Even with an O's loss yesterday, it wasn't as bad with the Rays losing to the Angels. The Rays margin of error is razor thin, and they couldn't afford a loss like that yesterday.

Needless to say this is the biggest series for the Orioles in 7 years starting tonight.

2nd? I'll take it.

This is what BCPS is doing: Grades 2-12: Students who attend schools without air conditioning will engage in synchronous virtual (live at home) learning. Schools will implement virtual learning plans and ensure students have access to laptops. Kindergarten and grade 1: Students will attend school in person on an early release schedule. Their learning spaces will be moved to rooms with air conditioning and City Schools will provide additional cooling support for those classrooms. Transportation and meals will be provided as usual. Pre-kindergarten: Students who attend schools without air conditioning will engage in asynchronous virtual (at-home) learning. Early learning staff will be available virtually to support these young learners.

Was at the game last night. The HR Santander hit sounded like it was shot out of a cannon.

I was waiting for the shoe to drop on this magical Orioles season. Welp, here it is.

Few patches of blue sky starting to show in Dundalk

I was worried about the O's "playing down" to the Mets. They got a sweep. Only need 1 of those games against Tampa to win the season series and tie breaker (in essence another game in the standings)

Here's hoping GrayRod becomes that ace. Oh and there is that John Means guy too.

Solid performance yesterday. Also, Ryan Mountcastle is going to have his passport revoked to go to Canada at this point.

Asking prices were insane. The White Sox wanted Holliday for Dylan Cease. The O's apparently made a deal acceptable deal with the Mets, but Verlander wanted to go back to Houston.

I don't know the temp out there. It's just brutal hot.

Mateo can MateGO

Flash flood warning for Dundalk. I'm just north of Eastpoint Mall and it's dark out, but no rain at all. Must just be on the outside edge of the rain

Been having a good constant rumble of thunder here for the past 20-30 minutes, but no rain.

First time since August 2016 that the O's are in sole possession of first.

Me: I want to trade for a Japanese pitcher! Mom: We have a Japanese pitcher at home. At home:

That looked like the 2021 Orioles last night, eesh

Snowmageddon and Snowmageddon 2: Snowpocolypse Now in 2010. My then wife and I really thought we were going to have our first child trapped at home.

One back in the loss column at that.

We've got 3 games before the All Star Break and the O's have won 51 games. They won 51 games total 2 years ago.

Baltimore County just came by and watered the trees that were planted here earlier in April. Really? They needed the extra water now?

Think there has been 3 or 4 torrential downpours in the past hour. Lasts maybe 3-5 minutes but a ton of rain falls and then just stops

It's soupy out there.

All of a sudden I hear James Spann's "Chemmmmmtraillllls" soundclip in my head.
