Every time I look at the Giants line-up and see their BAs I think that but that team looks similar to the 2010 team that won it. Plus, think they are 1st or 2nd in the league in home runs and that bullpen is beyond solid.

I'll need to do wellness checks on my old man if it happens thanks to this guy.

Used the JG two falls ago and last spring. Very impressed with how quickly and full it comes in. Definitely notice a difference in the shady area of my lawn with it versus the areas that get more sun. Shady areas stay thick and green all year. More sunny areas get a bit thin towards the end of the year.

I try to avoid ever turning it on unless we are not home, didn't even go through 3/4 of a tank of oil last year. My buddy lives on an island in Maine and essentially every house has a fire going any time its under 65* at night to "drive out the damp" as they call it. Thought it was nuts but works real well, better than turning on the heat.

Yup, just a small one. Everything in the house is damp. Run a small load of wood through, dries the entire house out in a half hour. Can't exactly turn on the central air to do it when the house is in the mid-60s.

Time to "drive out the damp." Low 50s this morning, showers, house is only 64.

I've never fished the CT River north of Hinsdale, NH. That said my go to for smallies in the Barton's Cove to Hinsdale area has always been a smaller 3" paddle tail on a 1/8-1/4oz head in 8-10' breaks on the edge of grass beds. Similar to this set up but usually in a perch pattern. If you find one slow down because there will be more. River smallies don't roam alone. Other go to baits, if there is limited grass/wood then a ned rig with small TRD. Lots of cover, can't go wrong with a good old jig/paca or chatterbait.

Got down to 46*, house is a crisp 66*. Loving it.

Oklahoma et al. can keep all their great instability, shear, lift, etc. The Cape will always have "The James Effect." Watching the stuff come into Falmouth and Dennis area early this morning I thought about how great his posts would have been during this event.

Multiple wunderground stations in southern CT along the CT River (e.g., Essex, Haddam) showing 4-6+ since midnight.

1.7" since midnight. About 4.3" thus far. Only 54*, feel like starting up the stove.

Looking at some charts rivers in NJ and NY are not going to just break record levels, they are going to break them by multiple feet.

Looks to go over Falmouth area.

TOR warning for Buzzards Bay area. WOW

Should have prefaced, lower for CT and western Mass. Maybe I was the one hitting the sauce. Wife said I have been a zombie since my Entyvio infusion yesterday so I'll blame that. 12z

NAM backed down a bit with totals. Strange because it hits the sauce all day and 18z usually spits out the crazy amounts of QPF out of all the runs.

Most impressive rotation I've seen on velocity scan around these parts. Multiple waterspouts?

Fall coming in with some sweet chin music as dew lovers watch in horror.

Super frustrating and makes you think wtf they are doing when not playing baseball. Growing up my dad @MBRI always mentioned that year I didn't understand the heart break of Sox fans until 2003 when Aaaron Boone became the "Bucky ____ Dent" of my generation. Bottom of the order guys, same sort of weird swing (although Bucky choked up on the bat like a little leaguer), looks like a high pop-up to the outfield off the bat, doesn't sound like a HR off the bat, and ends up breaking your heart. I have to say this is one of the first Rays teams I don't hate. Have to the respect the " F__ it" approach and swing for the fences every at bat, kind of refreshing and makes for exciting games.

You're calling it lately!

Well, BB must see something special...

I was surprised it did so well with Henri. I remember Isaias it had like widespread 70-80 gusts across SNE and has overdone them in winter systems.

Just went down a rabbit hole on the 1955 CT floods. It's wild to think Connie and Diane hit CT a week apart with 4-6" from Connie and then 10"+ in Diane. Things have to align for historic events.

Almost half an inch of rain. Not even severe enough to wash out the overseed on my grass.

That K on the slider was nice, surprised he only threw one. Could be a nice go-to pitch if he actually has control of it and has 2 strikes on the hitter.
