Just a steady normal synoptic rain up here… about a half inch so far. Pretty much what we’ve done for a month now, frequent soakings that stay under an inch.

Nice! Wonder where in Thompson. Just catching up… holy rain balls dude lol. 5” today is nuts. Making up for Stein summers of yore.

Like 28 come from behind wins in the first half of season? You could set an alarm for like 9pm and tune into some magical ending for two months lol. Magic is nada mas. As ORH/Will would say, they out played their run differential handily in the first half.

How do ratios look?

I think I’m over 4” on the month, will have to double check at home. We’ve been pretty steady wet since mid-July. Had 0.18” this morning in the stratus. A lot of 0.2-0.75” type rainfalls this month.

That is a stomping. Teams going in different directions seems approp...

Floods, severe wind, tornadoes, crippling ice, tropical systems. Everything we get sounds better than scorched earth western forest fires. No thanks. Always the best of luck to all out in those areas. I'm sure the dynamics and fluidity of the situation is hard to grasp sometimes too.

You gotta be kidding me. Ball was barrelled with bases loaded too.

This rookie Gil has had 3 dominant starts now. Everything looking up for the Yanks all the sudden, it’s mind blowing lol.

I miss April/May/June when a guy named "Rougned" was the scariest hitter in the lineup because Stanton couldn't hit a beachball, LaMahieu was hitting .240 in singles, Torres couldn't field a ground ball to save his life or hit a baseball, Sanchez was hitting like .185 and couldn't catch a ball with spin on it (which is a problem for a catcher), the shaved head guy that looks like a traffic cop in the outfield never came up big, Gerrit Cole liked giving up 5-6 runs a game when they took his sticky stuff.... no one stole any bases, they stood flat footed on the bag waiting for the next strikeout.... life was good for Sox fans back then .

This is what makes the forum fun, ha. Good natured ball busting. That was a hilarious exchange.

Football is by far the best sport for fantasy because they only play once a week. Makes it manageable. You gotta be committed to do MLB fantasy. Personally though I like a sport where my team plays more than once a week. Like today, they lose one game, whatever reset and watch another a couple hours later. They lose the second game, we get to try it again tomorrow lol. And the next day, and the next. Don’t have to wait 6-7 days to watch my team and stew over it all week. Just reset each day for like half a year .

NFL has always crushed MLB because it’s on Sunday afternoons in the winter lol. NASCAR destroys most sports games too. Personally I find NFL to be one of my least favorite. MLB, hockey are tops.

I’m 100% with you. And MLB has had some of its highest ratings in TV in years and MLB TV is having a monster season. A lot of younger fans are not watching their local teams but other teams with superstars like Tatis Jr, Vladdy Jr, etc. Theres a lot more cross team watching going on than ever before. 9 innings or bust IMO. Don’t mess with game length.

I only like it if my team is winning after 7. Otherwise lets play 9 .

Yeah I just quoted that post for the observation, didn’t mean to imply agreement with the hyperbole . Another weenie obs is the change in rain drops today… morning was like lazy fat drops barely wetting the pavement and this evening is soaking small droplet stuff despite similar radar echoes. I mentioned it to the wife while driving and she goes “You’re a fukkin’ nerd you know that.” Love her, ha.

Even today, what a change in humidity with the warm front. MVL dew was 50F this morning and it’s now up to 67F. You could feel the swamp move in all afternoon. It’s just as noticeable as those cold front days when it does the reverse. Like two different days. Sweaty in the garden this evening.

Oh you there. New season. Regression is a biatch. This is like a winter where the coast defies odds and gets buried in snow Thanksgiving to New Years while the deeper interior watches it happen. Then February and March go full huggers for two months and everyone evens out relative to normal.

Yeah the Sox win that one in the first half of season, lol. Flip flops. Pretty even game, Yanks took it. Both bullpens just try as hard as possible to urinate down their legs. Kiki in the 9th swung badly at ball 4.

Needed two more innings of the bullpen fun for sure. We are getting screwed out of 4 innings of absolute mayhem between these two bullpens today. It was good entertainment, one of 162, onto tonight.

Ha! My bad don’t know why I only did 60. That’s legit.

Yeah that’s some water. GGEM/GFS/UK all similar axis on the whole with some slight variations.

Happened in that Halloween wind/rain storm a few years ago… total washout by Topnotch Resort lol. Luckily we were on the society side of that one but couldn’t get to work for a couple days. Like in Backedge’s area earlier this summer, get a good quick 3”+ in VT topography and you get problems in a hurry. We do seem to do flash flooding with the best of them in the Greens.

Wild wedge. Even a spot 57-59F there in the Lakes region?

Looks like a nice pocket of mid-70s at the official stations on the NAM.... add the 3-5F for the PWS variation.
