North Balti Zen

Anthony Santander - when he hits them - they stay hit.

Storm approaching downtown Baltimore it looks like.

Empty nest now with one child graduated from college and second child now in his first weeks of college. Also, just came into an extra week vacation per year at work. So...I am planning to chase snow this year at least once. Gonna toss the pup in the car and just go.

My how tunes have changed...

It rained from 9:00 pm last night for about 12 hours straight.

And...the suspended game is now over with the O's finishing the win. First back to back road sweeps of a three game series on one road trip since 2005.

Run differential is +15 so far. That's...really good. 5th best in AL.

Woo woo! O’s!

Woo! O’s!

O’s!

You mean November II. We now have November, November II, November III, November IV, November V and November VI around here and then May 181 days of November, if you will...

Deluge in downtown Balt. I have to assume this will be to you shortly in Balt County based on radar trajectory.

Another day, another Os W.

Did she have points of her own? All firm and high?

EXACTLY

How far off, you sat and wondered? Were you humming a tune from 1962? Was it funny how the night moves, with autumn closing in?

My eyes are getting their ass kicked by base reflectivity. Once it got here, not that bad. Score one for EJ and technology.

The wall of precip made it to my bldg in downtown Balt.

I am using something much more old school than base reflectivity - which is my eyes and the low visability as I look over there from 20 floors up.

Catonsville has to be getting drenched. I can see what looks like a wall of water over that way.

Whatever that is west of downtown Balt isn't moving very much from my vantage point in my bldg. Assuming rain under wherever that is to the west, they should be getting quite a bit.

That's kinda what I've arrived at. A completely bizarre year, Red Sox are clearly dealing with something after letting Betts go. Blue Jays and Rays are fine but not invincible and top two teams make it in each division so...why not (the redux) indeed. They are just frisky enough in this environment that it's fun to watch and root for. Also, I really trust Hyde - I think he's got a chance to be a really great manager over time and works well with what they have assembled. Scrappy and underdog can sometimes work in a sprint...

O's are playoff bound. This is happening.

Holy hell is it hot and humid downtown Balt. Just walked three blocks to grab a quick lunch and regretted it. I can see a storm/rain west of downtown from my building.
