These f-ing refs.

2 calls now that had to be challenged to get it right. 

Chiefs don't go through this crap

Ridiculous.

Probably. SO Terps. Blew a 20-0 lead at home, with a chance to prove they could actually beat a decent team. They finish 500 at best, as usual.

McLaurin is a beast, but the C’s really need Jayden back. They basically will need to go 7-2 the rest of the way to have a chance at the playoffs.

Base-10 units are more logical, but having tangible reference units can be fun. Knots annoy me, though.

This season has 6- 11 written all over it.

Defense is atrocious

Every Shohei Ohtani feat is like - this is the first time since Button-Eyed Barnaby Jones did it with the Providence Grays in 1884.

Amazing game - bottom of the 17th now.

Knots are less annoying to me when considering degrees, minutes, and seconds. It’s kind of cool actually.

9 at bats, 9 times on base.  That is unreal.

if you're Toronto, it's basically malpractice to pitch to him unless you have like a 10 run lead.

Got my hands on my Great Grandfathers old film camera from 1979. Here's a picture from the top of Shenandoah!

Thanks for making some of us feel extra old. (Are you sure he was your GREAT Grandfather?)

Beautiful shot which probably looked the same in 1979. Very cool.

BTW, had a major (MECS) snowfall that year.

Refs trying to help the Chiefs again.

It's a love affair 

Yeah. Refs seem like they been leaning the Chiefs way  in last few games

SUUUUUUUUURRRRRREEEEEE this is a so-called strong cold front in Texas.

Strong winds earlier have stopped. We had far stronger south winds last night associated with August-magnitude humidity.

This "front" is pedestrian. I could go outside right now in speedos and soaked with water and conditions are NO DIFFERENT from last night.

Some cold front. I am sick with disappointment and howling with agonizing despair!

We will be fortunate to get much below 60 degrees tonight.

 

Every NWS forecaster in central Texas needs to get their sorry southern ass back into kindergarten and learn about how the weather is changing from now on, particularly in the Southern US.

Summer of HELL continues in south Texas, well into 2026.

It ain't looking good, that's for sure.  I was a little concerned going into the season that they're a bit too old as a team (in football years).  Not sure if that's a factor, but something is.

It really comes down to how often you use it as a reference.  If you always use mph and then all of a sudden someone mentions knots, having to do the conversion is tedious.  But if you start using knots regularly, then I'm sure converting back to mph will be the annoying part.

The Ravens not running the ball is a mystery to me.

 Yeah I agree!!  We have one of the best running teams yet we seem to throw more this year!!. Makes no sense to me
