so long ago.

That is the great thing about baseball though...any given series a bad team can get hot and string a few wins together, even against a far superior team. The O's have swept a total of 2 series this year. Both on the road. One was at Boston, the other at Houston. Go figure.

We proudly greet tourists to the Historic District with a WGAL sign. High today was 83. Brats are going on the grill. Great summer evening ahead.

79 at noon. Going to be a great evening for some grilling. Bratwursts are ready to go...

Preach it! We've been waiting for Donegal to be forced to change their name...

Sunny and 74 here. Should add a few/several degrees on to yesterday's high of 79.

Baseball is back at Rogers Centre! Speaking of Centre, why was the former home of the Caps and Bullets spelled Centre, and not Center?

Thanks for sharing, troubling story to read. I hope she can recover. Hershey connection to Tampa, Dave Mishkin was the radio voice of the Bears in the mid 1990s through their Cup championship in '97. He left Hershey to become the radio voice of the Lightning, where he remains today. Also of note from yesterday - I just read last evening that the Blue Jays are heading back to Canada! They begin playing up north on their next homestand...final game in Buffalo was Wednesday night.

Skipjacks and Bears had some legendary games in the 1980s. Those were the glory years of the AHL. I can't talk about your first sentence...to this day, still too painful. I refuse to root for the Ravens.

High for the day was 79...not sure the last time we failed to reach 80 on a day that was pretty much wall to wall sun.

I totally understand and agree with your sentiment. Once the novelty of Camden Yards subsided, all of the people you spoke about disappeared for the most part and the true fans remained. And 10 years ago or so, long after OPCY had become another ballpark, the team averaged 2 million plus per year. Baltimore has great, great fans, but how long can we be patient with Mr. Angelos leading us into an oblivion of ineptness?

Nothing greater than winning the World Series than in Veterans Stadium. Too bad that was 38 years ago. This is a true fact, and a testament to my suffering. People make fun of our lack of attendance - what city would support a team as bad as we are? Here's a fact - the Orioles are the fastest team to 50 million fans in any city after they opened a new ballpark. O's reached 50 million in just over 16 seasons. Prior to that though, there were years of 2 million plus numbers at the old stadium. Give us a competitive team, we'll be there.

@Bubbler8679/59 here matches that map you posted perfectly. Temp is running a few degrees under the projected high - again, have to think some of that is smoke/haze induced.

All so very true. Pretty soon we'll be anxiously awaiting the initialization of the State Farm GFS run.
