GFS is coming out one panel every 15 min today.   Hackers?   But so far it and the EC say no extended heat wave coming.  Some marginally hot days early next week.

That storm to your east in Adams county looks...interesting...

I just turned my fan on reverse in hopes I can snag it.

Sun is still peaking out here in Maytown - nary a drop of water thus far. 

It's coming. Patience...

The HRRR is not liking the 'Ville right now either.

So rain in Harrisburg and zilch in Palmyra. 

Sounds like Canderson is stealing your goods.

CMC back with the hot cakes next week.  Stacks real high. 

What a wide variety of qpf maps on the 12Z runs.  Pop up storm forecasting nightmares.

Looks like CTP doubled down on the heat and now carries a point forecast of 93, 94, 93, 93 at MDT from Sun-Wed (but with rain chances Tues/Wed). So there must be support for it somewhere.

That somewhere is Tuesday.  But they could be forecasting re: the way some models undercut the temps too much

Let’s hope so. It would be nice to even just stay in the 80’s for awhile.

Might get around 90 2-3 days even with the current model depictions....but the scary heat wave is not depicted anywhere anymore.

Just in the morning tomorrow, correct? 

Not at all a forecast but every model I looked at forms a line of rain and storms tomorrow afternoon that goes through the LSV.

i'm hoping we get "some" rain today to help us. 

Me too.  It all looks like the pop up variety on the models so worrisome.  More rain tomorrow as well (hope).

This is just brutal ...

Sunday

Sunny, with a high near 91.

Sunday Night

Mostly clear, with a low around 68.

Monday

Sunny and hot, with a high near 93.

Monday Night

Partly cloudy, with a low around 69.

Tuesday

Mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 93.

Tuesday Night

Partly cloudy, with a low around 69.

Wednesday

Sunny and hot, with a high near 92.

 

Fortunately, IMO,  there is very little support for this hot of a forecast anymore.

I think i mentioned this before, my Uncle Olin coached Jim Rice when he was a teenager in South Carolina. He even mentioned him in HOF speech. 

I believe you did, that is a great story.  Makes people jealous of your uncle :-).

Yes, but last season needs to have have a large asterisk because of the short fake season with no fans.

Maybe, I was just looking at the last twenty years of World Series.   Florida Marlins are another one of these teams. 

We bulldogged through 5 pages in the last 24 hours.

At the end of the day, the Royals have as many titles as the Yankees in the past 20 years. That’s incredible.

And TB has two World Series appearances during that time.

Moneyball is not fun for the fans when teams like the A’s and Ray’s trade away players when they get into their last 2 years of arbitration and their salary starts to increase too much for their small budget. 
 

Like NCAA.  Just when you get to know someone, they are gone.

Back in the days with 100 years of No World Series victory?

Before my time.  I am a Dewey Evans and Jim Rice disciple.   Then Nomar and Kevin Millar.

dude. Xander, Devers, Verdugo are all amazing yo watch and very very cost-controlled (changes for Xander soon but still).   

I am a classic, old fashioned guy.   I was referring to the ilk of Carl Crawford and Pablo Sandoval. Since TB was brought up I thought of Crawford right away. 

The Nam has all our backs in the next 2-3 days...east or west.  18Z Namming. 

Dale Murphy, Jim Rice, The Bull Greg Luzinski, Jack Clark, Dave Kingman, Eddie Murray,  Michael Jack Schmidt...

Do they still star in today's game?

Major league results with minor league vibe (attendance, star power, etc.) but they get it done. Have to nod your cap to 'em. 

It's the thing I dislike about the Red Sox.  Too much spending on players who are not always committed.  More fun back in the days of Jim Rice.

The team I admire most in MLB? The Rays. Again this year they were largely discounted as they are every year...and look where they are...

Now real quick, someone fire off the starting 9. 

Yeah...I didn't think so.  

TB is red hot in general.  They cannot do attendance well there but man do they work wonders on small budgets in different sports.

Terrible slump this year, I like him but he isn't the same as when he was with the Pirates.

and Rueben's idea was to win and win right away, it wasn't bad it worked in 2008 and they spent a ton of money in Free Agency and Trades to get the critical pieces back then. Now, they are spending dollars like Harper but don't have a complete team around him. Pitching is terrible outside of Nola and even he is up and down. Bullpen is horrible. I want them to go to the Moneyball approach like the A's did. 

Moneyball is more fun for the fans, IMO.   Plucky winners are easy to root on.
