Sounds like a CFS CFS blend gets us three months of winter. Off to pitch my analysis to Bastardi...

In my living room, in fact.

It’s ****in’ awful! full agreement! the hurricane is large - hope people took cover!

I think is how we should post from now on!

I'm gonna wade in and end all my sentences with an exclamation point! It's a monster, shear won't affect it! I hope they are taking care in Lake Charles! God help the people in Port Arthur if this monster wobbles left!

Always impressive to see you take your Eeyore act on the road. In this case, to the main tropical thread...

If the playoffs started today they would be in.

O’s up three in 7th, if they hang on end day at 14-14. Still relevant.

Your climate, friend, is much more favorable for finding some snow in a Nina than ours is in the majority of our part of the mid-Atlantic. You should definitely have some hope. Down here, people are being more or less pretty realistic about what this set-up likely means.

That was actually a frustrating extra inning loss.

Tied at 7 after 7.

It’s 7-6 in the sixth. And the O’s hit a ton. This isn’t over.

Oh, and a second HR for Santander.

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

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...

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...

Another day, another Os W.

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

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...
