It is, but is there enough time to split him and Adley...I think not.

Just saw that. So where does Adley go? Trade bait, DH or First Base?

Don't forget Eflin as long as he can stay healthy. I know this season is done, but....if the bizarro world somehow unfolded where they could somehow eek into the last wildcard spot, I think they could make things at least interesting. Please feel free to ridicule me, but they seem to be going back to the fundamentals somewhat and I think they will at least play spoiler to some of the teams looking to make the postseason. All in all, they need to be healthy for a full season to make any run at the postseason and that definitely didn't happen this year.

Left in the 5th last night. The look does matter. They need pitching and no free agents will want to come to Baltimore if management looks this incoherent. Who the heck is Greg Allen, and why is he now starting in CF?

Was in Myrtle Beach last week. Had a lot of rain throughout the week. On the drive home, was checking the radar as we were passing through more showers. This system started to form along the front and had started to get the counter-clockwise spin around the low, which I thought was cool and wondered if it would have enough strength to stay together. Looks like we have Dexter this morning!

Same here. Almost feels "crisp" without the mugginess. Enjoy all!

My aunt said to use Johnson's & Johnson's creamy baby oil with Aloe----the green bottle. Have used it this summer before i go to work outside and it seems to keep the bugs away.

Glad I stayed after the top of the 6th. Left at the start of the 7th when up 11-7. Was nice to see them finally be able to get some hits.

It's like an episode of Shameless. My high school soccer coach had a saying. "You guys can't stand prosperity" He would also say it in t similar situations where we had a lead and let the other team back into the game. His voice has been resounding in my head all season long.

Get hydrated now. I'm reffing High School summer league tonight and I don't think the AC is on in the school they are using.......

DCA: 99F IAD: 97F BWI: 99F RIC: 101F

Just had the best rolling thunder in a long time. Lasted about 40 seconds and shook the house. :-)

Playing the athletics next. Might be a nice run there as well. :-)

Saw one tiny lantern fly as well today planting flowers :-(

It is. They do have some good building blocks that just need experience. Happy to see a vets like Middleton and Smart there to teach. Still miffed about the draft lottery; too much of a coincidence to not make you wonder. OKC did a great job building their team. Hoping the Wiz can do the same.

Talking with my sons about the Wiz (One who played D3 and has friends in the NBA) and we were wondering why they don't look to hire Mike Malone or Taylor Jenkins. Both have built teams and with the young talent the Wiz do have, could be a good 2-3 year project to build a competitive team.

This is the cell that I was watching on radar that formed on 404 between Denton and Bridgeville. We just settled on a place in Millville and are heading down in about 30 minutes. Too bad I didn't go down earlier, would have been driving parallel with the storm.

I pulled up radarscope when I saw that note and there was a strange correlation coefficient readout between denton and bridgeville on 404. Maybe this is what he saw?

He also seemed genuinely excited to be picked by the Ravens too.

2 calls stick out in my head from the game last night. 1. The called strike on Gunnar when he checked his swing. There was no way he saw where the check swing stopped....and wouldn't ask third for help. 2. Soto was pitching to Woods in the bottom of the 8th and had a pitch that was a little higher than exact center of the zone, which led to a walk. walked. I know that the O's problems are much deeper than the umps, but these are calls that can't be missed and were game-changing calls. MLB needs to get to a spot where video review can be used to help correct these issues.

What are the chances that the Wiz do the right thing and hire Mike Malone or Taylor Jenkins? Need a proven winner of a coach in there. I hoped they hired Tom Thibodeau when he was available before the Knicks signed him.

During the dribble, there is no "Gather" in Highschool or College. It is about when the Pivot is established. Once established, it cannot be picked up and returned to the floor. In Queen's case, it looked as if he established the pivot, took a step and then returned the pivot to the floor as he was shooting. It was close, but he also did the same on a few of his drives. If they let it go earlier in the game, they weren't going to call it there. When a player receives a pass, they can also travel by lifting the pivot before dribbling. You can only pass or shoot once you lift the pivot before dribbling. For those of you interested, it's covered under rule 4-44 in the NFHS Rulebook, and as far as I know, the rule is also applied at all college levels.

Queen traveled a few times earlier in the game. Once they let him do that, they weren't going to make that call. They also had a lot of interesting calls/no-calls which could have changed the game earlier on. Ayers had a decent game officiating, the other two didn't.

Was in Austin for work the since Monday. Cedar pollen is no joke. Had to take a sick day to recover.

A lot of calls went Michigan's way yesterday. And they missed A LOT of travels on Michigan that led to points in the early 2nd half as well.
