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.

Reacher season 3 started last night. Hope to watch some this weekend.

I see rogue flurries now here too.

They actually looked good. Played with passion and had fun on the court. Once Middleton gets there, it will go back to normal. We need that #1 pick.

Agree. Even if Luca is not in always in top shape, he still does more for a team than AD will. Plus they were in the finals last year. Really puts the Lakers in a better position and can maybe extend Lebron's career until his other son is drafted by the Lakers in 2 to 3 years :-)

Look at all us Ravens fans and Harbaugh :-) On another note, if it snows Sunday and there is no school on Monday, how many are closed on Tuesday because there was no maintenance crew onsite Monday to clear the sidewalks and parking lots?

Hope not. I have 5 games.

Yes.....about a mile before and a mile after rt. 91

I lived about a mile from where PSU now lives. Had to commute to the Metro to go to working Baltimore. I remember snow drifts along rt. 30 that were almost as tall as the telephone/power lines where the snow blew from the open fields.
