WmsptWx Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 This is what my my smart ass, Yankee fan grandson texted me yesterday...lmao1) F the Yankees 2) I know having the farm in Wilkes-Barre helps but it disturbs me how many Yankees fans there are in Pennsylvania. I can understand the number of Cubs and Braves fans that various superstations brought, but holy Christ, Yankees fans are the absolute worst. 3) The absolute worst4) Grandson?

ChescoWx Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 We ended July here in East Nantmeal with our warmest July since 2020....but only 1 degree above normal. Rainfall wise we were about 0.5" below normal but we are still running 2.5" above normal for the year to date. A hot and humid start to August with rain chances increasing as we get to the weekend. Chester County wide records for today: High 104 degrees at Phoenixville (1933) / Low 47 degrees at Coatesville way back in 1895 / Rain 3.26" at West Chester in 2004.

He is a very good poster and certainly does not give off that vibe that some others do. Like I said, every fan base has good and bad. Some are worse than others. I'm sure CBP was interesting earlier this week with a hot mix of Phillies and Yankees fans. Hard to imagine that there weren't a few scuffles... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WmsptWx Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 We ended July here in East Nantmeal with our warmest July since 2020....Well now it's back underneath Traveling to India in the summer...but only 1 degree above normal. Oh. Well I can deal with that. Back up the list it goes. I've been to Bradford on a hot day, anyway. That's not too much different from India...Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WmsptWx Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Evil baseball franchise talk not going awayLet's not act like the Sawx wouldn't be the Evil Empire if the Evil Empire didn't already exist. If the Yankees are Mother Russia, the Red Sox, Dodgers, and Mets are Belarus, Turkmenistan, and Moldova.

This is probably not fair and is admittedly a small sample size plus very subjective. My personal experience, Red Sox fans IN GENERAL are more obnoxious than Yankees fans in Baltimore. Both are loud and annoying, but there's a...sarcastically cocky edge that Boston fans seem to have that NY fans don't. Maybe the best way to put it is like this - Yankees do well in Baltimore and their fans go nuts. Red Sox do well in Baltimore and their fans go nuts in the faces of Orioles fans. It's just different. Yankees fans celebrate their team, Red Sox fans seem to delight in being jerks to O's fans. It's subtle...but it's there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WmsptWx Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 What does "Cowboy Up" even mean? Oh so you need to bareback a horse for a hundred miles before lighting a small fire and sleeping on your back using a rock as a pillow? How's that going to help your trouble with the curve?

Same as Pat's fans. 2003 changed everything. I've regularly attended games in Baltimore since 1976. I had a season ticket plan from 1984 through 1998. Prior to 2003 there were far, far more Yankees fans who showed up at O's game than Red Sox fans. It wasn't close. As soon as Boston won the WS, the following year Camden Yards was taken over by Red Sox fans. And you could just tell that so many of them weren't even real baseball fans, they hopped on the wagon. It was a completely different kind of fan. Yankees fans still came and they didn't change. I haven't attended a Red Sox game in Baltimore since 2016. I probably would act very un-me like if I did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MU Weather Center @MUweather A subtle disturbance sagging southeastward through PA & the Delmarva Region may spark a few showers & T-storms this afternoon into tonight, but many areas won't receive any rain. Brief downpours & wind gusts up to 40 mph may occur, but tomorrow & Sat are the bigger "storm days." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol no admonition there but it's funny that 2003 was the Aaron Fn Boone year and then in 2004 the Sox turned the tide and came back from down 3-1 down. Maybe if the Yankees are able to slam the door shut, this conversation is more about the threat of severe weather tomorrow and not now everyone hush hush hates the Red Sox but is afraid to say it because it may make the Yankees a tiny little bit less punchable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
