CAPE

Adley is especially hard to watch at the plate. Been awful for awhile. Hitting .176 since the end of June.

I mean, I was cheering for the guy to do well today. What a fail. A typical ugly Steelers win. All they have are backup QBs, and will manage to win 10 easily.

Yeah the Giants aren't very good, but a nice win regardless. Wish my team wasn't 0-1 lol. And how bout Cousins being Cousins. Miss him? He always manages to get the big payday despite being an ugly duckling QB who mostly fails when it matters, while always compiling 'good' numbers. Penix trending on X lol.

Windy with plenty of leaves flying out of the stressed trees. Very brief shower.

The refs needed to set the tone for the new area of emphasis lol. Fine. Apply it evenly. I mean, what other team could have almost beaten the Chiefs in that setting without playing their best? The Bills maybe. Ravens will be ok. Three new O-linemen, a new 32 yo D Coordinator- there was a major breakdown in coverage that led to a 'free' TD, among other issues. A Ravens D doesn't give up 27 often. They should get better as the season goes on. They won't finish 13-4 and be frontrunners blowing teams out like last season. Probably a good thing. They might need to be a team that has to scratch and claw for a win to get in and not coast down the stretch. That failed in 2019 and again last year. Might make them sharper and better prepared heading into the playoffs.

There were plenty of the usual non-calls against the Chiefs. Yes, they truly are the new Patriots. They will win 3 more easily.

Based on what Lamar said afterwards, and looking at the replay, it appears he had his eyes on Bateman and was expecting him to be in that spot- you can see him on the left side of the screen running his route and seems to pull up. Either way it was a missed opportunity.

As usual.

Pretty much. Just too sloppy to beat that team at their place. The missed throw to Flowers open in the endzone a play or 2 earlier was big. He was open and Lamar sailed it instead of throwing a dart. Gotta make that throw in that moment.

Likely's feet are too big. Nice to see the refs continue to contribute to the success of the Chiefs. I guess Illegal formation is a new 'point of emphasis'. As usual plenty of non/missed calls against the Chiefs. As expected the Ravens OL a little shaky, and the Defense was a bit too porous against the pass. Nate Wiggins please. Lamar played well, but he won't last the season if he has to do that every game.

NFL is back! What a way to start. Wish the Ravens weren't on the road against KC right off the bat. OL may take awhile to gel. Lamar is due to have a big game against the Chiefs- only 1-4 and the numbers are pretty mediocre. Best case is the OL can get some push and Henry breaks some big runs to open things up. eta- more than 6 rush attempts please.

That's what I have been doing. I do a section at a time. I just put more seed down yesterday, and with no significant rain in sight, the watering will have to continue.

Maybe a few passing sprinkles? Very dry here after below avg rain in August. Sprinkler working overtime.

The so called law of averages. Suarez was way due for a crap outing, and the Whitesox have to win once in awhile. Still time for the historically bad sox to do sox like things. Orioles really needed to take care of business tonight though. Coming down to the wire and they are going to have to beat actual real teams.

Probably should leave now. Maybe Hyde can bring Kimbrel in to hold em till the bats come alive lol.

Probably should get used to this sort of thing for the upcoming Winter.

But he is young with potential! Maybe tonight. Really need Grayson back asap.

Whitesox are 4-41 in their last 45 games. Let that sink in. Law of averages.

IIRC the 2018 Nina was fading, but probably still officially considered weak when the mid March snowstorm happened.

They need to sweep the worst team in baseball, a historically bad team. Get a little mojo, then go from there and see what happens.

Good info. Anecdotally, the Nina winters since 2016 have overall(minus the dud) produced better outcomes (snow) here than neutrals or Ninos. The 2022 Nina was actually better here than the 2016 Nino.

Remember how epic the Nino of last winter was going to be? Those big coastal storms late winter, with just enough cold! I will take the over this winter. Over meaning more snow than last winter, which was 8-10 inches for the DC area. That would be a pretty good outcome for a Nina with high solar, and increasing QBO. The PDO isn't a factor because its has been stuck negative for awhile, and is unfavorable more times than not during a Nina.

Fall feel out there. 68/59 and breezy. The lowering sun angle is becoming more notable.
