100% on this. Oct 1 for Halloween, Nov 1 for Thanksgiving, Dec 1 for Christmas

We used to wait till after December 13th to put up Christmas stuff. The older Miss J's birthday is that day and right after she was born I told Mr. J that I did not want her birthday and Christmas to be lumped together. She has since decided that she likes putting stuff up early and Dec 1st is generally the time frame.

 For anyone interested in NFL pickem pay league please see the following link. We have done it for 3-years but skipped last year due to COVID. The annual free league is also back and please check out the sports side and the thread for that if interested:

He's retired now, gl! Has nothing better to do than watch his phone for the best matchups.

Hell, he even invited me over for dinner tonight. To eat at 3 pm. Old people. :(

I was just goofing around looking at Accuweather's monthly forecast for my area, and after a high of 90 and 92 this Sunday and Monday, there is exactly one more day of 90+ forecasted through the end of August.  So three days of 90+ days for all of June, July, and August.  Two coming up, one in July, and none in August. :wacko:

I'll take the over.

A quick count makes today the 44th 90+ day for me, so their algorithm was very close. 

And more good news is that the monthly forecast for September has my hood making it to 81 on the first, and not a single 80 or above day after that.  Book it!

Ryan reeves put out a response to the Tom Wilson and rangers Incident this past season and how he would have responded to it…..long story short reeves it’s such a mediocre player compared to Tom Wilson it’s not even funny. I can’t stand the fact he thinks his play on the ice is even decent….

They really have gone into the toilet more and more. It sucks because the ballpark is still one of nicest in all baseball.

Yes....on to the next losing streak!

 

I heard some stats on how inept their pitching is.  It's because the don't pay for pitchers.  THe average MLD team spends 25-30 million on pitching, which is 1/4 of their salary base. 

 

The orioles spend just under 8 million....which is 1/8 of their salary base.  You need pitching, especially at Camden Yards.  The sad thing is that none of the good pitchers want to pitch there because it is a hitter's park.

They shouldn't be paying for pitchers in a rebuild... Next year should start to see an huge improvement or they are in real trouble.
