Itstrainingtime

Meh, let's not overreact...John Means is a very, very good pitcher who is unknown due to the team he pitches for. The guy can flat out deal. I mean, he's already thrown a no-no this year and has been close a couple of other times. He's a legit 15+ game winner (easily) on a good team and when healthy. If there was a game in the series we had a chance to steal, last night was far and away the best opportunity. I suspect that the results will be drastically different the rest of the series.

59 here. Fair amount of cloudiness with very little in the way of a breeze.

The woeful O's shut out the Phillies on their turf!

Tomlin on the "hot seat?" Nah...

Oh no... Got to 81 here today.

10.88" of rain for the month, 10.68" of which has fallen on the previous 3 Wednesdays. Why not more?

Thanks, appreciate the info. I was hoping for 3:30...oh well, it's going to be awesome nonetheless.

53 this morning in the historic district when I left for work.

63 here now.

82 here. Very warm in the sun.

Yep.

And the offense is atrocious.

Yeah, I know. I grew up surrounded by passionate Phillies fans...parents, extended family, and friends. They were everywhere. Spent the first several years of my life going to the Vet (this was in the early/mid 1970s) and my path was set. Until... My dad worked for an outdoor advertising company that does billboards. His company had season tickets to the Orioles, seats were literally front row behind home plate. He took me to my first O's game in 1976 and that was it. I was hooked. I never looked back, been a die hard fan for 45 years now. At that point it became "fun" to go against everyone I knew and started rooting against the Phillies. Nothing was sweeter than beating the Phils at the Vet to win the 1983 World Series. Unfortunately, that was a long time ago and the great moments have been few and far between ever since. A lot of baseball fans today do not realize how great the Orioles organization was back in the 60s and 70s. "The Oriole Way" was something that most organizations tried to emulate (unsuccessfully) for many years until the Hoffberger family sold out to Edward Bennett Williams and then eventually, the despised Angelos family. That family has ruined a once proud organization. It's sad.

Sunny and 79. Thought I might stay in the 70s today...likely not.

What a spectacular day! Sunny and 72 at 11:30. Can't wait to hit the trail later this afternoon.

It would feel really, really good to ruin the Phillies season...

All I know is that PSU is 3-0. Right now, that's all that matters to me. I'm exhausted...

Probably a ton of very sunburned people in State College right now...

87 here as well. My dewpoint is heading down though...63 now after reaching 69 this morning.

Holy crap does it ever feel like mid summer here...81/68 and sunny.

80 with a few lonely glimpses of the sun.

78 and cloudy...some brightening over the past hour or so.

Overcast and 75. TGIF.

82 here - watching the cells with interest down in MD/DE that are rotating NW towards the I95 corridor.

Can that 2nd low in Mexico bomb out in the Gulf and ride up the coast?
