  1. Central/N central MD is in a severe drought. It would take a inch+ to move the needle. A half inch or less is pretty meh unless its a prelude to a wetter period.
  2. My wetland, which never got totally wet, is now drying up. Just a few areas that have 2-3 inches of water. I hit it with a bit more larvicide today.
  3. Looks pretty paltry(if you don't hug one model) esp for the places that really need it.
  4. Elias is stuck in 'development mode' and should be fired. The reality is this team is lost and sinking fast. Hyde will probably be the one to go, despite the pitching issues/injuries being largely out of his control. This team is completely listless and with high expectations someone has to take the fall.
  5. The long hot days will drag on seemingly forever, before our brief respite of shorter days and longer nights return once again. Life in the subtropics of the MA.
  6. Bored with baseball already. 2 days until the NFL draft. 11 picks. Trade up, trade down, trade Andrews? LFG Ravens!
  7. Anyone watching The Last of Us? Holy crap.
  8. Eff baseball. Eff Elias. NFL back in the spotlight this week. Round 1 of the draft in prime time Thursday. Ravens have 11 picks in the draft. They are so good at accumulating extra picks, and for a team that is always competitive and consistently drafts in the bottom, they always find talented players who can contribute right away.
  9. He pitched- 1 inning and gave up 5 runs
  10. 20-1 lol Pitching is brutal.
  11. Not sure how humans can stand it either lol. I have been doing this for years and it works. I cut a bar in half, make a hole in it and tie it onto a Shepard's hook so it hangs above my rose bushes.
  12. Sun broke out here an hour or so ago. Up to 80.
  13. Latest update from US Drought monitor- https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?MD Went from moderate drought to slightly abnormally dry here with the rains of the last couple weeks. Central MD and westward to Frostburg remain in a severe drought.
  14. He gone. Up to the young pitchers and hope the Os are within a few games of 500 when/if Bradish and Wells make it back down the road. This is all on Elias.
  15. Yeah they need to do something. The long regular season doesn't mean much anymore when so many teams get in. Two years ago 3 teams won 100+ games and had to sit around for 5 days, then all lost in the actual first round(division series) to inferior teams who got hot at the end and maintained their momentum. All about money ofc.
  16. They could sneak in as a wildcard finishing 5 games over 500. The long ass season in Baseball(that used to mean something) has become almost like the NBA. Ridiculous.
  17. It really does. Feels good out in the sun working in the garden with temps in the low 70s and DP around 50. No sweat.
  18. Well consider that several of the Orioles young players are represented by Scott Boras, most notably Gunnar Henderson. How many will they be able to(willing to) extend, when Boras advises them not to go that route? That being the case, Henderson will be a FA in 2028 and probably end up a Dodger.
  19. Elias needed to be aggressive in FA or via trade and he wasn't, other than making some middle of the road acquisitions. This team won 100 games 2 years ago, regressed a bit last season plus all the pitching injuries. Perpetually in 'build for the future' mode by developing prospects. It's getting a little old, and doing only that is not conducive to competing for the division when 3 of the 4 other teams consistently go after proven talent to improve their rosters.
  20. Ravens GM noncommittal on TE Mark Andrews' future with team https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/44686966/baltimore-ravens-gm-eric-decosta-noncommittal-te-mark-andrews-ahead-nfl-draft Wouldn't be surprising at all if he is traded, considering he is in the final year of his contract plus the emergence of Likely. Commanders might be interested.
  21. Looks pretty dry over the next 5 days.
  22. Long long season. They need to tread water for now, but don't want to fall 10 games under 500. Offense is wildly inconsistent and still not good in situational hitting. They have the talent so hopefully that improves some. Ultimately improvement/competing for the division requires better starting pitching. Not sure how that's going to work out exactly. Ideally Rodriguez and Eflin are back sooner than later, then see how it goes with Bradish and Wells down the road.
  23. This is now in the short range, so not sure why its being posted here. This rain is associated with a cold front(convection), and a marginal risk for severe currently. Depending on timing and dynamics, this could end up being upgraded.
  24. Unfortunately the other global guidance is less impressive, and the ens guidance as a whole doesnt agree. Once again a case of the GFS op offering a solution that likely doesn't come to fruition.
