  1. I was in Vegas over the weekend for a Wedding and had a blast. It was in the 90s on Thur. and Fri., but didn't even hit 80 o Sat or Sun...kind of chilly. I was also very fortunate to get last minute tickets to see U2 at Sphere. It was an amazing show and I'll post pics when I get some time tomorrow.
  2. Does it seem that they are relying on matchups when playing the relievers? Too many times you see a guy come in for the 6th, and handle the order with no issues to only to face 3 batters. maybe they should let them stay to start the next inning would allow them to conserve some of the arms. I didn't play baseball past the 7th grade, but think I know enough about the sport to think that the revolving door from the bullpen could be causing this issue.
  3. Basketball is starting up slowly. I have a Referee gig in District Heights on Sat morning and one in New Windsor Sat evening. Good timing with the rain.
  4. Did you hear Hyde selling him as an extra bat last night? He was making all of those switches and mentioned that they were 7 spots from the DH, which they subbed out. Flaherty would have batted if necessary since he batted in the past and was decent for a pitcher.
  5. He has had issues almost every year going back to college. It's a shame that this had to happen before he gets his due.
  6. Prayers for those affected by the earthquake in Morocco.
  7. The flight Path to BWI from the west usually takes the flights from here to about 5 miles north towards Taylorsville as the approach the area to land at BWI. It makes sense that it is plane related, but so odd, almost like a plane carved that specific cloud right in half.
  8. Does this look like a contrail shadow on the thin cloud layer, or could the Jet have "dissected" the cloud. If you zoom in, it really doesn't seem to be a shadow. Any way...I thought it was interesting and would share.
  9. I think the trough is weakening, which might allow it to move closer to the coast. I am no expert, but that is what I gathered from the run.
  10. Supposed to have mine installed as well, but they asked to push back a few days. Looks like now it won't be until next week.
  11. I remember sweating our a$$e$ off in elementary and middle school. They would open the large windows in the old buildings if the wood panes didn't stick, but all that did was let the flies come in and bother us. We also had a 2nd recess back then, maybe to get the stink out of the classroom for a little bit.....:-)
  12. I watered the flowers about an hour ago as well :-)
  13. Saw the strokes with the Chili Peppers this spring. My daughter is an older soul and loves that music.
  14. Dropped #2 off last night. Luckily he is at Towson University, but still miss him. :-( #3 (my baby)is going to Drexel and they have classes on a quarter term, so I get 3 more weeks of her before she has to go. Going to be very quiet here this year.
  15. Agreed. I have teammates in Phoenix and Austin and consistently hear about the heat. The peeps from Omaha and St. Louis also occasionally have been hit. We have had a very bland summer and should be happy for it. On another note, it is a great time to have a broken air conditioner unit. The kids are all going away to school and I have a portable room unit i can use for the bedroom until I get it fixed. :-) Am not looking to shell out tons of cash yet for a new unit.
  16. If you are still there over the weekend, you should try to find a local pub and watch a premier league game since this is the opening weekend for the season.
  17. You are correct, Houston is a really strong team with a lot of experience too.. Maybe I had a bad day yesterday, but just had a bad feeling after giving all of those runs up late in both games. I know that Bautista will recover, but it seems like the middle relievers are just walking way too many batters in the past few weeks and that is concerning. I also hope they don't play down to their opponents level with some of the weaker teams coming up on the schedule.
  18. Can we blame Angelos, or is this just the law of averages working it's way out?
  19. I can't explain how embarrassing this is to the whole organization. Kevin Brown was reporting factual information everyone can look up. The other issue here is that that segment was produced, not just an off comment made on the air. There was a graphic and more than likely it was part of the story line for the series in Tampa. I really hope this isn't another Jon Miller debacle. Sports team owners need to just need to put the money up and sit back. Heck it isn't even his money....
  20. Sorry to hear that. I'm on the north side of town and still have power. I could hear the initial gust come in and it was moving.
