Did you forget how much the past 3 years sucked? I don't live and die by the weather like you do, so I will continue with my crap. F the snow, bring on spring.

hosj III Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Is there usually a fair amount of svr wx here? Last year the season was awful in SNE but it is SNE. As long as I get the massive torch I will be happy. Decent. We do linear well but suck at discrete. Definitely better than SNE, but still nothing compared to west of the apps. Most areas get maybe 2-3 actual severe storms per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 A well-timed 2" would do the damage for a delay in the morning. I'm not ready for the five day weekend to end anyway, so I've gone ahead and fired up the grill. And opened a brew. New Belgium's Accumulation seems fitting.

MillvilleWx Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Interesting local sports move today. Looks like O's agree to deal with Ubaldo Jimenez.

snowfan Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Knew Eric when I was up there. One of the nicest profs I had. Certainly has a resume that would be of interest to folks around here.

I noticed they are building another new apartment tower. The Ferris wheel is a pretty neat I think. I'm sure they had to jump through hoops with FAA though.

MillvilleWx Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Wow. A miracle. They finally signed someone. Wasn't he the guy who got off to a tremendous start a couple years ago. Yeah, he did it with the Rockies back in the 2010 campaign I believe. His numbers overall last year were not bad overall. His Post ASB numbers were astounding (1.80 ERA and 1.12 Whip). He's always been dependent upon his fastball control and has a wicked curveball and changeup. The key to Ubaldo will be his ability to locate the zone. His FB is high 90's when he's healthy and with movement. The O's had to do something, so I think this was a good risk to take. What's the worst that could happen? He stinks? Sometimes you have to gamble on people. If it pays off, you look pretty smart in doing so. On another note, I can't wait for baseball to start up. Smell of fresh cut grass and fantasy baseball on the way. Probably my 2nd favorite passion outside of weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His mechanics can be problematic, but his stuff is nasty. This gives the starting rotation some depth and allows Norris to move into the bullpen if necessary. Next move is to find a DH. I hear their in on Morales. Looking forward to baseball helps with the depression of winter ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a hitter capable of hitting around .300 and will provide some pop. He hit over 20 last year playing in Seattle and AL West confines. He could be a great bonus to have and even play 1B too to give Davis a breather if needed. Baseball needs to hurry up, although Mother nature keeps throwing her own curveballs at us it looks like into March. We shall see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No joke, I just read an Espn insider column that said Duqette wants to sign Morales but Angeass won't sign off on the deal. I just wish he would either sell the team or die. Until he is out of the picture we will never be the Orioles of old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will live to be 105 and the best will do is sniff the wildcard again for 20 more years. Your grand kids will graduate high school before we win the world series again.

It has been 30 years of hell since the joy of me running around screaming when we won the 83 World Series. If we don't win another ring before I die it will be painful.
