  1. I was trying to time it right to go to their clinching game. Ubaldo started that game so I didnt think they would win. Had tickets to the next night lol when all the regulars took off lol
  2. Lack of developing there high draft pic pitchers and not investing in scouting , especially international scouting has really hurt them over the past 20 years or so.
  3. I loved Buck Showalter. Did more with less. One of the best in baseball at managing a bullpen. With the exception of letting ubaldo face Encarnacion with the season on the line. You cant let the best closer in baseball that season sitting.
  4. Hated to see Muss go but I dont blame him. O's were so dysfunctional and they low balled his offer so much that they basically were saying we dont want to sign you.
  5. How fast can you still bring it?
  6. Its pretty much unreadable at this point.
  7. Florida has the 8th most cases in the country. Sounds like a good move lol
  8. @nj2va @nw baltimore wx @Scraff I miss hockey! Would of been wrapping up round 1 and heading into our annual round 2 meeting against the dreadful pens lol, @yoda
  9. Surprised it's only to the 15th. If they decide its all good after that then go back for about 3 weeks. Doesnt make much sense to me.
  10. Once I saw middle aged people dying of it and even younger, weeks ago it got my attention real quick and realized it was something much more than "just the flu". How many middle aged people that are generally healthy do you see die from the flu? I dont know anyone.
  11. The measures put into place appear to be working for flattening the curve but as expected now we have the "why the hell did we do the lock down it wasnt that bad" group if people. I think sometimes the goverment has to protect people from themselves.
  12. Ive heard if your child gets the virus and needs to be hospitalised you cant go in with them. That would be the hardest part for any parent. It would just crush my wife and I.
  13. Thats really unfortunate for your son. Hopefully theres a way they can do something by the beginning of June from a graduation/celebration standpoint.
  14. Sorry to hear that about your family! Cherish the time with your kiddo. Lifes so short and you never know how long you have. My Sister lost her battle with Luekemia 2 weeks ago. 38 years old and left behind an 8 year old and 3 year old. Definitely made me look at life a little differently and not sweat the small stuff anymore.
  15. Sometimes its the goverments role to protect people from themselves lol
  16. Thank god there considered essential! Lol
  17. I agree. Social distancing is working. We need to let it run its course. Rushing it and needing to go back to tougher restrictions would be worse for the economy IMHO.
  18. We have been trying to give local restaurants some bussiness, a couple times a week. Weve done pizza, chinese, steaks from Outback.
  19. I agree. This was by far the worst winter in Smithsburg over the last 20 years that ive lived here. Even in the crap years when dca post 1.8 " for the season I still get my 10 to 15 up here.
  20. Ive heard that whatever grade you child had at the end of the 3rd marking period will be the final but that's just a rumor at this point. Distance learning has been a bit difficult so far. Mainly with just websites not working ,etc.
  21. Distance learning has been clunky so far. I have 2 kids in elementary school and the google classroom app can be somewhat diffucult to operate. Especially when you have links that direct you to websites that bog down your wifi. Tears from my 9 year old all afternoon because she keeps getting kicked off. Ive heard that whatever grade they ended up with at the end of the 3rd marking period will be there final grade but that's just a rumor right now.
  22. Im sure the amount of infections are much higher I agree. But they still wouldnt be in the ball park of influenza.
  23. They will change over time but they are what they are at this point.
  24. 2018 / 2019 flu season per cdc estimates - 35.5 million cases. 34,000 deaths. .09% death rate. Coronavirus to date - 622,973 Deaths - 27,586 Death rate - 4.48%
  25. I agree 100%. The curve will be a gradual trend down and not a drop off of a cliff lol. Its going to take time and patience. It appears that the current guidlines are working. The US needs to see it through and not rush things. IMO June 1st is a much more reasonable time frame to start opening things back up but we need to be flexible and adjust as time goes on.
