My agreement was on the "It's inexcusable" comment re: its inexcusable for a team that is in a playoff chase to lose a series to one that is not. It should, and may well, cost them their shot at the playoff spot. I am not familiar enough with the O's to make specific comments.

Definitely on both fronts but I do not think we are above average enough to sustain a close to double digit positive. Just a hunch I guess.

I will take the under.

The CMC would down right sultry for October. Plentiful 70's.

I second this sentiment (highlighted area)

There is more precip down his way on the GFS. But taking the CMC and GFS literally, on the GFS its all based on a tropical system CMC is wetter but only 3-4 days of the 10 it shows. I am good with what the CMC shows but I think it may be early, in my opinion, to assume its all wet the next two weeks.

I am hoping we get something. I am one of the group wetinista's but several with weeks with little rain is not great. A lot of the rain next week is absed on the movements of a tropical system so that is pretty much coin flip time. GFS has backed way off a more wet forecast a day or two ago.

My favorite all time end of game song was when the Yank's stadium was playing "Start spreading the news" at the end of the improbable Red Sox come back from 3-0 down in 2004. I know its their typical end of game song but after that debacle it probably called for no song or something different.

Thanks for ruining the next 30 min of my morning. :-). The Red Sox have a "backing up" sound following them around right now.

Move the goal posts kind of like the collective brain power of UVA did, last night, to secure a terribly defensively played victory over the criminals in South Florida?

Training might finally score a win over me this Am. 41 is border "is that white on the roof" weather.

MDT slips in at 49 this Am. 45 here.

They must have had some sorry looking porch pumpkins up there that year. Temps like that will turn them into mush.

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday.

66 here at 145. Forecast high was right about that I think. Defintely under 70

MDT bottomed out at 52 with a DP of 48. Better not have been much wetness on the grass!

Still only 57 here. Brrr.

So you are saying they need a GFS 384 map to verify.

44 here. Any frost in the Low Lands?

I never looked up the etymology of that word so here goes... The late 19th-century Boston lexicographer Albert Matthews made an exhaustive search of early American literature in an attempt to discover who coined the expression.[2] The earliest reference he found dated from 1851. He also found the phrase in a letter written in England in 1778, but discounted that as a coincidental use of the phrase. Later research showed that the earliest known reference to Indian summer in its current sense occurs in an essay written in the United States circa 1778 by J. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur. The letter was first published in French. The essay remained unavailable in the United States until the 1920s.[3] Although the exact origins of the term are uncertain,[4] it was perhaps so-called because it was first noted in regions inhabited by Native Americans, or because the Natives first described it to Europeans,[5] or it had been based on the warm and hazy conditions in autumn when Native Americans hunted.[4] Because the warm weather is not a permanent gift, the connection has been made to the term Indian giver.[6] It is also suggested that it comes from historic native American legends, granted by the God or 'Life-Giver' to various warriors or men, to allow them to survive after great misfortune, such as loss of crops.[7][8] In literature and history, the term is sometimes used metaphorically. The title of Van Wyck Brooks' New England: Indian Summer (1940) suggests an era of inconsistency, infertility, and depleted capabilities, a period of seemingly robust strength that is only an imitation of an earlier season of actual strength.[9] William Dean Howells' 1886 novel Indian Summer uses the term to mean a time when one may recover some of the happiness of youth. The main character, jilted as a young man, leads a solitary life until he rediscovers romance in early middle age. In British English, the term is used in the same way as in North America. In the UK, observers knew of the American usage from the mid-19th century onwards, and The Indian Summer of a Forsyte is the metaphorical title of the 1918 second volume of The Forsyte Saga by John Galsworthy. However, early 20th-century climatologists Gordon Manley and Hubert Lamb used it only when referring to the American phenomenon, and the expression did not gain wide currency in Great Britain until the 1950s. In former times such a period was associated with the autumn feast days of St. Martin and Saint Luke.[10] In the English translation of Boris Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago, the term is used to describe the unseasonably warm weather leading up to the October Revolution.[11]

If its the same pics as last year, I will review. :-)

There are some people that think night time "radiation" causes high temps at our official location station which is not far from Three Mile Island. Ha. If you are familiar with the Nuclear Accident in PA during the late 70's. But in seriousness, I know the valleys to my east really do radiate well during the winter but you seem well ahead of us. We were just talking about how later summer temps may try to make a comeback in a couple weeks...unfortunately.

Good Morning. You are running ahead of us and our lowlands. Some of PA's higher areas could see some tomorrow night.

Their long losing streak was later in the season.

And the O's started off 3-0.
