My sister moved up there over twenty years ago and back in the 90's I lived with her some and went to a lot of games. My dad is from NY and is a huge mets fan. My mother in law is a huge braves fan. So baseball season is always fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelJ Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Not sure how you guys get excited for a sport where they play like 750 games a year. But, to each his own (and go Red Sox) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaculaWeather Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Been here a long time and haven't watched the Braves since they have Glavine, Maddox, and Smoltz. now the Falcons I watch! I started getting tired of baseball once my son got older and he quit playing too. I was President of our athletic association (twice) and spent most of my life (at the time) at the ball park. After about 6-8 years of that, you'll either be cured of baseball or a lifetime addict, not sure which! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossthread Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 so do most folks here think We'll get a *late* March type *SNOWSTORM*, After a good warm-up for casted, I've seen way to many time times in My 47 years, of a mid-march, Early April snow storm... Even here in Wilmington, AND especially Fay-nam.... What do the Mets think on this/? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrips27 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 I'm looking forward to the upcoming Braves season. I think we have a decent shot to make the playoffs. But first on my list is March Madness! I always do the bracket contests then after that I focus on baseball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolinaCrusher2000 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I say we have a better chance this year than most because of the level of cold air available this year and the pattern breaking down in early to mid February. If this break would have come around the last couple of days of February I would say there would be a much lower chance of cold and snow chances. If we don't get any more chances I'm not going to whine about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavarreDon Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Looks like the Cascades are trying to give the Sierras a run for thier money! Edit: well I see they have really lowered the snow totals but, I could live with this. Ya so I'm really really bored with our weather & I notice a winter storm watch for the WA Cascades. I start snooping around & come to Rainier. I bet I could cure my snow jonesing real quick up there!

We did a bowl mania group back in December and January and got about 15 entries. I think we could get 50+ brackets if we push hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why it's pronounced dah-CU-la, to avoid confusion. It always bothered me that you couldn't just call the place DAH-cu-la, rolls off the tongue much more naturally.
